WHAT IS PASHMINA?
WHAT IS PASHMINA?
A subtle variant of spun Cashmere, pashmina, a perfect piece of art adorned in intricate needlework, is the cultural heritage of Kashmir.
Accessories made of pashm are known for their softness and warmth. The pure pashmina cannot tolerate high tension while weaving. It’s a rather gauzy or open weave. Pashmina shawls also shahmina in the Kashmiri Language, Their demand rapidly increased in the 1990s.
HISTORY OF PASHMINA & CASHMERE
Pashm history has been mentioned differently in different ways in different places. The word is popularly known as Cashmere in the western world. . Pashmina used to be the synonymous word of Cashmere until 2013 and is still not considered the same now as this has been given a significant indication mark.
Every cashmere wool is not pashmina. The original fine wool comes from the Himalayan goat’s undercoat, lives in high Himalayan regions of Kashmir, and some Tibetan plateau parts above 2000 feet from sea level where the temperature goes -40 degrees. The valley is situated in the north of India, East of Pakistan, and west of China.
THE ORIGIN OF PASHMINA
Pashmina shawls are handwoven in Kashmir, and it was also popular in Nepal. Still, with time, Nepal has lost its industry because of the Industrial Revolution. A pure form of hand-spun wool is not available in the market, one of the indications given to the Kashmir valley, which detonates its purity. For over a thousand years, this wool is for making shawls and blankets priced by royalty and ordinary people like its softness and warmth and long life.
For centuries, Kashmir has been the only place for it. According to the treaties that gave the maharaja of Kashmir exclusive rights to Tibet.
It is not only the coldness that matters in making this wool from the goat, but the altitude also provides the soften and delicacy. The best climatic conditions belong to the excellent climate of the Ladakh region of Kashmir. This wool has been admired for decades in the East.
The Western world has been reluctant to discover pashminas’ unique qualities. Today most of the pashm shawls are woven on the traditional looms in the Kashmir valley. One must not get confused about the traditional looms. When it comes to the weaving of pure wool shawls, these traditional looms are different from the handlooms.
Kashmir is the only place globally recognized for its products with geographical indication certification because Kashmir people use only traditional ways to make the original products.
HISTORY OF PASHMINA FROM MUGHAL EMPERORS TO HOLLYWOOD STARS
In recent years the silk and pashmina blend has become a western favorite, but that is considered not pure.
Pashmina is the most original and authentic fiber that originated in Kashmir hundreds of years ago. The art of pashmina making in the valley of Kashmir is believed to be as old as 3000 years. This pashmina art was admired and loved by the royal patronage. Pashmina was known by the king’s queens, royal families, and nobles all over the world. Not only Mughals were swooned by the mere look of pashmina, but the french monarch Napolean Bonaparte gifted a pashmina shawl to his wife, Josephine.
She is believed to have a collection at that time. Later in Rulers in Iran not only wear them but gifted them as apolitical practice. In India, maharaja Ranjit Singh was fascinated by pashmina so much that he decorated his court with hand-embroidered Art pieces and fabric.
CHANGTHANGI GOATS FROM THE LAND OF CHANGTHANG
The animal hair fiber of the Changthangi goat is a source of this handmade delicacy. In the Persian language, pushm means “wool,” but in Kashmir, pushm refers to the raw wool of Chanthangi goats.
This high need resulted in high demand for more raw material, so demand exceeded supply. Every spring, these domesticated Changthangi Goats shed their winter coat for a pashmina. In the molting season of spring, these tamed goats are trained to shed their undercoat naturally.
“Changpa” are famous people in the Ladakh region of the Himalayas as the traditional pashmina wool producer.
THE PROCESS & ORIGIN OF PASHMINA
From combing to the making of pashmina, the process is not only sophisticated but very delicate.
All steps start with combing the goat by removing impurities, aligning, spinning, and weaving to finishing; everything is carried out by specialized hands. Later, this raw material is exported to Kashmir. Srinagar, the old district city, has become the major center of pashmina fabric production.
This requires the weaver’s hard work because he carefully weaves the yarn on his traditional wooden handloom with his hand and foot. It takes 3 weeks of concentration to complete one pashmina scarf or shawl.
