HILTL

About HILTL

HILTL has made men's trousers in Germany since 1955, when tailor Fritz Hiltl founded the company with his wife Hedwig, his brother Erhard and six apprentices, turning out just 20 pairs a day before presenting the range at Cologne Men's Fashion Week. Seventy years on, the family firm is still built around precision tailoring details rarely seen outside made-to-measure work: buttons in urea or corozo fixed with a red-threaded shank, keyhole buttonholes with cross bar tacks, and fine-toothed metal zips made exclusively for HILTL. By 2015 it was shipping more than half a million pairs to over 40 countries.
