The overalls are made of lightweight, tough dungarees.

Taking the tribal tattoo that Mr. Schiffmacher wears on his leg as a motif, the traditional ethnic pattern is expressed with delicate and intricate stitch work. The vintage-like texture of the garments is also characteristic of Mr. Schiffmacher's style, as they are damaged and scratched with hints of the overalls he has used for many years.

On the back is an embroidered skull with a smiley face that Mr. Schiffmacher found in Mexico. This motif is often used in his signature paintings, and the cute winking design brings a lightness to the rugged look.

Dungarees can be used for any kind of movement without restrictions, and I don't have to be distracted by my clothes while I work. They were originally made for craftsmen, but they were perfect for my work," says Schiffmacher. With its ruggedness and functionality as workwear, it can be worn daily without hesitation.

Like a second skin, these overalls blend in with the body, and the more you wear them, the more they become more comfortable. Wrinkles and wear and tear will tell the story of the wearer's life, just like a tattoo.
