NN07 at Peggs & son., Clothing Without Borders

NN07 has been making clothing without borders since 2007. Founded in Copenhagen by Victor Lindh and Ulrik Pedersen, the brand was built on the idea that personality matters more than nationality. It all started with a trip to Tokyo where the two friends flew out shortly after founding the brand. They were searching for inspiration without a fixed destination, and that outward looking approach has shaped every collection since. From their very first product, the Simon 1000 Chino, NN07 has created progressive, versatile men's clothing and we've loved being part of that journey here at Peggs & son.
We first discovered NN07 while placing our orders during fashion week and instantly understood why they'd become a favourite amongst those in the know. We've been stocking them ever since, watching the brand grow from a Scandinavian favourite into a genuinely global label, with flagship stores in Copenhagen, Paris, New York and London. The Gael Jacket has become one of those pieces customers come back for again and again, and the quality and attention to detail across their range is second to none.
What really sets NN07 apart is their commitment to timeless design. Every piece is created with longevity in mind, designed to work across seasons and styles. Whether it's their signature tailoring, their knitwear, or their accessories, there's a considered approach to every detail. The brand's Scandinavian roots are evident in the clean lines and understated elegance that runs through their collections.
We're proud to stock NN07 here at Peggs & son, and we think you'll understand why once you experience the quality and versatility of their pieces. From the everyday essentials to the statement pieces, NN07 offers something for everyone who appreciates quality menswear.
“NN07 create huge collections - we pick the perfect edit." - Ian, Peggs & son.



Essential NN07: The Pieces That Define the Brand
NN07’s appeal lies in its versatility, attention to detail, and understated style. Across shirting, knitwear, trousers, and outerwear, every piece balances quality fabrics with everyday wearability. Here’s a guide to some of our favourites arriving for the season.

NN07 Shirts
NN07 shirts are clean, tailored, and designed to work in multiple contexts. The NN07 Deon, available in Desert Khaki, Sea Spray, and Blue Quartz, is a classic long sleeve with subtle detailing. The NN07 Enzo, in Clay Stripe and Oat Stripe, is relaxed yet sharp, with lightweight fabrics ideal for layering or summer days. The NN07 Freddy Overshirt sits perfectly between shirt and jacket and is probably the piece we recommend most to customers new to the brand. And finally the NN07 Colby is a button down style with understated character.

NN07 Trousers & Shorts
NN07 craft trousers and shorts that combine clean tailoring with casual wearability. The NN07 Kay are a super relaxed pair of straight leg trousers that can be dressed up or down. The NN07 Bill Chino is a firm shop favourite and has been for many years, we love the regular fit with a slight taper, and it's usually the first trouser we point people toward. The colourways span the working week and the weekend, and it holds its shape well. If you are after relaxed, easy summer shorts then look no further than the NN07 Holiday and NN07 Gregor shorts.

NN07 Outerwear & Mid Layers
Functional pieces with refined proportions and considered details, ideal for layering or standalone wear. The NN07 Virgil Zip is a mid layer with just enough structure to wear on its own, and slim enough to layer cleanly under the NN07 Gael or NN07 Blake Coat when the temperature drops. The NN07 Reed is a soft, comfortable mid layer that balances warmth with mobility. Finally, the NN07 Petrus is a lightweight outerwear piece with classic NN07 clean lines, perfect for transitional weather.
Clothing Without Borders: Understanding NN07’s “No Nationality” Philosophy
NN07 was founded on the simple but powerful idea that style should reflect personality, not geography. NN07 stands for No Nationality 2007 - and “No Nationality” isn’t just a tagline, it’s a way of thinking about clothing that crosses borders and transcends fashion clichés. It's a philosophy we've always found easy to get behind here at Peggs & son.
The philosophy is clear: clothes should work everywhere, from Copenhagen to New York, Tokyo to London, or right here in Brighton. You won’t find rigid Scandinavian minimalism, instead NN07 mixes global influences, from Japanese tailoring precision to American workwear practicality, creating pieces that feel modern and versatile.
This approach shapes everything the brand does. Cuts are thoughtful, details are subtle, and fabrics are chosen for durability and wearability. It’s about creating wardrobe staples that are adaptable to different climates, lifestyles, and personal styles.
In practice, this means a shirt that layers seamlessly under a sweater, an overshirt that doubles as a lightweight jacket, or a pair of chinos that work in the office and on weekends. Every item reflects NN07’s commitment to functionality, quality, and individuality.



