Berg & Berg

Owners report being happy with the fabric of these tees, describing it as a bit thicker than expected, with a neck that sits higher than a typical crew. One owner who usually wears a 46-48 found a size S fit well without being too slim. Durability reports are mixed: one buyer said his t-shirt looked like it had been washed a hundred times after the first wash. An editorial profile of the brand notes it deliberately produces at a slightly lower quality level in the name of value for money.

Strengths

Owners report a thicker-than-expected fabric and a higher neckline that holds its shape as the line's main draws.

Watch out for

Finish after washing is the recurring complaint — one owner reported a tee that looked heavily faded and worn after a single wash.

Sizing

One owner who normally wears a 46-48 reported that a size S fit well without being too slim, so most buyers can take their usual alpha size.

Our Berg & Berg t-shirts pick: Berg & Berg Cotton Jersey Tee →

The brand's designer has said openly that it aims for a balance of quality and price rather than the best possible product, and reviews track that positioning. An editorial reviewer found the shirt good enough to keep wearing on quality alone, and readers single out the high, rolling collars with good structure and neat finishing on Italian-made shirting. Forum owners note items run a bit small and advise ordering a size up, and some question paying full retail given the brand's frequent high-percentage sales.

Strengths

The shirts' collars draw the most consistent praise — high, structured, and rolling — along with neat finishing and good fabrics for the price.

Watch out for

Owners report the cut runs a bit small, frequent deep sales make full retail hard to judge, and return shipping to Sweden is expensive enough that some buyers hesitate to order.

Sizing

Forum owners report items run a bit small and slim, with repeated advice to order a size up.

Owners on menswear forums describe Berg & Berg trousers as well made for the money, with tailoring details like curtained split waistbands and unfinished hems left long for alteration. Fit is the recurring theme: reviewers report the cuts run slim, and one editorial reviewer measured a leg opening tapered to 7.5 inches and called it too slim to wear. Longtime Styleforum buyers call the pleated dress trouser fit excellent and reorder multiple pairs, while a Permanent Style reviewer found the cords a miss on material and fit.

Strengths

Reviewers consistently rate the construction details and Italian make as strong for the mid-tier price, with several forum regulars reporting no quality complaints across multiple pairs.

Watch out for

Slim thighs and narrow leg openings draw the most complaints, and the European sizing runs small for many buyers, so fit misses are the most commonly reported problem.

Sizing

Sizes run slim and small; forum buyers commonly go up one size from their usual European size, and those with bigger thighs or calves report snugness in the standard cuts.

Owners describe Berg & Berg outerwear as strong on cut and lighter on construction — the brand itself told Permanent Style it aims for a middle ground between quality and price rather than the best possible make. A long-form owner review of the raglan coat found the Shetland wool dense and hard-wearing but the coat thinner than expected, with loose threads, wool that needed a pilling remover before first wear, and outer pockets made of lining fabric. Styleforum posters echo the value complaint, calling the pricing too steep for the level of quality provided.

Strengths

Reviewers consistently praise the cut and styling — roomy raglan silhouettes that layer easily over knitwear or tailoring — and keep the coats for that reason despite finishing gripes.

Watch out for

Finishing fails inspection first — owners report loose threads, wool needing a pilling remover out of the box, and lining-fabric outer pockets they worry will wear through — and several call the price steep for the make.

Sizing

Reviewers note the raglan coats are cut deliberately loose so they fit over thick knitwear or a tailored jacket without sizing up.

The knitted polos get detailed positive coverage: a Put This On reviewer called the knit exceptionally soft and silky, far nicer than common mall pique, and noted it washes and hang-dries with almost no ironing. The brand's positioning is openly mid-tier — the founder told Permanent Style they aim for a sweet spot between quality and price rather than the best possible product. Durability reports are mixed: one customer review describes a merino polo developing holes after only one or two wears, so the fine knits deserve gentle handling and an early inspection.

Strengths

Reviewers praise the soft, silky feel of the knitted polos and their easy care — wash, hang dry, minimal ironing — at a deliberately mid-tier price.

Watch out for

Fine merino knits are the reported failure point, with one customer reporting holes after a wear or two, and the trim cut plus unusually long sleeves catch first-time buyers out.

Sizing

Reviewers say these knits run very trim with unusually long sleeves — double-check the measurements and consider sizing up.
