Stefan Brandt

A T-shirt is just a T-shirt? Not at all, because Stefan Brandt for men has it – the formula for comfort. Dr Stefan Brandt, owner and namesake of the label, has revolutionised the cotton jersey from which the fashion all-rounders are made through many years of tinkering - with a clear and ambitious goal in mind: the perfect product. The difference can be felt: thanks to a special treatment of South American Pima cotton – already one of the finest in the world – he succeeded in 2015 in working out properties from the natural fibre that come close to silk. The step-by-step process completely dispenses with chemical additives and the result is stunning: a velvety-soft cotton jersey with maximum inherent elasticity and amazing benefits: It is dimensionally stable, colourfast, silky, crease-resistant, suitable for allergy sufferers and also has excellent drying properties. This properties make it particularly easy to care for and suitable for everyday use.

Where Are Stefan Brandt's Garments Produced?

Stefan Brandt has been running his own production facility in Quito, Ecuador, a stronghold of Jersey, since 1994. Through his studies and experience, in particular a post-doctoral fellowship in Cartagena, Colombia, he has developed a deep understanding of materials and innovative process techniques. This extensive expertise flows into the production of his collections, which are manufactured under strict quality controls. Since 2022, Stefan Brandt has even been growing his own luxury cotton in Ecuador, which leaves the process from raw material to finished product entirely in his hands. This regional production not only ensures the highest quality, but also sustainability and transparency throughout the entire production chain.

What Makes Stefan Brandt's Garments So Special?

Stefan Brandt's garments for men are characterised by numerous unique features that make them something very special. First of all, Brandt uses only the finest cotton: extra long-staple Pima cotton. Garments made from this material are suitable for allergy sufferers and are characterised by their high dimensional stability, which is achieved through the innovative PREFIT treatment – an innovative 15-step process. The textile is treated in a closed system at over 100°C with water vapour and without chemical additives. Another advantage of this process is that you can wash many Stefan Brandt jerseys for men at 60°C in the washing machine. This means you don't have to worry about colour loss even at high temperatures. The fabrics' ability to wick away moisture and make them comfortable to wear is also particularly noteworthy, making them ideal for a wide range of climates. The clothing is also characterised by its outstanding softness and inherent elasticity, which ensures a perfect fit without creasing. The use of high-quality dyes also guarantees long-lasting colour brilliance.
The handmade details are another highlight: hand-stitching techniques that are otherwise only used in customised clothing are used here. Mother-of-pearl buttons on the Stefan Brandt polo shirts are sewn on so tightly that they cannot tear off.

Stefan Brandt: Revolutionary Material Qualities for Men

It is the highly comfortable, unique jersey qualities that characterise every piece in Stefan Brandt's collection for men. With URPIMA® SELECTED, the physicist achieved a breakthrough in 2015 – a Pima cotton quality that had never been produced before was born. Brandt continued to build on this and developed new outstanding material qualities with a unique selling point that revolutionised the market. Here we give you a brief overview of the registered materials and their outstanding properties.

• URPIMA® ULTRA: This long-staple cotton creation looks like pure silk and also imitates its feel. The ultra-fine, twisted natural fibre also offers a natural cooling effect due to evaporation.
• URPIMA® SUPER 100E: The further development of this material contains an elastane content that provides even more comfort. The extremely dense fibre allows water to simply roll off without sacrificing breathability.
• FRENCH TERRY LINEN: Sweat already offers a pleasant effect thanks to its loop structure, which Stefan Brandt takes to a new level of comfort with the addition of linen - temperature and moisture are optimised.
• FRENCH TERRY WOOL: The loop structure on the inside of this innovation, in which Stefan Brandt blends merino wool with classic French terry for men, also offers a pleasant feel and softness. The wool fibre itself has numerous small air pockets, which develop even greater potential in combination with the terry and enhance the natural effect of the wool fibre. This allows you to enjoy optimum warmth that is naturally regulated.
• SUPERFINE JERSEY IN 100% MERINO WOOL: The superfine 16-micron merino wool from Australia is reminiscent of cashmere and silk - such a fine merino jersey is unrivalled. It can also easily be put in the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Tip: Note the numbers on the material names, such as URPIMA® 80: the higher the number, the finer the yarn. This also indicates a particularly silky feel and high lightness. Other additions to the Stefan Brandt collection items for men, such as the E, indicate an elastane content, while particularly fine qualities have the addition SUPER in their name.
