50 years of quality, down to the smallest detail – that is our signature

High–quality materials, stylish designs, perfect fits and functional details are what make Meyer trousers so special. Headquartered in Germany since 1960, we manufacture Meyer trousers in our own European factory. As an international men´s trouser specialist, we deliver our garments to 35 countries around the world, where you can find our products in 3,500 different retailers. In order to meet our high standards, we not only pay attention to excellent quality but also take responsibility. Compliance with international social and ecological standards in our own European manufacturing plant is regularly checked on site by FLO–CERT, the world´s largest independent social certification body. This is confirmed by our fair trade seal.
Our products fulfill the criteria of Oekotex Standard 100 and those of the internationally recognized fair trade seal. Compliance with international social and ecological standards in our factory is regularly checked on site by FLO–CERT, the world´s largest independent social certification body.
Fair manufacturing conditions and ecological standards in our own manufacturing, as well as the best quality down to the smallest detail – that´s the promise we make for our trade partners and end customers.

Quality down to the smallest detail is an ongoing theme that runs through our collections. Comfort is just as important to us as the functional aspect. All of our trousers come with a hidden security pocket for cash or credit cards, as well as an elastic waistband for wearing comfort. Every model name stands for certain characteristics or tailoring techniques that are unrelated to the fabric. If you like a certain model, you can search by model name to find your preferred fit, or use our trouser fit finder ["Hosenfinder"].

1. Preparation
1.1 By separating your colours carefully, you can prevent darker colours from bleeding onto lighter ones.
1.2 Close zippers and buttons to prevent the metal parts from scraping the fabric.
1.3 Turn the trousers inside out. Do not pre–treat stains by rubbing them. Rubbing will not remove stains, but will create lighter spots due to rubbing off the dye. If necessary, please use only appropriate pre–treatment products.
1.4 Do not wash more than 3–4 pairs of trousers at a time. Please note that cotton is cleaned through the agitation process. Overloading the drum will limit the trousers´ movement in the machine.

2. Settings
2.1 Use as little detergent as possible, since excess detergent can leave traces on the fabric. Powdered and liquid detergent are both suitable. Cotton is primarily cleaned through mechanical movement, so the detergent simply provides a pleasant smell.
2.2 Be sure to use colour detergent for the trousers in order to prevent them from fading prematurely. Do not use heavy–duty detergent; it contains optical brighteners and will bleach the fabric.
2.3 Fabric softener and other emollients are not necessary, since all of the trousers come with a permanent softener built in.
2.4 Choose normal wash cycles∗ – ideally 40ºC for coloured fabrics. Gentle or delicate cycles do not provide enough agitation during the washing process.
2.5 Pre–washing is not necessary, and only uses excess water. If desired, soak your laundry first to pre–treat any significant soiling.
2.6 Use the shortest possible spin cycle. For optimal washing results, use the lowest speed (400 rotations) for a short spin cycle. Faster spin cycles will compress the fibers by pressing water out through the weave.
2.7 After the end of the wash cycle, avoid leaving the wet trousers in the drum for too long.

3. Drying (cotton / linen / kapok)
When using a dryer, please use low temperatures (max. 60º – 65ºC). The dryer will make the trousers feel soft and smooth.

4. Ironing (cotton / linen / kapok)
Avoid too–hot irons at all costs. Note that the temperature you set can often vary greatly from the actual ironing temperature. Be especially careful when ironing fabrics with a high synthetic content. Steam usually raises the temperature even more, so it should be used with caution. Iron dark trousers and jeans inside out to avoid shiny spots.

∗ In order to prevent unnecessary energy and water consumption, please check whether your machine has a "small load" setting. Newer models should all be able to determine the load weight in the drum automatically.
