The striking and contrasting herringbone fabric for these pants is sourced by Blaumann from a Japanese weaving mill. The cut is also fitting for the pithy material: its model is a classic 5-pocket style work trouser with an additional hammer loop. The pants are closed by means of button placket and button and it is equipped with belt loops and suspenders buttons.

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.

The garment may rub off onto light-coloured materials such as other garments, furniture and upholstery fabrics.
