RIESENHEMD Hamburg is a family business and exclusively manufactures extra-long shirts. All our fabrics are made from 100% European cotton and are OEKO-TEX® certified.
100% European cotton
Cotton is the most commonly used natural fiber for dress shirts, and not without reason: shirts made from cotton are breathable and guarantee high wearing comfort.
However, cotton is not just cotton. Cotton is a plant from the mallow family and a very old cultivated plant. There are approximately 50 different varieties of cotton. India, China, USA, Brazil, Pakistan, Turkey and Australia are the world's most important producers. But cotton is also produced in Europe in Greece, Spain and Bulgaria. Cotton plants require frost-free soil, warm weather, plenty of sunshine, little rain and lots of water to grow.
What matters for the textile industry are the seed hairs from which the cotton fiber is obtained. Seed hairs longer than 30 mm are considered high quality, as they can twist several times and make the yarn more stable.
When selecting our fabrics, we placed great importance on ensuring that our fabrics are made from 100% European cotton.
Tested for harmful substances
When selecting our fabrics, we also placed great importance on ensuring that our fabrics are tested for harmful substances and that the fabric manufacturer can provide a corresponding certificate.
We are proud that all fabrics used in our shirts have passed the strict testing procedure of OEKO-TEX® and accordingly have a "Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®" certificate. Sustainability is very important to us!
