Dehen 1920 Varsity Cardigan, featured in Made Collection’s “Ivy League” sale
In 1920, German immigrant William Dehen started a knitting company in Portland, Oregon. Business boomed, thanks to a steady demand for their stylish, durable school sweaters and work apparel. Although they’ve been hit with every major historical event in the last century (the Great Depression, WWII, fashion fads), Dehen 1920 has persevered, continuing to make distinctive varsity and athletic-style wool goods on knitting machines that are often older than the people who operate them.
