Men's Fashion Brands

Welcome to the Men's Fashion Brands directory. In this section you will find men's fashion brands from leading apparel companies and fashion designers - clothing, footwear and fashion accessory labels for menswear, filed alphabetically so a name you already know takes seconds to find. This is page one of three hub pages: it carries the letter hubs for A through G, and the alphabet bar under the hero links all twenty-six men's letter hubs, A to Z. The featured profiles in the second chip grid are the examples showcased here - an unusually long list, previewing names from across the whole alphabet, not only from A to G. The letter hubs, here and on pages two and three, are the complete indexes.

The opening letters show the menswear market's breadth in miniature. A holds Adidas, Akademiks, Armani, Ashworth and Avirex - sportswear, streetwear, Italian tailoring, golf apparel and flight-jacket heritage in one letter. B adds Bass, Ben Sherman, Billabong, Boss, Burberry and Burton. C is a workhorse letter: Calvin Klein, Champion, Chaps, Cherokee, Claiborne, Cole Haan, Columbia and Converse. D pairs Dickies workwear with Dockers; E brings Ecko; F, Fruit of the Loom; G, Geoffrey Beene. Workwear, sportswear, tailoring, outdoor clothing and underwear basics all file in the same alphabet, because that is how men actually build a wardrobe - across categories, by the names they trust for each job.

How the Men's Directory Is Organized

Each audience directory on Apparel Search follows the same three-hub pattern, and the men's is no exception. This hub covers A to G; page two covers the H to P letter hubs; page three completes Q to Z. From any letter hub, the individual brand profiles file one per label, covering that label's men's lines - its products, fits and sizing character. A brand that also sells women's or children's clothing may carry a separate profile in those directories, written for that audience's side of the brand; this directory's profiles stay on the men's side. When the same name appears in two audiences, start here for menswear questions and follow the section navigation for the others.

The featured grid below is best used as a set of shortcuts, not as a ranking. It is the hub's own example list - Hanes, Hurley, Izod, Jerzees and Jockey from the middle letters, Levi's from L, K-Swiss from K, New Balance, O'Neill, Oakley and Original Penguin from N and O, and Speedo, Spyder and Timberland from S and T - the names put in front of a first-time reader. If your brand is not among them, it has not been excluded; it is filed under its letter hub like every other profile. The alphabet bar is the fastest route to it: first letter, letter hub, profile. That three-step path is the whole design of this directory.

Researching a Menswear Brand

A men's brand profile is most useful when you read it against the job the clothes have to do. Menswear labels tend to specialize more narrowly than their marketing suggests: a name filed here for tailored clothing may also sell casual shirts, but the profile's weight will sit where the brand's reputation sits. As you browse the A to G hubs, note three things per label - the categories it is genuinely known for, the fit character the profile describes (classic, athletic, slim, relaxed workwear cuts are different promises), and whether the name is a specialist or a full-range outfitter. Those three notes, taken across two or three competing labels in the same letter, will tell you more than an afternoon of product listings.

This directory also carries the wider routes for menswear research: the men's fashion glossary entry, popular fashion brands, fashion designers, men's clothing stores, wholesalers, buyers' guides and men's fashion news are all in this page's link blocks, alongside the main Fashion Brands page. Use the news and buyers' routes when you are researching the trade side of a label, and the stores route when you are ready to buy. If you know of an exciting men's apparel brand name that is not listed in our guide, please let us know - and thank you for utilizing our men's fashion brand guide for your research.
