The first collection is here: "All men are created equal". We chose this title to make something clear right from the start: "Men" in "Men in Benz" does not stand for "men", but for "human beings". And here we refer to a very important point in the history of human rights.
Sure, if you enter the word "men" in the usual translators, the word is translated as "men". But the fact that "men" also means "people" is best explained by one of the most important sentences of all time. Let's go back in time a good 245 years and give the floor to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States and the main figure of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. In the foreword of that Declaration of Independence, the motto is also written:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
We translate the statement as "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
A guiding principle that we not only live by, but also wear on our clothes. That's why we named our first collection after this sentence and dedicate the first drop to this idea. So there is much more behind Men In Benz than just a high-quality streetwear brand.
The MIB Globe Hoodie and the MIB Classic T-shirt feature the "All Men Are Created Equal" claim on the fine fabric. You can get both items as part of the first collection in our online shop. We MIBs not only embody an important message, but also carry it out into the world.
Both designs are made of 100% cotton. The MIB Globe Hoodie with front embroidery, back print and back embroidery has a fabric density of 400 GSM. The MIB-Classic T-shirt with front print is of course also made of 100% cotton and comes with a fabric density of 270 GSM. Drive it! Wear it! Live it!
