If you love outdoor activities, there's no getting around it: high-quality functional clothing from Schöffel. Being active in the fresh air, feeling at one with nature and experiencing the pure joy of movement - this is something that provides many people with the necessary balance to their hectic working lives. Schöffel recognized the trend towards sporting activity in the great outdoors early on and developed just the right clothing for it. It provides optimum freedom of movement, protection in all weathers, is breathable and warms the body without causing unpleasant perspiration. Schöffel also produces windproof and waterproof clothing that is equipped with the hard-wearing Gore-Tex® membrane.
The focus at Schöffel is on the outstanding quality of the articles, to which high-quality materials and careful workmanship contribute. It is not for nothing that the company is one of the few that employs apprentices in the tailoring profession. Schöffel stands for traditional craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art technology and high quality standards. This has been part of the company's philosophy since the hosier Georg Schöffel began selling knitted stockings, socks, nightcaps and Swabian pointed caps in 1804. In the course of an eventful history, the business expanded and became a flourishing textile trade. A modern clothing store was opened in 1960 and a trouser factory in 1961.
In 1967, Hubert Schöffel, a sixth-generation businessman, decided to specialize in sportswear. Schöffel has acquired an outstanding reputation in this field. It sells clothing for every kind of outdoor activity, be it hiking, cycling, skiing or simply for relaxed recreation. The clothing is not only functional, it also meets every demand for fashionable design.
