Material selection is a crucial step in our design process. Sustainability  is essential for us. Can the substance we want to use be reused? Are there organic substances that we can use? We also use the right materials to ensure that our shirts are as sturdy as possible and therefore last a long time. We test the materials for pilling. We even have our own device for that. After all, we find it very important to deliver the best quality.

FROM DESIGN TO PROTOTYPE

Once this basic information is known, the shirt is designed. Colours, composition of the cloth and construction of the shirt are determined. A work description is also formulated. This also includes a technical step-by-step plan for the manufacturer, who will then make a first prototype. We tinker with that a bit and then have the brand new shirt tested by different professionals with different clothing sizes. When everything is to the satisfaction of the craftsman and the professional, we start production! A little later you will see the new shirt appear in our catalogue, on our webshop and at our dealer.
