Wellensteyn

For every days challenges

Wellensteyn, the primary authentic „work-wear“-jacket for both sexes. Tested and approved functionality, innovative fabrics and excellent quality for all purposes. 60 years ago Adolf Wuttke begann his business as a welding rod reseller in Hamburg, but soon launched the production for deep submerge mechanical instruments. These devices, i.e. „Kastengreifer” (a means for getting up sand from the sea bottom) or „Planktonhai” (an instrument to catch plankton from the sea) are still in use worldwide! Adolf Wuttke’s s customers – the German Shipyard Industy – ever since needed sturdy, resistant and everlasting work-wear. At Wuttke’s in Hamburg heavy, seaworthy and waxed sailcloth was tailormade, the so called “Deutschleder” (German Leather). Out of this design and demand functional protective clothing created, which qualified for off-shore work in rough and stormy sea. These decades of knowledge in performance, ergonomics concerning the requirements for tough and practical work-wear, Thomas Wuttke entered the company in 1986 and began to create a new generation of functional jackets.
