The striking outer fabric of this blouson is a robust, milled coat cloth, more precisely: an original Bavarian loden with a mélange effect typical of the material. It is made from pure new wool from certified organic animal husbandry and is both warming and pleasantly air-conditioning. The lining is a skin-friendly cotton fabric. Two patch flap pockets at the front and an inside pocket with outer fabric piping can hold small items for everyday use. The cuffs are buttoned and buttoned tabs at the hem allow for moderate width adjustment. Dividing seams at the back give the jacket shape.

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.
