What to know about Danton
French heritage, Japanese ownership
Founded in 1935 in Châtres-sur-Cher making overalls and chore coats for French laborers, the label is now designed and run from Osaka by Boy's Co.
Workwear shapes, everyday weight
Chore coats, cook's jackets, collarless down jackets and sweatshirts are cut in lightweight fabrics and muted colors rather than heavy-duty utility cloth.
The diamond patch is the signal
A red-and-white diamond logo patch runs across the unisex range, which reaches shoppers through END., BEAMS and Japanese and European select shops.
