GANT sweater

GANT is a premium lifestyle brand with a unique history that bridges American heritage and Swedish ownership. Founded in 1949 by Bernard Gantmacher in New Haven, Connecticut, the brand originally built its reputation as a high-quality shirtmaker for the Ivy League. Over the decades, GANT pioneered iconic features such as the locker loop and the box pleat.

While the brand maintains its creative roots in New Haven and its global headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, manufacturing is distributed across an international supply chain. Products are typically manufactured in countries including China, India, Turkey, Portugal, and Vietnam to balance quality craftsmanship with global distribution. In 2008, the brand was acquired by the Swiss holding company Maus Frères (now MF Brands Group), which continues to oversee its global operations.
