Thor Steinar is a German clothing brand. It is made by Thor Steinar Mediatex GmbH. This company is part of International Brands General Trading, which is based in Dubai.
In Germany, this brand is often seen as connected to certain political ideas. These ideas are considered extreme by the German government's security office, the Verfassungsschutz. Because of this, the brand is often talked about in German news. Wearing Thor Steinar clothes is not allowed in some important places. These include the German Parliament (the Bundestag) and some state parliaments like those in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Saxony. It is also banned in several football stadiums.
Brand History
