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 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.
