This shirt is made from a weighty, soft cotton flannel. Matching the striking feel, it features a colorful blue and white check pattern with a clearly visible twill ridge in parts. The shirt fastens with copper-colored metal press studs, while two chest pockets with buttoned flaps, true to the pattern, can be used to store 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.
