Masculine style is in Hast's DNA. We make classic, elegant and fine pieces. We also place great importance on the fabrics that we source from renowned suppliers.
Our style and our requirement
Hast produces timeless men's fashion, mixing classic, formal pieces with a more contemporary, casual look, as seen in our seasonal collections.
Our materials
Hast clothing is made from 98% natural materials. We place an emphasis on using fibres such as wool, linen, cotton, or even blends such as linen-cotton-ramie. We take great pride in the quality of weaving and the jerseys used to make our products. Natural materials have the twin advantage of being more durable whilst also not requiring any chemical treatment in production.
European production: (95% in the EU…), towards more made in France…
When Hast was founded, we wanted to avoid falling into the industry trap of outsourcing all of our production. 95% of our clothes are made at production sites in Europe apart from our work jackets, which are made by a French-owned manufacturer with a site in Tunisia. We make every effort to produce our clothing in Europe and to minimise unnecessary travel. However, Europe now has a scarcity of certain specialist skills and knowledge, as workshops have relocated en masse in recent decades. As these specialist skills and methods return to Europe and France in particular, more and more of our clothes will be made in Europe and France.
Our workshops
Trust is key to what we do. For almost 10 years, we have worked with workshops in all four corners of Europe. To give you the finest in men's clothing, we have teamed up with partners based in Portugal, Italy, Scotland and the Baltic states.
