Far out on a cape overlooking the Oslofjord, near the picturesque Strömstad, is Gaardhagen & Kanaljen.
Gaardhagen & Kanaljen is a small family business, run with love and care. They see themselves as idealists, but firmly believe in living in harmony with nature, each other and still being able to deliver clothes in the highest quality materials. Gaardhagen & Kanaljen is a unique collection of men's clothing that is produced by themselves and from 100% linen fabrics from some of Europe's remaining linen mills. The idea is to create garments that you can "live" in, without having to be afraid of stains and wear. All jackets and suits therefore become "the wearer's garment" over time and are shaped according to the body's movement patterns, making them completely unique.

Both design and production have roots in turn-of-the-century men's tailoring – and vanity. As undertones there is a harmony of style, humor and esprit. The garments are mostly for him and offer linen suits and linen shirts, combined with hats, shoes and accessories from some of the world's leading craft companies.
