About Jacob Cohen
The Italian brand Jacob Cohen, founded in 1985 in the town of Ponte Longo, Veneto, today holds a leading position in the European denim industry. Tato Bardelle, the creator of successful brands such as Americanino, Kinghino, and Outsider, was behind the creation of the brand. His denim products have always been renowned for their high quality and excellent durability, but they remained “workwear.”
A special turning point for the Jacob Cohen brand occurred in 2003 when Tato Bardelle’s son, Nicola Bardelle, joined the company. He became the ideological inspirer and the soul of Jacob Cohen.
The future designer, Nicola Bardelle, spent a lot of time with his father. As a schoolboy, he already worked as an apprentice, inheriting all the qualities and specifics of the Bardelle tailoring style from his father.
However, Nicola didn’t admire the workwear style of the wide, straight-leg jeans his father produced. At that time, skinny jeans appealed to him a lot, and upon joining the company, Nicola immediately introduced the concept of a new style of men’s jeans: neat, luxurious, and modern.
These were the pure Jacob Cohen men’s jeans—elegant, handmade, with a magnificent fit and unique scuffs made with a pumice stone, silver-plated buttons and rivets, and a label featuring the Jacob Cohen logo on pony leather. This was the beginning of high-quality, elite jeans and a new luxury trend among denim brands.
The Jacob Cohen brand still uses the same concept for producing its denim garments as it did to create vintage jeans. This is likely the main reason why it remains one of the most successful denim brands in the world, producing jeans from durable denim.
All Jacob Cohen jeans are made from noble Japanese Kurabo and Mamarato denim, considered among the finest exclusive textiles in the world. Jacob Cohen denim is treated without any chemical intervention and undergoes 45 processing stages, making it environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic.
Due to the use of a specific ancient technology—the denim is stretched on frames—this type of denim obtains its exceptional durability and softness, although the process is labor-intensive and costly.
Jacob Cohen jeans are durable not only due to high-quality materials but also because of a special drum stitching that all brand customers recognize, as well as a special washing process. The washing is done in the brand’s laundries without the use of synthetic agents. As a result, your luxury jeans stay beautiful even after many washes.
The Jacob Cohen brand creates incredibly comfortable, versatile, and stylish jeans, perfect for any occasion and all body types. Each collection includes classic-cut jeans, skinny jeans, vintage jeans, and chinos, as well as jackets, shorts, and other traditional garments.

“I developed my first pair of jeans because I wanted them to be comfortable, but at the same time luxurious and eclectic, suitable even for formal occasions.”
