But let’s go back to the production of our jackets for a minute: As you most likely already know, our outerwear production is in China. That has various reasons, the most important one for us is that the knowledge of making real high quality outerwear has wandered off from Europe years ago. As we think that real sustainability starts with offering a long lasting, quality product, it was obvious for us that we wouldn’t be able to produce nearer to our Europe headquarters.
Production prices are another big point here. Even if we would be able to find a European producer with the quality in outerwear we’re looking for, it would be very hard to offer our products in an even remotely affordable price range. It’s also important to remember that just because something’s sewn in Europe, doesn’t mean the materials haven’t been shipped from all over the place.
Good thing we found a way to at least have our products delivered to us by train (instead of ship or air freight).
