Health & Skin Safety

Safe Shirt Textiles: Tested for Harmful Substances

A bespoke shirt is worn directly on the skin for 12 hours or more every day. At hemdwerk, we place the highest priority on your health and skin comfort. All fabrics, sewing threads, buttons, interlinings, and accessories strictly comply with the international OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Product Class II).

This guarantees that no legally prohibited or harmful chemicals, toxic dyes, or skin irritants are present in any of our shirting components.

Strict limit values for textiles worn directly against the skin.

🌿 100% Component Testing

Every thread, button, stay, and fabric layer is tested.

✓ Heavy metals & Formaldehyde (weit unter strengsten Höchstgrenzen)
✓ Skin-neutral pH value (zur Schonung des natürlichen Säureschutzmantels)
✓ Sweat & Saliva Fastness (kein Ausbluten oder Abfärben auf die Haut)

The certification is issued exclusively by independent OEKO-TEX® member institutes (such as Hohenstein or Centexbel) and must be renewed annually through rigorous sample audits.
