Besnard is a menswear label with tailoring at its core, and it shapes everything else we make.

We draw inspiration from how clothes were made and worn in the past, incorporating classic design and traditional craft into our collection. We hold to the belief that a few well-made things serve better than many that are not.

The name goes back to 1876, when A. Besnard Tailleur opened its doors in The Hague. Today the house is led by Victor Besnard, the founder's great-great-grandson.

Our house style has a full chest, slightly extended shoulders, open quarters, and a generous lapel with a low gorge.

The shoulders are unpadded and the construction is soft, with just enough canvas to shape the jacket. One of its most distinctive features is a hidden dart running from armhole to pocket.

Guided by traditional tailoring, the house style combines classic proportions with a silhouette cut to flatter. It is easy and comfortable to wear.
