Type 1 WW2 Jacket: Original / Updated by hamansutra
The jacket was a World War II unisex style, designed specifically to reduce material usage.  This Japanese Denim Special Edition is styled with a lanyard of a type worn by the German Army (Bundeswehr) on ceremonial occasions. I worked for the German Army in their textile workshop. The ideas I saw there live on in my work.

15oz Fold Lap Seam By hamansutra - 5 Pocket:

Original / Updated Just a warning. These Denim Pants are close-fitting and sexy. I use my own updated patterns to leave a clear personal hallmark. If your normal size is W34, you’ll need W35.

The recycled content of this fabric derives from old jeans that have reached the end of their life-cycle. The jeans are shredded back to fibre stage, blended with fresh cotton, and then re-spun into yarn. As a result, a closed-loop is created with old jeans used to make a new pair, reducing the need for virgin materials.

Long Live The McQueen

After 9/11 2001, hamansutra met Alexander McQueen for an interview in London. The two women there as showroom managers were pretty unfriendly, and one of them even mocked haman’s British English street slang. Lee McQueen had been on the lookout for classic tailors able to perform tasks like hand-stitching eyelet buttonholes. But there was nothing free for the 22-year-old haman and they never worked together. And yet McQueen told haman, “We’re the same. Creative. I can see it in your sketchbooks.” Lee Alexander McQueen accepted haman’s German military pants and original sketch as a gift, with a hand-written dedication. Haman had the pants for a long time, good quality industrial manufacture, cheap, not trendy, a German-made product. The quality used to be better, but production moved abroad after the Second World War. A picture showing Lee Alexander McQueen actually wearing the military pants in his studio, has now been used for the cover of “Alexander McQueen - The Life and the Legacy” by Judith Watt, a globally published examination of the designer. The location of the picture was Amwell Street, London, near Angel in Islington, where McQueen lived within walking distance of his studio. Central St Martins College from the late 90s to 2010 was Alexander McQueen’s best time. If he were alive today he would still be the Number One. He went his own way and had his associates, who brought him up but also dragged him down – like the corporation that owned 51% of his company. The deaths of Isabella Blow and his mother were bitter blows; he was also under pressure from Gucci Group to deliver more commercial designs. A hoodie with the McQueen logo? Never! And yet he was an irreplaceable role model to us as St. Martins graduates. He shaped and formed us; we grew up surrounded by his superhuman energy and took on the responsibility and the pressure to match his quality, imposed by the same college and tutors. After his death in 2010 hamansutra decided to delete all his social media accounts. The news was like a physical blow, it caused complete numbness. Sometimes you wonder how people like that got to be so good – but take Alexander McQueen: I know that after CSM closed every day, he would hide under the tables in the pattern room to carry on working on his collection at night. It's pretty sad that nobody can respect Alexander McQueen's wishes and close the house. People and Gucci Group should have respected his wishes. They are too money hungry to care! Sad that creativity and industry can't walk together for long. However, Lee McQueen made you dream, made you hopeful, made you love life…made you love fashion...he made us love art. His death was the culmination of his art. Rest in Paradise, brother.

Travelling without a neck pillow is like a construction site without a power drill. No way. Neck pillows are essentials everywhere, even on the couch or in the car. I was so disappointed at the poor quality products everywhere that I made my own – produced from the same denim fabrics I use for my collection. Source your own pillow, then contact me for a denim cover with copper buttons.

Story
In political terms, war clothing has no positive associations. Because the arms industry is awash with money, military clothing is made to be timeless and functional down to the last and tiniest detail. Clothing, not fashion. This M65 jacket actually won awards. Whatever. This is engineering work, the only type I like. Of course the US military pays out huge amounts for product placement to see the products worn by actors in movies. International marketing. “Taxi Driver”, “Rambo I” and “Terminator I”. The idea behind my stripped-back product modernization and styling is to restore positive associations to the “Originals – Updated”. But if you poke the bear you’ve got to be ready for its bite. The United States Armed Forces and M65 Jacket (1965) bears the responsibility for every murder in Vietnam because it was worn there. US soldiers were told to “shoot anything that moves”. “Body Count”. Rapper ICE-T formed the band “Body Count” in 1992 and whipped up a scandal with the track “Cop Killer”, which was banned immediately. By the US Government. Irony?

