Stenströms men: Swedish shirt tradition since 1899

Stenströms was founded in 1899 in Helsingborg by tailor August Stenström. His reputation for fashionable, well-made shirts created such demand that he opened his own factory. The company grew quickly and became the largest shirt factory in Scandinavia in 1912.

More than a century later, the brand remains focused on shirts and blouses with high material and workmanship quality. Design and product development are managed from Helsingborg. The result is a recognizable combination of Scandinavian clarity and classic tailoring.

Construction and materials of a Stenströms shirt

Stenströms pays a lot of attention to collar, cuffs, yoke, seams and buttons. The premium 1899 line uses, among other things, long-staple Supima cotton, a split yoke for ease of movement and mother-of-pearl buttons. Not every shirt has the same construction, so always check product specifications.

Cotton, linen and material combinations each offer a different feeling. Cotton is versatile and smooth, linen feels airier and naturally wrinkles more easily. The weave also determines how formal, soft or structured the shirt looks.

Stenströms Slimline and other fits

Stenströms offers different fits. Slimline has a stronger fit around the chest and waist. Other fits offer more space and freedom of movement. The right choice starts with the collar size, but shoulders, chest, waist, sleeve length and back length are also important.

A collar must close comfortably without pinching. The shoulder seam should be around the natural shoulder point. At Artson Fashion we are happy to help you compare different fits as soon as models become available.

Availability and maintenance

The online offer may change and will be supplemented when new stock is available. In the meantime, this page remains a reference work for fit, material and brand history.

Wash a shirt according to the label, preferably inside out and with closed buttons separate from the drum wall. After washing, remove it from the machine in time and iron it while the fabric is still slightly damp. Avoid excessive temperatures to protect fibres and colour.

How to combine Stenströms men's shirts

Wear a white or light blue shirt with a men's suit. A design works beautifully on men's trousers or jeans. Also view all our men's shirts, men's ties and men's clothing.

Choose a collar for the whole outfit

When comparing Stenströms shirts, look at the collar alongside the jacket and accessories you plan to wear. A more open collar creates room for a fuller tie knot, while a compact shape gives a different frame to the face. Neither replaces the need for a comfortable collar measurement and enough movement through the shoulders.

A shirt for work may also serve for dinner or a relaxed day when styled differently. Wear it with tailored trousers for a polished look, then change to denim and an open neckline for an easier combination. Subtle patterns are useful when you want some personality without competing with the other pieces in your wardrobe.
