About Brax

Brax is a German menswear label built around trousers. Its story runs back to 1888, when Bernward Leineweber founded a small menswear business in Berlin; the Brax name itself, taken from "braka", the Latin word for trousers, was adopted in 1950. Today the label is run from Herford, Germany, with design, buying and distribution handled there alongside partners worldwide. Brax works in corduroy, cotton, linen, jersey and sweat fabrics, cutting trousers, chinos and jeans in slim, straight and regular fits under the line "Feel good in Brax". In 2023 it produced 7.5 million pieces, with 34% of sales made outside Germany.
