A look at the material reveals it: a real piece of workwear was the inspiration for the design - or rather, the construction - of these characterful trousers. The heavy corduroy fabric comes from the Kindermann weaving mill, a traditional company specializing in fabrics for workwear and technical textiles. The waistband of the trousers is cut slightly higher and the leg is slightly tapered, tapering slightly towards the bottom. The distinctive belt loops are wide, so they are also (and preferably) suitable for correspondingly wide belts. Side pockets with classic pocket openings, a small coin pocket at the front and set-in piped back pockets hold small items for everyday use.

Künzelsau in Hohenlohe was once a jeans hub until a major player in the industry ceased production there. Four friends—Christian Hampel, Guido Wetzels, Peter Bättig, and Gerd Walz—have revived this tradition. In 2013, they founded the Blaumann jeans manufacturer with the goal of producing durable goods rather than chasing fleeting trends. What began with pants has since expanded to include shirts and vests—and classic fabrics like corduroy have joined the denim lineup.

However, compromising on materials is still out of the question at Blaumann. The fabrics—genuine Japanese denim and corduroy from a specialized German mill—meet the highest standards. Components such as threads, buttons, and leather labels also come from Germany. The craftsmanship is beyond reproach as well. The result is clothing full of character that, through daily movement, wear, and use, evolves into deeply personal companions.
