Corridor footprint

A Day’s March was started in Stockholm in 2014 by Marcus Gårdö, Pelle Lundquist and Stefan Pagréus, three founders who, in the brand’s own telling, left their day jobs to build a label around wardrobe staples — overshirts, chinos, knitwear, tailoring — sold primarily through its own stores and online. The name is an old military term for the distance an army can move in a single day.

Portugal is where most of it is made. The company’s About page states that it produces more than 70% of its clothes in Portugal with local fabrics and materials, in family-owned textile factories north of Porto, which it presents as both a quality guarantee and a more sustainable way of producing. The brand does not publish a factory list, so individual suppliers are not named; the statement itself, on the company’s own site, is the verifiable footprint recorded here (checked 13 September 2026).

Why this matters for the corridor

A Day’s March belongs to the group of Swedish direct-to-consumer labels — alongside names such as CDLP, Our Legacy and Axel Arigato — that have made the Porto-Braga-Guimarães textile belt their default production base. Together they are the demand side of one of the corridor’s quietest but most durable flows: Swedish design, Portuguese making.
