What to know about Those That Know
A microstore, not a design label
Nothing here is designed in-house — it's a small UK online shop curating heritage menswear from independent makers and shipping worldwide.
Japanese repro brands do the work
The roster leans on Japanese specialists like Loop & Weft, The Strike Gold, RoToTo, PRAS, Papa Nui and The Rite Stuff, which sets the med-high pricing.
Workwear, military, mid-century sportswear
The assortment sticks to that vocabulary: selvedge denim and denim jackets, chinos, aloha shirts, knit socks, caps and eyewear, plus Lightning and AVANT magazines.
