Jacob Cohen shorts are exclusive shorts of high quality denim. The brand is known for its luxury clothing, especially the iconic Jacob Cohen jeans known by many people. All Jacob Cohen clothing are made by hand in Italy, including the shorts.
Founder Tito Bardelli could not find suitable jeans that he could wear for formal moments and feel comfortably at the same time. For that reason he went looking for the ideal jeans for him; fashionable, comfortable and a luxurious look. Bardelli ended up with Kurabo denim from Japan. This is a fabric that uses denim stretch. This makes the Jacob Cohen shorts and jeans comfortable because the fabric adapts to the body. Ultimately, this resulted in a collection of 20 different types of denim with different colors and ‘washing’.
The birth of Jacob Cohën
As you can probably guess, the name of the brand refers to a person. Jacob Cohën, the name giver of the brand, was an Italian tailor from the Veneto region. Best known place in this region is Venice. The brand was not founded by Jacob Cohën himself, but by Tito Bardelli in 1985, when Jacob Cohën had already died. Son Nicola Bardelli took over from his father Tito in 2003 which resulted in a massive grow. Thanks to Nicola’s creative entrepreneurial brain, the brand is now available in more than 40 countries around the world.
In 2012, the Jacob Cohën brand was initially hit hard when owner Nicola died suddenly. His wife Jennifer, who had been with the company from the beginning, took on the duties of creative director and built on the ideals of her husband Nicola.
