Scotch & Soda is an Amsterdam-founded label known for eclectic, detail-heavy casualwear. After filing for bankruptcy in March 2023 it was acquired by US brand-management firm Bluestar Alliance, which now runs it as a licensing operation; its European arm filed for bankruptcy again in June 2024, closing stores across five countries. The brand continues to sell in the US and online, though product direction has shifted under the new ownership.

Does Scotch & Soda run big or small?

Scotch & Soda fits slightly small. Most shoppers do best sizing up one, especially in shirts, knitwear and anything worn over a layer. Scotch & Soda has long been described as cutting slim in a continental European way, so garments tend to feel about half to a full size smaller than comparable US or UK brands, though consistency has reportedly become less reliable since the ownership change.