KASHMIRI HAND EMBROIDERY
By preserving the cultural prophecy of Kashmir, swoon-worthy edit features of slow-made Kani Jamawar shawls in breath-taking silhouettes is the epitome of elegance. Serendipitous collections of these handmade shawls ara depicting the long-lost art of Kani shawls, these heirlooms were passed down from generation to generation to preserve their cultural heritage.

Man up! There is no need to feel disappointed. Let’s make this summer all about self love, body positivity, and looking attractive with five simple rules of Summer.
RULE #1. EMBRACE YOUR BODY
Stay focused and embrace who you are. We men sometimes size up each other especially when we are surrounded by other men with better built up physique. It gets intimidating at some point and we start judging ourselves negatively. But the key is to appreciate what you have and accept yourself. Beauty lies in Diversity! There are men with different body shapes, colors and sizes and that makes a person unique from others. But if you still feel dissatisfied with your body and want to change that, Level up your motivation and stick to your workout routine.
RULE #2. PAMPER YOURSELF
Always exfoliate your skin with a body scrub during your sensual shower, allowing yourself those extra indulgent minutes of self-care. As your hands glide over your body, caressing and pampering every inch, savor the sensation of unclogged pores and the gentle removal of lifeless skin cells.
Remember, you are your own hero in this intimate self-care journey. So, when you’re ready to emerge from the soothing cascade, wrap yourself in a luxurious towel, perhaps one from our exclusive collection. It’s not just a towel; it’s a moment of sheer indulgence, a reminder that you deserve nothing but the best.
If you are planning to go out to enjoy some summer time at a pool or a beach, Don’t forget to apply a high-potency sun block to all exposed skin for maximum protection from harmful UV rays. You can also add some tanning oil on your body to get that perfect Mediterranean glow and a well toned beach body semblance.
Don’t forget to protect your eyes from the scorching sun. Sunglasses are essential for both style and eye care. Check out ZLCOPENHAGEN’s collection of bamboo sunglasses to add a touch of eco-friendly elegance to your summer ensemble. It’s all about looking good while taking care of yourself.
RULE #3. MANSCAPE MAGIC FOR THAT EXTRA SIZZLE
You wouldn’t want to resemble King Kong at an Avengers-themed party, right? So, before you hit the scene, it’s time to work some manscaping magic. Trim instead of shaving; it not only keeps you looking hotter but also feels more comfortable. Don’t forget the delicate areas, especially around the crotch.
And here’s a pro tip: Invest in a nice perfume to leave a lasting impression. Plus, ensure you’re sporting a fresh pair of underwear, just in case you happen to bring someone home. Quality underwear is essential, especially if you want to accentuate your jeans’ bulge and showcase your manhood. It’s all part of the ultimate manscaping experience.
Feel confident and alluring, whether you’re hitting the beach or heading to the hottest venues in town.
RULE #4. UNLEASH YOUR BEACH BODY IN SUSTAINABLE ECO-FRIENDLY SWIMWEAR
When it comes to selecting the perfect swimsuit, you’ve got choices that can either tantalize or exude an air of elegance. It all boils down to the style that matches your desires and the ambiance you’re aiming for.

BULGING MYTHS ABOUT MEN´S UNDERWEAR
BULGING MYTHS ABOUT MEN´S UNDERWEAR
Bulging myths…, You might have come across different opinions regarding different types of men underwear’s being not a “right choice” for most of the guys. But are those opinions actually true or just a stereotypical phenomenon about Men’s fashion and style. Here are some common myths about men´s underwear, which you might still buy into:
1. GUYS WHO WEAR BRIEFS ARE QUITE FEMININE
Many guys like to wear briefs for so many good reasons, whether it’s comfort, sensuality, or its unique style. Men briefs never disappoint in keeping everything in its right place. It provides your man package a nice lift and accentuates the contours of your body. According to The Underwear Expert, an online forum reported that 27 percent of men prefer briefs over boxers and 54 percent prefer boxer briefs. With emerging and evolutionary fashion trends, many men have started making bolder choices in clothing and accessories. Unfortunately, there are men in our society who still associate wearing briefs with homosexuality, and that’s why they need to break free from their fragile
masculinity.2. LOW SPERM COUNT DUE TO TIGHT UNDERWEAR
We all love nice fit underwear that compliments our body shape. Whether it’s a brief, boxer brief or athletic underwear, the tight grip gives absolute solid protection. Prior studies have shown that guys who wear boxer shorts have better sperm productivity than men who wear other types of underwear. In fact, it depends on your Hormonal response and temperature that stimulates your sperm production. Choosing a proper underwear may improve the results as long as the choice is made right depending on the size, fabric, and usability.
