Oscar Jacobson is a leading formal men\u2019s wear company with a legacy as suit and jacket supplier to Swedish men. The company primarily sells business and golf clothing to independent retailers and through own stores. Oscar Jacobson has strong relationships with independent retailers and is appreciated for market leading service and expedient sales supporting logistics.

\u201dI am pleased to welcome Valedo as new majority owner of Oscar Jacobson and I am enthusiastic about Valedo\u2019s ambition to develop and expand the company long term. It is valuable for Oscar Jacobson to get a growth oriented owner with experience of taking companies to the next level. Alongside Valedo, I will remain a minority owner and will, in my current function, continue to develop the company.\u201d says Magnus Bengtsson, CEO of Oscar Jacobson AB and one of the vendors.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201dWith Oscar Jacobson\u2019s strong brand as platform we see attractive long-term opportunities to strengthen and elevate the collection and market position with additional resources.
