Men's Button Up Shirts SMOKER – Stylish Summer Sophistication
"I instantly fell in love with the SMOKER shirt – the smoky design in warm browns and cool blues is so unique. When I wore it for the first time, people couldn’t stop complimenting the eye-catching design. But the comfort really stands out – the lightweight cotton is perfect for summer and keeps me fresh even on hot days. And with only 499 pieces worldwide, it feels like I own something truly special."
The SMOKER men’s short sleeve button-up shirt combines artistic elegance with exceptional comfort. Designed by René König, the shirt features dominant brown tones blended with blue, reminiscent of swirling smoke. Limited to only 499 pieces, the SMOKER shirt stands out as a true statement piece. Due to its meticulous craftsmanship, production can take several weeks.
Benefits of Cotton Fabric
Made from 100% cotton, the SMOKER shirt offers a soft, breathable feel. The cotton fabric is odor-resistant, ensuring you stay fresh even on hot summer days. Its durability ensures the shirt retains its shape and vibrant color over time.
Exclusive Details and Craftsmanship
The SMOKER shirt features unique GERMENS details, including the signature collar notch on the back of the button-down collar. The buttons are securely stem-stitched for durability, while the tight stitching (7-8 stitches per cm) ensures long-lasting quality. The collar, though without metal stays, maintains its sharp look.
Sizes and Services
Available in ten sizes from XS to 6XL, the SMOKER shirt is designed to fit all body types. To find your perfect fit, use our Try-on Service, where you can try up to three sizes at home. Should you need alterations, our Modification Service is available for adjustments.
Easy to maintain, the shirt is machine washable, and its colors remain vibrant after many washes. For more care tips, visit our textile care page.

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?
