Circular knitting machines, also called loopwheelers, were developed over 100 years ago. They date back to the time when Germany's textile industry excelled in quality and innovation. Circular knitting machines produce knitted fabrics that differ significantly from normal jersey fabrics in their look and feel, as well as in their durability and dimensional stability. A distinctive feature is that the shirts have no side seams, which makes them special. Producing the long-lasting fabrics is a laborious and slow process and that is exactly why this method is a specialty nowadays. The last specialists are located in the Swabian Alb, which has always been known as a stronghold of textile production.

Just as old mechanical typewriters create a unique typeface on paper through small irregularities in the punctuation, the circular knitting machines, with their more than 1000 needles arranged in a circle, create an individual image in the knitted fabric through small tolerances, which is the characteristic feature of these loopwheeler garments. The elaborate production process means that only the best yarn qualities made of organic cotton, wool and viscose are used. The qualities do without chemical additives, such as industrial pre-washing. This makes each piece an environmentally friendly textile made of natural materials that are gentle to the skin. To make the Spirit tangible right out of the box, the Good Originals come in an authentic small batch cardboard box with corner clips and separate note about the history.
