All trousers are handcrafted_* one by one and in small series. Good quality and durability of the clothes are the standard by which i work, one that i continously try to improve. Important criteria for the designs are their use and the production method. I try to manufacture with awareness in treatment of our resources in all working processes.
The trousers are made with high quality materials. As said before, due to the compromise with the whole production process, i introduced a very good Canvas qualitiy made of organic cotton_* fibres (woven in Porto - Portugal). A big step will be next, to offer all cotton fabrics in organic. Excellent resistant suit clothes (Made in Barcelona / Catalunya & in Huddersfield - Yorkshire / England) are also available in the assortment of fabrics. For trousers and vests i can offer a very particular Loden (fulled cloth), which is made in the mountains of Austria.
There is a main role in the design inspiration and that is in a big part taken by the growing curiosity towards clothing for craftsmen and traditional garbs; its shapes, the functional details, the process methods used, the materials, the traditional tailoring techniques and even sometimes the old stories that go with these, are the input that translates into a refined form. In combination with new ideas on detail and limited only by simplicity, these are the aspiration of craftsmanship that indnat hold in honor.
"Es ist einfach das Interesse, die Neugier und die Freude an der Sache."
Silent sports like surfing, climbing, BMX, ... the ocean and the mountains, ... the interest in different handcrafts ... and ... so much more, most of all that what you can not explain with words, are the ingredients_* for the design, fine-tuning and the feeling of the products.
In collaboration with Eva Brandmaier (selected ambient works - Berlin) we introduced last autumn a limited serie of knitted wool sweater. The yarn was made of untreated - unbleached wool made by the fulling mill in the mountains of Austria. For this Autumn (2010) we concentrated the production on a high quality, natural coloured yarn, made of 50% Yakwool - 50% Merinowool from Florence in Italy. Beside the Pull.over001, we developed a Cardigan for women and men. All knitted garments are made in Germany. Available as from autumn by mail order or retail stores in Munich and Berlin.

<RESPECT THE WATERS> has its roots in windsurfing and surfing. This statement calls for thoughtfulness towards nature, the resources at our disposal, and our dependence upon them. The understanding of this should always be the underlying foundation to our inspiration and professional approach, for all steps and decisions to come.
