About
Dehen Knitting Company, founded in 1920 by William Peter Dehen, is a family business based in Portland, Oregon. With a rich history in producing classic and traditional U.S. heavyweight apparel, Dehen is known for their long-lasting quality, workmanship, and rugged styling. Initially starting with varsity and collegiate sweaters, they later expanded to supplying local motorcycle clubs with riding sweaters and eventually added the iconic Varsity Jacket to their repertoire. Today, Dehen continues to manufacture their goods in Portland, and their Dehen 1920 line combines the best of their past with a vision for the future, offering “Heavy Duty, Old School Truth.”
