Resterods is somewhat of a Swedish icon and the latest collection sees a continuation of the sharp tailoring for which the label is known.

The AW 09 collection is a blend of the American working class hero and the French bohemian activist of the late sixties (and classic Swedish style of course). The collection encourages the wearer to walk the walk, talk the talk, engage and participate.

The collection presents a rugged look with heavier textures and soft washed surfaces for that nice walked in vintage feel. The signature pieces are the padded biker jackets in treated black and brown leather. Ok so we know it’s not exactly jacket weather right now but these are the pieces you want to snap up and stash away for the colder months.

Summer attire has not been neglected, there are classic slim-cut striped tees for the boys and zip-up dresses for the girls as well as a whole host of other goodies.

We are proud to introduce a piece of Swedish industrial history to Sydney – step up Resteröds. The knitting machines in the Resteröds Trikåfabrik (fabric factory) are more than 70 years old and still in use. The low knitting tempo of these machines creates a higher quality fabric with a texture reminiscent of the old days. I remember watching my grandpa chopping wood during my summer holidays in Sweden. He would wear a sun bleached white basic singlet from Resteröds. A classic for all time.
