Fristads Workwear

Fristads have been making high-quality workwear since 1925. Founded in the village of Fristads near Borås, Sweden, they have grown to be a major brand in the sector.  In the 20’s workwear was not available in Sweden, so John Magnusson grabbed the opportunity to exploit an open marketplace.  By 1929, Magnusson’s company was the first to make jeans.  He had created a complete range of workwear that included coveralls, blouses and coats for dockers. 

Magnussons first workforce was made up of skilled seamstresses from local farms – meaning that the people best placed to understand the people wearing the clothes.  The speed of production and quality of clothes meant that demand soon outstripped supply and new factory premises were acquired.  This foundation of market knowledge and experience means that today, Fristads understand the needs of working professionals better than many in the sector.
