Since 1936, Blauer has been the leading American supplier of technical garments for all polices forces, selected areas of the army, such as US Navy officials and White House special agents, firemen and rangers. Blauer uniforms have built up a legendary reputation for their excellent quality and the use of tested and certified technical materials that keep out the rain, wind, cold and snow. Quite simply, Blauer jackets have always been made to last. Ever since its foundation, the well-established production philosophy and exacting style have allowed Blauer to become a point of reference for many American police departments, with their garments reflecting the brand’s “Uncompromising performance” motto in terms of both quality and longevity. In 2001, FGF Industry signed a licensing agreement with American colossus Blauer USA. FGF Industry has succeeded in bring the legendary uniform brand into the fashion market, meticulously selecting and reconstructing the garments to instil them with a strong character and a well-defined style, while maintaining the essential characteristics of the brand’s origins. The Blauer USA collection guarantees the same resistant, hardwearing materials used for the uniforms while applying a softer touch to give the greater comfort required by everyday clothing. It can also guarantee precision and accuracy in producing garments that conserve the invaluable added extras so typical of military garments, such as wind-proof pockets, closable interior pockets and compartments designed to meet any requirement: features that make all the difference for urban or outdoor use. Standing alongside the collection’s historic Heritage garments are a series of cutting-edge, innovative garments that, while respecting the brand’s solid production philosophy, bring the lines for men, women and children in sync with the fashion market, with colourful garments and materials brought up to date with original, creative design. 2016 Blauer USA is celebrating their 80th birthday. For this occasion the Fusco and D’Amore family, owners of the Venetian company FGF Industry which has produced and distributed the brand on the international fashion market for over 15 years, will present a collection of limited edition clothes and accessories. A capsule collection of Blauer iconic pieces: two men’s leather jackets, one black and one brown, and a brown leather biker jacket for women. The models are inspired by the American police in Forties Boston and were made with aged and ‘used’ leather and institutional patches. The iconic model for the Blauer Shoes collection will be a special sneaker. Completely stone-washed by specialist artisans, the shoe will have a purposefully ‘used’ and particularly vintage look. A classic derby shoe with soft leather uppers, ultra-light rubber soles and the added detail of a rubber toe cap which is hand-glued with no stitching with the same technique used for free-climbing shoes. This unique and particularly sophisticated customisation recalls the brand’s Eighties style giving the final shoe the feel of a cult object. The collection is completed with a limited run of two new models in acetate by Blauer Eyewear sunglasses. One is a folding version of the classic, timeless shape and the other is a cat eye model for a retro feel. Both have been updated with a modern look and produced in four and six colourways respectively. And of course the collection wouldn’t be complete without the customised Blauer USA mirror lens version. The glasses cases will also be ‘branded’ for this special occasion.
