Frederick Lukoff, chief executive at Scotch & Soda, said in a statement: “We are thrilled to announce our long-term partnership with Stichd. We are certain that the new Scotch & Soda bodywear lines will deliver high-quality product that will stand out in a particularly competitive market thanks to their extensive expertise and customer-oriented focus.
“As a strategic partner tailoring to our needs and our brand’s specific DNA inspired by the free spirit of Amsterdam, Stichd will provide an exceptional support at design, production and distribution levels. We are looking forward to developing our close collaboration together in the future.”
Stichd will develop a product range that will infuse the Scotch & Soda brand DNA into bodywear and legwear that is inspired by “the free spirit of Amsterdam,” explained Scotch & Soda, while also being in line with its brand identity and offering a “sense of joy, freedom and playfulness through unexpected details and colours with a distinctive design”.
Scotch & Soda partners with Stichd to offer bodywear and legwear collections
Scotch & Soda added that the collections will offer essential styles, as well as seasonal variations, and will target both the “classic dresser and trend-trier”. The men’s underwear line includes 10 styles of underwear including a variety of cotton boxers for everyday dressing that features monochromatic variations in both dark and light colours with contrasting accent tones used in the waistband, displaying the brand’s logo. In addition, seasonal styles play with bright colours, geometric or abstract patterns, and floral prints.
The legwear line will include crew socks, ankle socks and no-show silhouettes, in both core range and seasonal variations, and feature a signature dip toe design and surprise ‘Have a nice day’ message detail inside the welt.
All socks and underwear designed for Scotch & Soda will feature organically grown cotton and waistbands that contain recycled materials.

Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships, and collaboration, and with our rich Dutch heritage that connects us, we aim in collectively redesigning a future filled with optimism.
“We believe Scotch & Soda and Stichd make the perfect pair and as a leader in the industry are excited to expand with such an exciting brand and use our years of experience to deliver the best in daring essentials.”
