Stenstroms

Stenströms is a Swedish label that has been making shirts since 1899, with its craft firmly rooted in Sweden. Alongside shirts, the range takes in knitwear and accessories, and it is sold to both men and women, so this is not a shirt maker in the narrow sense.

The focus is on luxury fabrics and Swedish craftsmanship, which is the sort of detail worth asking about if you are trying one on. UK stockist The Local Merchants carries the men's range as part of its classical menswear offer, which is ready to wear with a sartorial slant. It suits anyone building a smart wardrobe from well-made basics.