3. BOXERS HELP TO IMPROVE JUNK SIZE
This is a common misconception among many teenage guys that wearing loose boxers can help their tool getting strong and bigger. Sorry buddy, but that’s not true! Loose boxers are extremely comfortable for sleeping but not good enough in practical situations. Excess fabric riding up under your pants will make you adjust it over and over again. And believe it or not, that’s embarrassing.
BULGING MYTHS
Choosing the right underwear is only a question of an individual’s taste and personal style. It can not alter your masculinity or physically affect your body. We at ZLC have designed quality underwear stronger than these myths, manufactured with GOTS certified 94% Organic Cotton and 6% Elastane with a bit of stretch for softness, breathability, and an absolute fit.

THE STORY OF MENS SWIMWEAR
THE STORY OF MEN’S SWIMWEAR
Everybody loves swimwear because it makes us think about vacations or, at least, relaxing by the pool. We love swimwear so much that we decided to start a business in this particular niche, ending up with a store that sells men’s swimwear of all types and styles. Recently, we allowed ourselves to be inspired by the swimwear styles that were popular in the 1920s and 1930s, in Europe. Thus, our latest men’s swimwear collection follows these retro styles, a venture that made us want to know more about the history of men’s swimwear. Would you like to see how this particular clothing item appeared? Then let us guide you through the story.
FROM ADAM’S COSTUME TO COMPLETE COVERAGE
Men swimwear went through a lot of transformations, as the human society started to discover the shame of being seen naked, pudicity, and the term of “indecent exposure”. The ancient Greeks had no issues of this kind, as they are depicted swimming bare bottomed in numerous stone carvings. But, as we evolved, things changed a lot, and appearing naked in public areas was not considered just a shameful act, but one risked to even go to jail for displaying such courage. This is how the first notion of men swimwear appeared, as public bathhouses changed their rules and forbidden Adam’s costume. Thus, before the 1900s, men had to swimming in garments that resembled more a pajama rather than a bathing suit, as the clothing item covered everything from the knee up.
THE FIRST OFFICIAL SWIMWEAR APPEARED IN THE 1910s
In 1915, the swimwear of men covered them almost entirely. The suit covered their body, arms, and their thighs, having a length that was up to the knee. Although it was used for swimming, the suit was more like underwire, similar to the one that was worn during the cold season under the clothes. In 1925, things loosened up a little, as the swimsuits for men lost their sleeves and started looking more with tank tops. Just think about the fact that these swimsuits were knitted back then, so they were rather uncomfortable when it came to getting in the water with them. But, since there was no other alternative at those times, men had to play by the rules. Finally, the two-piece men swimwear appeared, composed out of shorts and a tank top, which gave men more flexibility, mobility, and comfort. Also, it became shorter, so swimming got a tad easier.
MEN BARE CHESTS STARTED TO BE ALLOWED IN THE 1930s
Luckily, in 1930, it became legal for men to display their bare chests in public areas, so the first shorts appeared, without any tank tops and other coverage in the upper body area. The shrinking process of men’s swimwear continued in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, when this clothing item got shorter and tighter, as people became more open-minded when it came to displaying their bodies in public. Better fabrics appeared as well, so men swimwear started to be made out of rayon, a fabric that was getting dry faster after being soaked in water, and spandex, which made the shorts mold better to the body.
MORE COLORFUL AND DARING MODELS APPEARED IN THE 1950s AND 1960s
In the 50s and 60s, the swimwear was already considered an important part of a man’s wardrobe, so now it had funky patterns and colors, as they were designed to impress. Also, bodybuilders and other men that activated in the fitness sector became quite popular, and so did their swimwear. They had very short and tight briefs, which were meant to show the well-sculpted bodies of men in all its splendor, so it wasn’t long until the Speedo model appeared.
