Dehen 1920 is “Heavy Duty, Old School Truth.” Founded in 1920 by William Peter Dehen, they remain family-owned and committed to making long-lasting, quality, rugged clothing in Portland, Oregon. Known especially for the knitwear made from pure virgin wool, they produce in slow, deliberate cycles befitting the quality and longevity of the product. The style is distinctly American from their years of producing collegiate sweaters and varsity jackets for young men lucky enough to letter in their sports.

As one of the business's early roadside signs said, "The Dehen Label Is Your Knitwear Guarantee."
