What to know about Heimat Textil
A kilogram of wool per sweater
The signature pieces are heavy 5-gauge wool crewnecks knitted from roughly a kilo of yarn, with hand-sewn collars and cuff striping — density is the selling point.
Knitted and made in Germany
Founded in Munich in 2016 by ex-Ralph Lauren designer Christian Hofmann, with all knitting and production kept in Germany rather than outsourced.
Caps are the entry point
The Deck and Mechanics caps, widely copied elsewhere, sit near $80, while sweaters run about $275-285 through heritage shops like Division Road and Standard & Strange.
