Men's Button Up Shirts SCHATTENWESEN – A Statement Piece for Summer
“When I wore this SCHATTENWESEN shirt, I couldn’t walk through the street without getting compliments. The black-and-white design by Gregor-T. Kozik is like nothing else – it truly makes a statement. But what I love most is that it’s not just striking, it’s also incredibly comfortable. The cotton fabric feels so light and fresh, making it perfect for summer. And the fact that only 499 of these shirts exist in the world makes it even more special. It took a few weeks to arrive, but honestly, it was worth the wait. This shirt isn’t just fashion – it’s a real head-turner!"
The SCHATTENWESEN men’s short sleeve button-up shirt brings the art world into fashion, perfect for warm summer days. Featuring bold black-and-white contrasts, the design by Gregor-T. Kozik is sure to catch everyone’s attention. This shirt isn’t just stylish; it’s a rare collector’s item, with only 499 pieces available. The artistic surface design is tailored precisely to the shirt’s cut, making it more extravagant and distinct than most colorful summer shirts.
Benefits of Cotton Fabric
Made from 100% premium cotton, the SCHATTENWESEN shirt is comfortable and breathable, making it ideal for hot days. The fabric prevents odors, keeping you fresh all day long. It is also durable and easy to care for, holding its shape and color even after many washes, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Exclusive Details and Craftsmanship
This shirt features exclusive GERMENS details: The signature collar notch on the back of the button-down collar adds a unique touch, while the buttons are securely stem-stitched to ensure they don’t come loose. The seams are tightly sewn with 7-8 stitches per cm, guaranteeing long-lasting durability. The collar, though without metal collar stays, holds its shape perfectly.

Available in ten sizes, from XS to 6XL, the SCHATTENWESEN shirt is designed to fit every man perfectly. Unsure about your size? Try our Try-on Service to test up to three sizes at home.

About GERMENS
GERMENS artfashion – art to wear
GERMENS is more than just fashion. It is an extraordinary concept that combines art, individuality and sustainability. Since it was founded in 2010, GERMENS has stood for wearable works of art – each item of clothing is created in collaboration with international artists and is absolutely unique in its design.
Why GERMENS? Because we rethink fashion. Instead of producing mass-produced goods, we manufacture exclusively to order or in small, limited editions. This reduces overproduction, conserves resources and makes every GERMENS piece something special. Our fabrics come from Saxony and are made into high-quality shirts, blouses and T-shirts in Europe – with attention to detail and precision craftsmanship.
GERMENS stands for exceptional designs that emphasise the character of the wearer. For quality that you can feel. And for an attitude that sees fashion as an expression of personality and culture.
GERMENS is fashion for people who don't want to look like everyone else – but like themselves.

What is special about GERMENS?
extravagant artist designs
René Koenig and numerous external artists create their designs directly on special templates that correspond exactly to the cuts of GERMENS clothing. The result is a surface design that fits perfectly on every item of clothing – an interplay of art and fashion in perfect form.
Exclusive designs - printed to fit perfectly
GERMENS only uses its own designs, which are only available here. For each garment – in every size from XS to 6XL – the pattern pieces are printed individually and accurately on high-quality cotton fabric.
The fabric is then finished so that the colours remain permanently brilliant, the fabric is washable, suitable for everyday use and comfortable to wear – without any unpleasant odours.
Careful cutting by hand
GERMENS only produces what has actually been ordered. This is very sustainable and ensures lasting value. After printing, the fabrics are cut to size – in the traditional way, by hand. The skilled worker is visually orientated to the design and cuts each piece individually. The result is a perfect fit in which art and cut interact perfectly.
Careful manufacture in the factory
After cutting, the many individual pieces are sewn together in a Polish family business with great care and many years of experience. High-quality finishing details – such as finely stitched edges or buttons with handles – and fine fabrics guarantee that every GERMENS garment will give you long-lasting pleasure.Who wears GERMENS?
