Our Legacy

Our Legacy was founded in 2005 in Stockholm by Cristopher Nying, Jockum Hallin, and Richardos Klarén, three Swedish friends who had been producing graphic t-shirts as a side project. The label gradually evolved from t-shirt graphics into a complete ready-to-wear practice characterised by a particular synthesis of Scandinavian restraint, vintage Americana reference, and an obsession with fabric — felt wool, hand-dyed cotton, repurposed deadstock textiles. The Our Legacy vocabulary settled around several signatures: oversized Borrowed Chino, the hand-dyed denim line, the famous half-belt blazer, raw-edge wool tailoring, and a constantly evolving but unmistakably consistent textile-led palette. The brand's wholesale presence at Dover Street Market, Mr Porter, MATCHESFASHION (now MATCHES), and Selfridges established it as one of the most-respected European mid-luxury menswear brands of the past decade. Our Legacy operates flagship stores in Stockholm, Paris (Marais), London (Soho), and Antwerp, plus an expanding wholesale network. The brand remains independent and held by the three founders. The Our Legacy Work Shop (the brand's collaboration platform) has produced limited-edition collections with Stüssy, Hidden NY, Suicoke, and others. Few Scandinavian brands have built such a coherent textile-led identity at the menswear mid-luxury tier.
