Troelstrup

Troelstrup opened in Copenhagen in 1908 and is still a family business. Claus Frederiksen took it over in 2008 and runs it with his daughters, Anne-Sofie and Cathrine. It is the city's largest independent menswear shop, spread over four floors at Vester Voldgade 5, and there is an online shop too.

The edit sits across heritage, tailoring and luxury. Barbour, Canali, BOSS and Paul & Shark anchor it, with Mackintosh, Loake, Eterna, Lloyd, Oscar Jacobson and Tiger of Sweden alongside smaller names like Antonio Maurizi, Rhanders Handsker and Tateossian. Shoes get proper space, and the 120-plus brands include a selection for sizes 3XL and up. The founder, Christian Troelstrup, said a poor product always ends up too expensive for the customer, and the shop still buys that way.
