Made in Portugal Clothing

Portuguese jerseys and tailoring from independent boutiques for everyday wear.

Made in Portugal clothing on this wall is mostly cotton: shirts, knitwear, hoodies and jeans from designers who make these pieces in Portugal. Most Portuguese clothing makers are in the north, around Porto and Braga, and T shirts and jerseys are among the country's top exports. Structured silhouettes balance relaxed cuts with clean drape across deep navy, white, washed green, and pitch black.

Sunspel, an English label that began making fine underwear in Nottingham in the eighteen sixties, has the pieces on this wall made in Portugal. Drôle de Monsieur comes from two self made designers from Dijon and mixes seventies prints with the nineties, when rap arrived in France. A.P.C., founded in Paris by Jean Touitou, has jeans here made in Portugal, and so does Axel Arigato, from Gothenburg, with its sneakers.

Due West in Toronto brings most of this wall, from Drôle de Monsieur hoodies and Sunspel to A.P.C. jeans and Kenzo. WDLT117 in Toronto adds Marine Serre tops with its moon print, Y/Project and Toga Pulla.
