Texled Items
The name Texled is an amalgamation of the German words for Textile and Leather...Textil + Leder = Texled. We created this in 2012 as a product line name for the reproduction German uniforms we were manufacturing as well as the then new line of field equipment. Both were intended to be the best quality one could produce in the 21st Century.
Ten years on, the garments have been discontinued due to the extreme cost. However, gear and boots have thrived.
"Texled" items are the best quality we have to offer. Many are made using a high percentage of American or European materials. A few even use original WWII parts. Most are assembled overseas due to the immense labor time required to manufacture the Axis boots and equipment.
Occasionally another company uses the name on their products, but they are not the same thing at all. We do not wholesale these items and none of the manufacturers or subcontractors offer them online since we control the raw materials.
To be fair, here is a translation of a part of the article Arsenal45 linked to (Texled did exist pre 1945):
The Gesellschaft für Textil- und Lederverwertung mbH, Texled for short, was a German prisoner enterprise of the Waffen-SS during the National Socialist era. It operated workshops in the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where female concentration camp prisoners were forced to perform forced labor by manufacturing textiles. In 1944, the company was renamed Deutsche Textil und Bekleidungswerke GmbH.
.... Texled was obliged to briefly take over the experimental factories (tailoring and shoemaking) of the general SS in Dachau and transfer them to the Waffen-SS clothing plant, which happened on October 1, 1940. From that time until the end of the war, Texled had only the production site in the Ravensbrück concentration camp, which was located in the so-called Industriehof. Texled eventually became a supplier to the Waffen-SS clothing factories in Dachau, which were also the only customers for Texled's products. Texled was one of the few SS factories that operated profitably. .....
