We're two guys living in Bergen, Norway, who are seriously into denim, good design, and making stuff that's built to last with no compromises! Bergen Denim isn't just about clothes for us. It's about making something real, something that gets you stoked, and something that adds a little something extra to our lives and yours.
We come from a pretty outdoorsy background here in Norway, think motorcycles, ATVs, fishing trips, hunting, getting out in the wild, our dogs, always tinkering with DIY stuff, you name it! We've basically built Bergen Denim to fit the kind of life we live and love. We're those guys who need gear that can handle anything we throw at it, and our denim is exactly that.
Our designs mix the toughness of old school workwear with the awesome quality of Japanese craftsmanship and a bit of that classic Norwegian feel. So whether you're tearing up the mountains or just cruising around town, our clothes are made to move with you and stick around for the long haul.
For us at Bergen Denim, it's about more than just making clothes, we're making tools for life.

Basically, we wanted to make cool stuff that makes everyday life a little bit better, both for us making it and for you wearing it. Starting Bergen Denim was all about doing our own thing, getting creative, and really caring about making things well and doing it sustainably. We want to design clothes that don't just fall apart after a season, help cut down on all that buying more stuff craziness, and make your day to day feel a bit more special.
We were super inspired by how amazing Japanese denim is made, and we're mixing that with our own Norwegian vibe. Think using awesome materials like that tough busserull fabric, wild sheep leather, deerskin, and vadmel, alongside the best denim out there. We're all about creating timeless pieces for people who appreciate quality, style that lasts, and clothes that actually work.

Core Values

 Work Hard, Play Harder: We make clothes that can handle anything you throw at 'em, whether you're crushing it at work or hitting the trails (or the bar!). They look good doing both.
  Elevate your Everyday: We believe even your everyday stuff should be top-notch. Think classic style, seriously good quality, and feeling super comfy all day long.
 Do the Right Thing: We care about people, the planet, and not being wasteful with resources. It's just the right way to do things.

How We Roll
 No Cutting Corners: We're kinda obsessed with making things really well. Like, down to every single stitch and piece of fabric.
 Planet First: We're all about clothes that last ages, ditching plastic, and trying to keep things local with our production whenever we can.
 You Talk, We Listen: We actually build our clothes with you in mind! Your feedback is like gold to us.
 Keep it Simple, Get Creative: We're into buying less stuff so you can go do more cool things. Our clothes are made for a life that's always moving.

 

We started Bergen Denim because we wanted to create something that truly matters, for us, for our customers, and for the future. Together, we can make “roughwear” a lifestyle that holds real meaning.
