Far out on a headland overlooking the Oslofjord, near the picturesque Strömstad, is Gaardhagen & Kanaljen.
Gaardhagen & Kanaljen is a small family business, which is 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 menswear produced by themselves and from 100% linen fabrics from some of Europe's remaining linen weavers. The idea is to create garments that you should be able to "live" in, without having to be afraid of stains and wear. Over time, all jackets and suits therefore become "the wearer's garment" and they are shaped according to the body's movement patterns and thus become completely unique.

Both design and production have roots in men's tailoring at the turn of the last century - and vanity. Undertones are a harmony of style, humor and spirit. The clothes are mostly for him, offering linen suits and linen shirts, combined with hats, shoes, and accessories from some of the world's top craft companies.
