How Ogun Clothing Came To Specialise In Blending Traditional Menswear, Workwear And Outdoor Pieces
How Ogun Clothing Came To Specialise In Blending Traditional Menswear, Workwear And Outdoor Pieces. Ogūn is an essential menswear brand that is passionate about quality, functionality, the classic and the modern. The company specialises in blending traditional menswear, workwear and outdoor pieces, all inspired by a life in the Mother City.
Ogun Clothing produces an evolving range of diverse yet timeless menswear and accessories using traditional manufacturing techniques. The company’s garments are made from locally sourced and sustainable materials wherever possible. The company’s first collection was launched in 2017 with the mission to produce good clothing based on decent fits, quality materials and distinct yet sensible designs.
One of its deepest joys is knowing who the business supports and helping its manufacturing partners and their families grow as it grows. The company visits its factories weekly and talk to those who work there – most of them are mothers and fathers who talk and enjoy themselves. It is essential for the company that they thrive as this ultimately affects the quality of the products it produces.
The company’s name was inspired by OGŪN, the YORUBA GOD. The company explained on its website that, “Ogun is a master craftsman and artist, farmer, warrior, the essence of creativity and destruction, a recluse and a gregarious imbiber, a reluctant leader of men and deities”.
