Victorinox

In 1884 a young cutler by the name of Karl Elsener formed his own business in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland. Within 7 years his business were supplying the Swiss Army with soldiers' knives for the first time. In order to make them stand out from copies, he soon introduced the now world famous cross and shield emblem onto the products. The company got its full name of 'Victorinox' in 1921 when Elsener decided to combine his mother's name of 'Victoria' and the name for Stainless Steel which was also known as 'Inox'. In 1989 the company expanded its range outside of Swiss Army knives into watches. In 1999 they expanded even further into high quality luggage. In 2001 a clothing collection was developed for the North American market.

Victorinox clothing only came into the Football Casual consciousness in recent years. The ethos of high quality finish, functional design and clean lines appeal to those looking for a clinical style. Some casuals have gone as far to suggest that Victorinox has every chance of toppling Stone Island as the most definitive Casual brand, but only time can tell if the brand's attraction will be a mainstay. We recommend jackets, knitwear and polos.
