Oscar Jacobson
Oscar Jacobson works in ”slow fashion”. This means that their suits can last for over ten years. For them to last that long, the quality and style of the suit must endure over time, and it must be possible to adjust the garment to a body that might get new measurements during such a long period.
Oscar Jacobson focuses a lot on traceability, sustainability, and quality. Many of their suppliers are environmentally certified and/or quality-assured through various organizations. They constantly work to obtain more certifications and quality assurance.
Qualities produced for the manufacturing of golf apparel, trousers, and shirts are purchased from European suppliers, almost exclusively from Italy. Knitted qualities are exclusively produced in Italy. Oscar Jacobson only uses mule-free wool. This usually happens without anesthetics and is a painful surgical procedure for the sheep, which could and should be avoided.
In Oscar Jacobson, they work to minimize the shipping of products and deliveries by shortening the distances to production and optimizing shipping. OEKO-TEX100, REACH, GOTS, and ISO certifications are examples of some of those certifications. The dye houses have closed systems and follow European law.
