About Gant
Preppy isn’t a trend that comes and goes — Gant simply never let it go. The story began in 1949, when Ukrainian immigrant Bernard Gantmacher put his name on a shirt in New Haven, Connecticut. Gant became the shirtmaker of the Ivy League: the button-down with a locker loop and box pleat became standard on campuses such as Yale. Later, the brand took its American college DNA to Sweden, where it is now headquartered, and grew into a complete lifestyle label with clothing, accessories and shoes. The same nautical-preppy style carries through to its sneakers and smart shoes: clean, timeless and built for the long term rather than the next hype. The selection is broad and every webshop sets its own prices, so the same Gant model can vary considerably from one shop to another. At Solezilla, you can compare the selection and secure your size at the best price.
