American menswear collection Loden Dager made its first retail appearance in the Fall of 2006. The brand’s heritage is rooted in the sartorial idea of the intellectual workingman as a new archetype born of massive social change. Key references have ranged from the futurist movement of the 1920s, the masculine rigidity of the 1940s, the mod Sixties, the utopian hippie dream of the 1970s and the techno fabrications of the new millennium. Loden Dager is dedicated to making inspired, relevant menswear for the contemporary artist, leader, student, and everyman. In 2008 Loden Dager was invited by UNIQLO to create a capsule collection sold worldwide and was awarded the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation prize for menswear.
