In terms of style, this is a classic work shirt. Accordingly, Blaumann crafts it from a sturdy, heavy fabric with a textured feel. The 12-oz fabric features a yarn-dyed (and thus woven-in) indigo check pattern, which fades slightly over time and becomes lighter—as is typical of genuine indigo. The cut is straight, without back darts. The pattern-true, patch-style buttoned flap pockets hold small everyday items. All buttons—on the placket, cuffs, and pockets—are copper-colored metal snap buttons. Please note that the shirt runs large and will shrink to a perfect fit after the first wash. So if it feels a little too loose when you try it on and the sleeves are a bit too long, it will fit just right after washing.

Künzelsau in Hohenlohe was once a jeans stronghold until a major player in the industry ceased production there. Four friends, Christian Hampel, Guido Wetzels, Peter Bättig and Gerd Walz, have taken up this tradition again. In 2013, they founded the jeans manufacturer Blaumann, with the claim not to chase short-lived trends, but to produce durable goods. What began with pants has since been expanded to include shirts and vests - and denim has been joined by material classics like corduroy.

Compromising on materials, however, is still not an issue at Blaumann. The fabrics - genuine Japan denim and corduroy from a special German weaving mill - stand up to the highest demands. Ingredients such as yarns, buttons and leather labels also come from Germany. The workmanship is also beyond reproach. This is how garments full of character are created, which they develop into very personal companions through daily movement, wear and tear.
