Knitwear for men

Knitwear for men occupies a particular place in European textile history. Long before globalised fashion, sweaters, cardigans, and knit garments were produced in regional clusters with specialised machines, skilled knitters, and deeply local supply chains. Some of these ecosystems still exist today, often quietly, often at the margins of mass fashion.

This knitwear collection brings together European men’s knitwear brands that maintain production in Europe, from historic knitwear regions in France and Italy to modern ateliers in Portugal and Eastern Europe. Some brands operate industrial knitting facilities, others rely on smaller workshops, but all reflect a continuity of textile know-how that is increasingly rare.

Materials matter here. From fine merino wool and cashmere blends to cotton and technical yarns, European knitwear often prioritises fibre quality, construction, and longevity over seasonal trends. Many of these garments are designed to be worn for years, not months.

This selection is curated for those who care about where knitwear is made, how knit structures influence comfort and durability, and why European knitwear manufacturing still carries cultural and industrial significance.
