Yves Chareton built the first Hartford shirts in 1979 from old-stock Oxford and Chambray fabric bought from a New York manufacturer, and that vintage American workwear feel is still the brand's whole point. We stock Hartford at Shirley Allum in Shaftesbury, across shirts, jackets and easy separates.
European tailoring meets a relaxed West Coast attitude, reworking American wardrobe classics rather than copying them outright.
The brand moved from the US back to Paris to develop the collections further, and has kept that transatlantic mix at its core for over forty years since.
A Hartford shirt works equally well tucked in for smart-casual or thrown on loose over jeans.
See the current range at the Shaftesbury boutique, or shop Hartford online.
