Manufacturing
A tour to our production in Portugal
Manufacturers
Our ready-to-wear shirts are made in Portugal. We work with specialised partners that have decades of experience in manufacturing men's shirts. They cut, measure and trim our fabrics and tailor our shirts under the highest quality standards. They check, iron, pack your shirts and make them ready for the shippment.
Our shirt manufacturing partners are based in the North of Portugal near Porto. Both are family run and employ around 70 employees each. As it is with many of our suppliers, most of these employees are women.
Our tailor-made shirts and the dress shirts for the Swiss market are made by a shirt-maker in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The company is based in Maglaj and is specialised in manufacturing high-quality dress shirts. The company was founded in 2005 and employs 220 people. It is certified according to the SA8000 social standard.

Weaving Mills
We source our fabrics from the most renowned European weaving mills for shirt fabrics. Our organic cotton fabrics are GOTS certified. No toxic chemicals are applied when dyeing and finishing the fabrics. Amongst others, no formaldehyds are used. Our linen fabrics are made under GOTS or Oeko-Tex standard.
Our main dying and weaving partners are based in the North of Portugal, not far from where our shirts are manufactured. The mills hold long traditions in fabric weaving and employ more than 500 people each. These companies dye yarns, weave and finish our exquisite fabrics according to our specifications and our designs.
Denim and corduroy fabrics require special partners. We source our denim fabrics from a prestigious weaving mill in the North of Italy. Our heavy corduroy fabrics are made by a German weaving mill.
Yarn production
We advise our weaving mills which kind of yarns to use for our fabrics. They buy these yarns from various spinning mills on the market.
Most parts of our organic cotton yarns are traded and spun by a Portuguese spinning mill near Porto or by Turkish spinning mills.
The majority of our linen yarns we use are made from European flax that are also spun in Europe.
