History

1932 – Future

At Mustang, we don’t simply sew jeans – we weave stories too. Stories of Heinrich and Luise, and of Albert and Heiner. Stories of daring deals and sizable sales – of orders that grew from 300 to 23,000 per day. Stories that began in Künzelsau, Germany and spread throughout the world.

1948

Albert Sefranek marries Luise Hermann’s daughter and trades six bottles of regionally distilled schnapps for six pairs of original “Yankee” jeans, laying the cornerstone for a German success story in the denim business: they started producing jeans by using the pattern of the traded denims. That made Mustang become a pioneer in Denim manufacturing in Europe.

1958

Inspired by the popular “American Way of Life” at that time, the brand name Mustang is registered and internationally patented. It symbolizes the freedom of the Wild West and presents itself with a corresponding company logo featuring a wild horse designed after a Mustang.

1974

Heiner Sefranek joins the company in the third generation of owners. With his remarkable brand and market acumen, he transforms Mustang into an internationally recognized denim brand.

1997

15 wild Mustangs and Crow Westerman (Native American famous for his role in “Dances with Wolves”) are the protagonists in the international TV and cinema commercial “Moondance”. Director Erich Ifergan spectacularly presents the wild horses galloping through downtown Los Angeles.

2015
