100% made in Germany
uses yarn from Germany and Europe
uses cotton from Germany, Austria and a certified family business in Turkey
environment-friendly and sustainable production
you can book a factory tour to see for yourself how they produce their stuff
their products are not that much more expensive because they last much longer

I (only) have one shirt by them. I was a test buy and it worked out. After several washes that shirt is still in good shape. The shirts from the far east would be too damaged to wear by now.

Is the company whose owner is famous for quips like "minimum wage is a shame", or "if you can work from home, you're not needed"?

Germany sadly has a long history of great companies that couldn't get with the times and disappeared. While I like some of Trigema's ideals, it's badly in need of some fresh ideas.

I have been to a Trigema outlet last year and couldn't find anything i would like to wear. Sure they had shirts in every imaginable color, but only one form factor. The whole lineup seems to be catered to people 60+ years of age. The quality seems to be very good though.

Also, the founder Wolfgang Grupp is kind of cringe and very conservative, probably as well as his children who run the company now. Since he stepped down as CEO he regularly visits talkshows to display his antiquated world views.
