Hartford

Brought up in France, Yves Chareton started the Hartford project in the US in 1979, before returning to France, where the brand began its commercial development: the collections grew in size and became synonymous with faultless materials and style.

By mixing European influences with a very west coast casual style, the brand quickly gained cult status on both sides of the Atlantic. At Hartford, the “Classics” aspect is to be found in the fabric and the cuts: the garments are made from the finest European fabrics, such as French linen, cotton fabrics from Albini in Italy, Maruwa in Japan, or Liberty.
