Revived in 2010 by Fabian Jedlitschka and his wife Anna Schäfer, Pike Brothers is a heritage workwear brand currently based in Bad Feilnbach, Bavaria, Germany. The brand's roots trace back to 1930 in London, where George and Joseph Pike ran a tailoring shop that eventually produced uniforms for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. After discovering an original Pike Brothers military garment, Jedlitschka resurrected the defunct label. The modern brand's philosophy centers on uncompromising authenticity, meticulously recreating early-to-mid 20th-century outdoor, military, and workwear apparel where form strictly follows function.To achieve genuine vintage accuracy,
Pike Brothers utilizes traditional, labor-intensive construction methods and era-accurate machinery. They source heavy-duty materials, most notably their signature custom-woven 11oz selvedge denim, which is tightly woven on vintage shuttle looms and treated with a special combination of starch and wax to maximize durability. Other robust fabrics include pure virgin wool, heavy flannels, and rugged suedes. Construction details closely mirror the originals, featuring period-correct fits, sturdy rivets, and heavy-duty stitching. In terms of manufacturing, Pike Brothers garments are produced by small, traditional, family-run factories located in Europe, primarily in Portugal and Turkey.