Back in the day, hip hop culture had a gold chain for everything – but no gold shoelaces. Gold chains might be pretty impractical as laces, but they’re really great as inspiration. I took the idea of the medallion and used it as the tip for a set of quality cotton laces. This trademarked creation is now available in an ultra-limited edition of just 10 sets. The golden tips feature engraved lettering on polished brass, showcasing a technique that combines skill with intuition and takes years of experience and expertise to perfect. The result was even showered with praise by a master goldsmith. The Gold Laces will be sold in our online shop. Hurry while stocks last – buy now, or cry later!

HAMANSUTRA’S BEKLEIDUNGSWERKE produces the shoes by hand in small batches, using the very first German wooden nail machine. A proven craft technique that was invented in 1880.

In this process, many wooden nails are used to attach the sole, inner and upper of the shoe together. The process results in a superbly stable, solid shoe that is extremely durable and retains its shape excellently.

The finest leather is used to ensure superb comfort in wear and long life. All leather used is naturally tanned and retains its antibacterial and antifungal properties. No plastic or cardboard are used. Linings are created from natural unfinished calfskin, which is absorbent and allows feet to breathe.

Caring Properly for your HAMANSUTRA 1940s Classic Shoes
Wear good quality socks. They will absorb perspiration, thus prolonging the life of your hamansutra Shoes. Good socks also help keep your feet in healthy condition.

Always use a shoehorn to put your shoes on.

Loosen the laces all the way down before taking the shoes off, to allow the foot to slip out of the shoe more easily. Place shoe trees (preferably our own brand) in the shoes as soon as you take them off.

When not in wear, the shoes should be stored in a well ventilated place at normal temperature.

To ensure the shoes retain their shape, never wear the same pair on two consecutive days, but always let them dry for at least 24 hours.

If your shoes have been soaked by rain or snow, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them dry thoroughly at room temperature.

After wearing, wipe the shoes clean and repolish with a horsehair brush. Apply shoe polish to the uppers after every third wear.

Once a month, apply dubbin (leather grease) to the shoes, place shoe trees in the shoes and allow to soak in. After 24 hours wipe the shoes with a cotton cloth and repolish with the horsehair brush.

To help prevent wear to the sole and avoid creaks, apply a thin film of dubbin to the leather sole once a month.

The shoes are long-lasting products and can be mended by a specialist shoemaker or our own repair service throughout their lifetime.

All my jeans follow the shrink-to-fit philosophy, meaning the fabric can shrink up to 10%.

You can also email me your pants size and I’ll send the jeans anywhere in the world. I want to say something about the Japanese denims I use. The fabric is fantastic and will make you feel as strong and invincible as 16th-century Samurai knights in armour. Did you know they wore undershirts and underwear that had been indigo-dyed, because indigo protects the skin from bacteria? All my Japanese denim is selvedge denim, still made in the original way on small looms so that nothing is wasted in cutting. So, that’s the latest news about my jeans.

DESIGNERS 
We designers spend so much time working out style solutions, so we’re really relieved and happy when we don't have to go around like walking billboards festooned with logos – weirdly, many fashion brands seem to think this is desirable. With this in mind, I designed and updated a “plain, old-fashioned” shirt range inspired by this philosophy for designers, artists and personalities.

The Homage to Levi Strauss involves a 501 jeans design updated and customized by fashion designer hamansutra

Levi's turned 145 years old on 20th of May 2018.

