Gardeur

Gardeur's story began in 1920, when it was founded as a family business producing outerwear in Mönchengladbach, Germany. In 1959 the company chose to specialise in men's trousers, and a decade later Gardeur became Germany's first trouser brand. More than a century on, it remains a true trouser specialist, designing its collections in Mönchengladbach with a single aim: to offer the finest quality and a perfect fit.

Fit sits at the heart of everything Gardeur does. Its expert team of designers and garment technicians combines precise patterns with careful detailing to create trousers with a fit that is unmistakably its own. In 1974 Gardeur became one of the first clothing makers to manufacture in its own factory abroad, and for more than 50 years it has produced in its own facilities in Tunisia, ensuring consistently high quality and thoughtful, innovative construction.

Innovation and responsibility have long gone hand in hand at Gardeur. In 2007 it became the first German clothing manufacturer to launch jeans made from fair trade cotton, and today its production sites use laser, ozone and eFlow washing technology to significantly reduce water and chemical use. Combined with safe, modern workplaces and a fair company culture in both Germany and Tunisia, it all forms part of the brand's motto: Pants for Life.
