Sweden's Dunderdon might not have the name recognition of a Carhartt or Dickies, but with a new, larger NYC store, the brand is primed to give Americans a taste of what they've been missing. Its unpretentious, wearable pieces in muted tones, made from twill, corduroy, and raw selvage denim, are hardy enough to earn its "workwear" label but presentable enough that you won't look like your plumber. The shop is twice the size of the label's former home on Lafayette, and is down the street from Opening Ceremony and Ted Muehling. This spring, the trio will be joined by a very unworkmanlike neighbor: Jil Sander.