I hereby present my own Homage to Levi Strauss with my private collection of LEVI’S with Rare Big E. For me, denim is nothing less than clothes for life, and I’ve been wearing Levi’s jackets and pants since I can remember.

Also as double denim, like a suit – a tradition in Texas. I and likeminded aficionados were already prowling flea markets in the 80s and 90s, seeking out the selvedge denim pants with the BIG E label, very aware of the value of what we found. After my research showed that no true homage was ever paid to Levi Strauss, I decided to launch my own project.

And because Levi Strauss came from Bavaria, Germany, I thought it was fitting to incorporate the baby-blue diamonds of the Bavarian flag, in the screenprinted pocket linings and the packaging. Here it is.

The "501 - Original/Updated" by Hamansutra is limited to 100 pieces, which will be available only on QUICKSHOP.NYC or in our Showroom in Munich and at a price of Euro 349 with packaging.

CHOCOLATE . TASTE IS ABOUT KNOWLEDGE

Ladies and Gentlemen, our freshly made chocolate has been released.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for … chocolate. After a long phase of testing and experimentation (yum), my exquisite Made in Germany chocolate crafted from the finest ingredients is now available. In Milk or Dark. Manufactured in a chocolate factory in Berlin with heart, soul and tradition. €4.99 a bar. NOT available in any supermarkets, though many of them would give their eyeteeth to sell it. Small orders from boutiques, restaurants, agencies, hotels or coffee shops are the aim. “Taste is about knowledge” – like the quality of my clothing, and the recipe for the chocolate. And that’s the name of the chocolate itself too: “Taste is about Knowledge” by Erich Hamann & Hamansutra.

My Military Jungle Boot is made with Candiani Denim that packs some serious horsepower. There are just a handful of factories around the world that still have these machines and know how to use them. “They go through bones like butter.”

We still get our boots produced in Austria in small production runs; the soles have wooden nails that are made on a machine from 1880.

Keep your boots well polished and your denim well dirty - Let’s have a fight.

Handmade Shoes with special historical wooden nails on the sole.

Sole with wooden nails, 3 elements.

Invisible eyelets.

Prepolished leather.

HAMANSUTRA’S BEKLEIDUNGSWERKE produces the shoes by hand in small batches, using the very first German wooden nail machine. A proven craft technique that was invented in 1880.

In this process, many wooden nails are used to attach the sole, inner and upper of the shoe together. The process results in a superbly stable, solid shoe that is extremely durable and retains its shape excellently.

The finest leather is used to ensure superb comfort in wear and long life. All leather used is naturally tanned and retains its antibacterial and antifungal properties. No plastic or cardboard are used. Linings are created from natural unfinished calfskin, which is absorbent and allows feet to breathe.

Caring Properly for your HAMANSUTRA Shoes
Wear good quality socks. They will absorb perspiration, thus prolonging the life of your hamansutra Shoes. Good socks also help keep your feet in healthy condition.

Always use a shoehorn to put your shoes on.

Loosen the laces all the way down before taking the shoes off, to allow the foot to slip out of the shoe more easily. Place shoe trees (preferably our own brand) in the shoes as soon as you take them off.

When not in wear, the shoes should be stored in a well ventilated place at normal temperature.

To ensure the shoes retain their shape, never wear the same pair on two consecutive days, but always let them dry for at least 24 hours.

If your shoes have been soaked by rain or snow, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them dry thoroughly at room temperature.

After wearing, wipe the shoes clean and repolish with a horsehair brush. Apply shoe polish to the uppers after every third wear.

Once a month, apply dubbin (leather grease) to the shoes, place shoe trees in the shoes and allow to soak in. After 24 hours wipe the shoes with a cotton cloth and repolish with the horsehair brush.

To help prevent wear to the sole and avoid creaks, apply a thin film of dubbin to the leather sole once a month.

The shoes are long-lasting products and can be mended by a specialist shoemaker or our own repair service throughout their lifetime.
