At Rufford’s, we take immense pride in offering the finest clothing brands, seamlessly combining classic aesthetics with contemporary innovation. This commitment to excellence is why we are delighted to introduce GANT to our country clothing store. With a heritage rooted in American sportswear, refined with European sophistication, GANT aligns perfectly with the lifestyle and values of our customers.
The Story Behind GANT
GANT’s journey began in 1949 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. The brand was founded by Bernard Gantmacher, a skilled shirtmaker whose unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship set new standards in fashion. GANT became known for its signature style, featuring timeless designs and innovative details. Among their hallmark features were the back-collar button, locker loop, and box pleat, which quickly garnered widespread recognition. These unique elements set them apart from other brands and established them as a symbol of quality.
Over time, GANT evolved from its origins as a shirtmaker to a lifestyle brand, offering a full range of clothing and accessories for both men and women. Despite its evolution, GANT has remained firmly committed to quality, style, and the timeless appeal that made it a household name.
