Gant
CASUALWEAR & SPORTSWEAR WITH HISTORY
The history of the GANT brand began in 1941 when the company founder, Bernard Gant, started producing classic men’s shirts for America’s leading brands in New Haven (Connecticut) on the East coast of America.
As a passionate ‘shirtmaker’, he developed endless new details and cuts and experimented with sporty designs. He drew inspiration for his designs from the nearby Yale University and the active and casual lifestyle of its elite students. This led to him launching his own brand of men’s shirts soon after.
His casual yet elegant leisure shirts initially featured a small woven ‘G’ and incorporated new features such as a button-down collar, ‘locker loop’ and box pleat. A true innovation of the day.
The men’s shirts became increasingly popular on the US market until Bernard Gant and his sons Marty and Elliot launched the first collection under the GANT brand name in 1949 and laid the foundations for the globally successful GANT brand as we know it today.
The style entered fashion history as ‘American East Coast Style’ and was significantly influenced by Bernard Gant himself. It is all thanks to him that the ever-popular rugby shirts, sweaters, polo shirts, Oxford shirts, club blazers and chinos etc. still form part of fashion today.
Over the course of 6 decades, the original collection of men’s shirts gave rise to a comprehensive collection of casualwear and sportswear for men, women and children. Living accessories, shoes, watches, glasses and perfumes are also sold across the world under the GANT brand nowadays.
Today, GANT represents a fashion and a style which continue to focus on the casual college and campus look of America’s elite student population, in particular their sporting activities and lifestyle. This lifestyle is influenced to a greater or lesser extent by traditional American team sport such as baseball, lacrosse, sailing and rowing.
These sports have always been popular with students at America’s elite universities and gave rise to the college and campus look with a sporty edge which defined GANT in the 50s and 60s. Always relaxed and casual; well-dressed but never overdressed.
An old tradition which GANT has preserved and continues to re-interpret in its fashion themes.
A fashion style which fits in perfectly with the world of tennis, its environment and its main protagonists. The GANT brand does not ‘just’ stand for fashion; it also represents an active lifestyle and sociable involvement in sport.
