seafarer

Founded in 1896 by Italian immigrant Tony Anzalone near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Seafarer began as a dedicated supplier of durable denim uniforms for the U.S. Navy. The functional bell-bottom trousers, designed for sailors, unexpectedly became a symbol of counter-culture and effortless style in the 1960s and '70s. Adopted by fashion icons like Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, the jeans were elevated from military surplus to a cult fashion item, cementing their place in style history.