“The Danish have a very particular design language which resonates with us here at Peggs & son. The clean lines and functionality are a great fit for the British lifestyle” - Ian, Peggs & son.
Understanding NN07 Fabrics & Materials
NN07 is meticulous about what goes into each garment, with fabrics and materials chosen for longevity, comfort, and sustainability. Whether it's the crisp cotton of a Bill Trouser, the soft merino in a Ted Knit, or the structured wool of a Gael Jacket, the fabrics are chosen to perform, age well, and feel effortless in daily wear.

NN07 Italian Fabrics
Most NN07 pieces use premium Italian fabrics, chosen for durability, hand-feel, and consistent colour. Italian mills have a long tradition of producing cloth that improves with wear rather than deteriorating and you notice it most in pieces like the Gael Jacket, where the yarn-dyed wool develops character over time. It's one of the reasons NN07 clothing holds its value and its shape in a way that cheaper alternatives don't.

NN07 Natural Materials
Cotton, linen, merino wool, and cashmere form the backbone of the NN07 collection, prioritising breathability, softness, and environmental responsibility. The merino wool in the Ted Knit is noticeably softer than synthetic alternatives at the same price point. Linen pieces are chosen for weight and drape rather than just thread count. Nothing in the collection relies on synthetics where a natural fibre will do the job better.

NN07 Sustainable Practices
NN07 sources fabrics and works with manufacturing partners in Europe, primarily Italy and Portugal, who share their focus on ethical production and reducing environmental impact. The brand has committed to eliminating single-use plastics from packaging and is working toward net-zero emissions by 2050. For a brand built on making clothes that last, sustainability isn't a bolt-on, it's built into how they source and manufacture from the start.

The Gael Jacket & The Bear: A Cultural Moment Without the Hype
In 2022, NN07 gained a wider spotlight when Jeremy Allen White wore the NN07 Gael Jacket, in brown check, in Season 1 of The Bear. Searches for the jacket skyrocketed overnight, and we noticed the shift in demand almost immediately with customers coming in asking for it by name who had never heard of NN07 before.
While the media attention was significant, the jacket's appeal comes from much more than a TV appearance. The Gael embodies NN07's philosophy, with functional patch pockets, a slightly boxy fit and rugged, tactile fabric that works across seasons and outfits. On fit, we find it runs true to size for most, but if you're planning to layer knitwear underneath, it's worth sizing up, especially if you are between sizes.
The Gael is a perfect example of how NN07 combines style and substance, a jacket that’s as wearable in your local streets as it is on screen. We like to think of it as a gateway piece. People discover NN07 through the Gael, then explore a broader wardrobe built around the brand’s quality fabrics, considered cuts, and versatility.
In short, The Bear introduced more people to NN07, but the brand’s depth, thoughtful design, and everyday wearability have been building since 2007 and will continue long after the spotlight moves on.
How to Wear NN07: Building Your Everyday Wardrobe
NN07 pieces are designed to mix, match, and layer, giving you a wardrobe that works from Monday to Sunday. Here’s how we style some of the key pieces:

NN07 Smart-Casual Office
Pair the NN07 Bill Chino with a Ted Knit and clean sneakers for a polished but relaxed look. The taper on the Bill keeps it smart without feeling formal, and the Ted's fine-gauge knit sits neatly underneath a jacket if the day requires it. Add an NN07 Freddy Overshirt as a lightweight layer if needed.

NN07 Weekend Relaxed
Throw on an NN07 Freddy Overshirt over a t-shirt and a pair of NN07 Gregor Shorts or Kay Trousers for an easy weekend look. The Freddy does the heavy lifting here as it adds enough structure to look considered without any effort.

NN07 Layered Autumn
An NN07 Gael Jacket over your knitwear or shirt creates warmth without bulk and maintains clean lines. The slightly boxy fit gives you enough room to layer comfortably underneath without the jacket losing its shape.

NN07 Winter Smart
For colder days, an NN07 Blake Coat over tailored trousers and knitwear balances practicality with elegance. The Blake's clean proportions work over almost anything underneath. Keep it simple and let the coat do the work.

NN07 Winter Smart
NN07 Enzo Shirts and Bill Chinos are perfect for mild temperatures, letting you move comfortably from work to weekends. Linen at this weight doesn't crease badly enough to matter and breathes well enough to carry you through warmer office days.
