Knickerbocker Jobs

Knickerbocker is a New York-based brand founded in 2013 by Andrew Livingston. The company began as a manufacturing entity on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, acquiring the facilities of the 60-year-old Watman Headwear Corp. This acquisition allowed Knickerbocker to produce its own label alongside manufacturing for other companies.

The brand's philosophy centers on a deep appreciation for people and processes, emphasizing tradition, utility, and purpose in its designs.

Product Line

Knickerbocker's product line reflects a fusion of classic American style with elements of art, music, and sports. The collection includes knitwear, jackets, shirts, sweatshirts, tees, pants, and other apparel items.

The brand is committed to transparency and sustainability, striving to operate in a manner that is responsible to consumers, the environment, and the industry.

Most products are made in Portugal, with some exceptions such as watch caps produced in the United States and alpaca sweaters made in Peru. Fabrics are sourced from Japan and Europe.

Manufacturing partners hold certifications from BCI, EcoVero, GOTS, GRS by Textile Exchange, OCS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and REACH.

Flagship Store and Team

In 2021, Knickerbocker opened its flagship store at the corner of Canal and Wooster Street in Soho, Manhattan.

The team consists of founder Andrew Livingston, his wife Maxine, a production manager, production partners in Portugal, and store staff.

The brand has been recognized by publications such as GQ, Hypebeast, and The Wall Street Journal for its blend of heritage-inspired design with modern sensibility.
