About us

Fine clothing & good times since 1942

Garodkin is a menswear destination in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, founded on a simple principle: that great clothing should be both timeless and personal.

We work with a carefully selected group of European makers who share our commitment to quality, craft, and heritage. Each brand in our collection has been chosen for its dedication to materials, construction, and the kind of quiet elegance that speaks for itself.

Our store on Gammel Kongevej is more than a shop. It is a space for conversation, discovery, and the pleasure of dressing well. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of fine menswear, you are welcome here.
