B.D. BAGGIES

B.D. Baggies has a unique origin that seems almost fated. In 1919, the brand's founder, Bradford Dexter Bagg, was a young university student when he was rummaging through the closets at home and found a real treasure chest: a trunk full of his father's old shirts. Made according to the Made in USA tradition, they were rigorous, elegant, and durable, but over time they had taken on a lived-in look. The fabric was softer, the silhouette was more flexible, and the texture was denser, in full contrast to the rigid costume of the time. Worn by Bradford, thanks to their lived-in look, combined with the innate coolness typical of someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, the shirts immediately won over all of Bradford's friends and classmates. The affectionate nickname they were given, B.D. Baggies, which is a play on the word "baggy" and Bradford's last name, immediately became synonymous with a style that has never gone out of fashion.

Among the most famous garments from B.D. Baggies, the Bradford shirt is undoubtedly the iconic model par excellence, with its typical used look that takes its name from the brand's founder, Bradford Dexter Bagg. The Bradford celebrates American tradition of robustness and solidity, with the classic button-down collar and chest pocket, a model that is suitable for both a sports jacket and a formal suit. As in the beginning, the Bradford is still packaged in the classic laundry bag that can be reused for various purposes. This model is available in a variety of fabrics, from the original Oxford to Pin Point, to linen.
