Feltraiger is an American menswear brand inspired by the rebellious lifestyle of sects and subcultures of the 20th century. All garments are designed, sampled, and produced in America. Each piece is limited and produced in small numbers and all garments are hand numbered. Time is taken to hand stamp and dye certain tags and garments, keeping them limited, special, and authentic.
