The Quartermaster

The Quartermaster is a project of two friends who have known each other for over ten years. In 2017 we began to join our paths thinking and producing garments that could tell our passion for vintage, especially military and workwear, and for quality clothing. From the beginning our goal has been to produce a collection strongly inspired by the war productions of the past and the iconic garments of the great industry of the last century. We are fortunate to be able to draw on our archive which boasts more than 1000 items including jackets, shirts, trousers and vests.

To be able to build our perfect wardrobe over time, we started a long journey through our incredible country with passion and dedication. Ours is a continuous research of historical textile factories that for decades have invested in quality and tradition and of laboratories specialized in quality packaging. For winter garments we use local fabrics because our city, Prato, can still boast a splendid active district with many companies that still produce regenerated wool, characterized by high resistance and peculiar technical characteristics. For the summer garments, however, we fell in love with the magnificent cottons and indestructible Lombard fabrics that can be found in the now rare companies located for more than two centuries along the Olona river. We also use fabrics from abroad, such as Scottish oilcloths or Japanese shirt cottons, only when companies guarantee high quality standards. Ours is a small family-run artisan company and this is the dimension we want to defend and preserve. We escape without compromise the rules of the fashion system that we now consider immoral, unjust and harmful. We are increasingly moving towards a proposal of 100% Made in Tuscany garments, presented right now with an ad hoc label. This allows us to authentically tell the place where we live and work and to create products with a very low impact on our planet. Whoever buys a The Quartermaster garment, be it a jacket, a shirt or a sweatshirt, is aware of choosing an object that lasts over time and does not follow the trend of the seasons. We are happy with what we do, proud of where we come from and jealous of all the people we work with. Wholesale E: info@thequartermaster.it Photo credit: The Quartermaster
