The unbuttoned slip shirt, which is simply pulled over the head to put on and take off, has long been a casual wardrobe classic. Blaumann makes it in a version that can be seen and felt. The yarns are spun from extra long staple Egyptian cotton. They are correspondingly smooth and soft to the touch, a quality that is also reflected in the fabric woven from them, which is appropriately strong but also kind to the skin. Like jeans, it is woven in a twill weave. The stripe pattern is created by alternating white warp yarns and warp yarns dyed with real indigo. The weft yarns are white - again like a classic trouser denim. The shirt is equipped with narrow stand-up collar, patch chest pocket and double-buttoned cuffs.

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.
