Focus on comfort and health: hypoallergenic uniforms

Hypoallergenic uniforms for pilots minimize allergic reactions and increase wearing comfort. The fabric consists of a blend of polyester, viscose and lycra, which have been treated so that they release fewer skin contact allergens.

These uniforms are not only skin-friendly, but also offer other benefits such as breathability and moisture management. This is particularly important for pilots who perform long and stressful duties. Wearing comfort plays a major role, as it has a direct impact on pilots' well-being and performance.

Airlines that use hypoallergenic uniforms are investing in the health of their crew and setting an example for modern and responsible working conditions.

Hypoallergenic Jackets: 33920, 33921, 33922, 33926, 33927 and the matching trousers: 42640

We're 70!

When our company opened in 1955, it was the typical start-up period with its unrivalled spirit of optimism and hope for a better future. We have remained true to the textile industry, but almost everything has changed in the last 70 years. Fashion for customers in the countryside became uniforms for airlines and corporate fashion for well-known companies. Retail became industrial production, regional customers became international clients. Only one thing has remained the same: Our enthusiasm for what we do.

NEW: The uniform trousers that adapt to the flight level!

Based on our years of working with uniforms for airlines and feedback from pilots, we know: Before the crew takes their seats in the cockpit, the belt is loosened and possibly the top button on the waistband is undone. The reason is provided by flight physiology: At an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 feet, the pressure in the cabin still corresponds to an altitude of 6,000 to 8,000 feet which causes the abdominal girth to increase by about 4 cm. That's a whole clothing size!

We now solve this inconvenience with uniform pants that have a stretch waistband that adjusts to changes in the body and a matching leather belt with the same function. The pants fit during the preflight check just as well as during the cruise section and then also during the engine shutdown and the post-flight inspection, when the aircraft is already back in the parking position. The uniform trousers with stretch waistband guarantee a constant and comfortable fit. More than ever before, pilots can concentrate on their task without being distracted by a constricting waistband. The uniform pants with stretch waistband thus contribute significantly to the safety and efficiency of flight operations.

Taking measurement made easy

A personal fitting is still the best prerequisite for a fitting uniform. However, large distances between our client and us do not always make this possible.

Under these conditions, we have created an online tool that makes taking measurements easy. Short videos show how and where the required measurements can be taken and then entered in a data field. All data is transmitted - in compliance with all data protection regulations - and with the support of an AI system, which is based on all our experience, the most suitable uniform size for you is determined. Of course, the determined size is finally checked for plausibility by an expert. Try it out. Here you can go to our Measurement-Tool.
