About Our Legacy

OUR LEGACY is a Swedish fashion brand founded in 2005 by Jockum Hallin, Cristopher Nying, and later joined by Richardos Klarén. Initially launched as a T-shirt line, OUR LEGACY evolved into a full menswear label in 2008, known for its unique blend of minimalism, unconventional design, and a deep respect for classic tailoring. The founders, with backgrounds in skate culture, music, and fashion, sought to create a brand that defied fleeting trends, focusing instead on timeless design, high-quality materials, and a distinctive aesthetic that reflects Swedish modernism.

The brand’s ethos revolves around “reworked classics”—familiar, timeless silhouettes that are subtly altered or reinterpreted to create something both familiar and fresh. OUR LEGACY became renowned for its ability to merge refined tailoring with streetwear influences, using premium fabrics and experimental washes that give each piece a distinct character. Their collections often feature relaxed, oversized cuts, muted tones, and a mixture of natural materials like wool, cotton, and linen, reflecting a minimalist but artfully disheveled style.

OUR LEGACY has developed a reputation for its innovative use of textures and fabrics, often incorporating materials like Italian wool, Portuguese cotton, and Japanese denim. The brand’s exploration of fabric treatments and dyeing techniques, particularly their signature over-dyeing process, has become one of its defining features, resulting in garments that have a worn-in, lived-in feel from the outset.

Over the years, OUR LEGACY has expanded internationally, gaining a loyal following among fashion-forward consumers and industry insiders alike. Their collections are known for their subtle eccentricity and thoughtful design, creating a balance between the avant-garde and the everyday. In 2016, the brand introduced OUR LEGACY WORK SHOP, an initiative focused on sustainability, where they upcycle deadstock fabrics and garments into new creations, further emphasizing their commitment to responsible fashion.

Today, OUR LEGACY is celebrated for its innovative yet understated approach to menswear (and now womenswear), continuing to challenge the boundaries of contemporary fashion while staying true to its roots in classic design and craftsmanship. Its unique fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and a more experimental, artistic approach has made OUR LEGACY a key player in the global fashion scene.