BODYBUILDERS LIKE IT TIGHT, HIPPIES LIKE IT LOOSE
In the 80s, together with the movement of the hippies, a looser pair of shorts appeared and they were called board shorts. The image of relaxed men with their surfboards on the beach, wearing these shorts, won over a large part of the audience. The trend continued in the 90s when Hawaiian prints dominated men’s preferences when it came to their favorite beachwear. These days, you can find anything from the tight briefs to board shorts and boxers, which are, again, shorter and highly colorful. So, yes, trends are always coming back, in a cycling manner.
SWIMWEAR AND SPORTS
While it is called swimwear, these clothing items found other purposes due to their resilience, lightweight, and easy maintenance. Let us just think about strongmen, bodybuilders, wrestlers, and athletes. They cannot wear sweatshirts, not even a T-shirt during competitions because no one could see their perfectly well-trained bodies. Not to mention that when training hard and depositing a lot of physical effort, you also sweat a lot, so fewer clothes is always better in this case. Thus, no wonder that the swimsuit ended up being the ideal choice for a large number of sportsmen.
The singlet, which is a type of swimsuit for men that was popular back in the days, is regaining its former glory in our days due to its shape and versatility. It is not just great for swimming, as it also provides a great support when working out. It is thin and elastic, allowing a man to perform a wide range of movements. It dries out quickly and allows the skin to breathe, and, of course, it is extremely easy to clean and maintain. You can either wash it by hand, because it dries very quickly, or you can simply wash it in the washing machine.
- Our brand, our passion
As mentioned earlier, we love what we do because we want to provide items that are not just practical but also make you feel and look good at the same time. We want to help you enhance the shapes of your body, for which you worked so hard while giving you stylish items to wear that is made in a responsible manner. We found value and charm in retro styles and now we present them in a modern way in our newest collection, knowing that men always look for character in everything they choose to wear. So, explore the new ZLC men’s swimwear line and let your personality and style show by wearing top-notch items. We loved making them, we love the story behind them, and we are certain that you will feel amazing wearing them as well because we invested not just high-quality materials in each item, but also a lot of effort, dedication, and creativity.

Indeed, the benefits of occlusion training are enormous and for you to be successful in occlusion training you need to be equipped with the necessary materials that can facilitate a successful training.
This is one of the main reason why ZLCOPENHAGEN is established, to help people achieve the benefits of occlusion training by providing occlusion training materials at quite affordable prices.
WHAT IS OCCLUSION?
Bеfоrе going further with occlusion training, let’s take a look at what оссluѕіоn particularly mean: Simply put, occlusion іѕ actually a сlоѕurе оr blockage, аnd from a рhуѕісаl trаіnіng viewpoint іt ѕіmрlу has tо do wіth thе rеѕtrісtіоn оf blооd flоw wіthіn thе bоdу. In specific tеrmѕ, occlusion trаіnіng specifically аіmѕ tо gіvе enough of a closure or blockage to рrеvеnt vеnоuѕ blооd flow оut of thе bоdу part bеіng trаіnеd, whilst still lеаvіng that body part wіth thе аbіlіtу tо pump arterial blооd іn.
Nоt оnlу does this gіvе the body раrt an undeniable рumр, іt hаѕ bееn ѕuggеѕtеd thаt thе mеthоd could асtuаllу improve strength аnd ѕіzе dеvеlорmеnt even whеn lіftіng as low as 20% of уоur оnе rер mаx.
OCCLUSION TRAINING WORKS! HOW DOES IT WORK?
There hаvе been рrоfuѕе reasons laid оut as to hоw оссluѕіоn trаіnіng wоrkѕ, including the concept of ‘сеll swelling’, In which thе muѕсlе cells become ѕо ‘full’ іn trаіnіng that thеу еіthеr hаvе to grоw оr burst. Mоrе reliably, however, іѕ that оссluѕіоn trаіnіng wоrkѕ bу preventing thе release оf lасtіс асіd аnd other waste products from the wоrkіng muѕсlе grоuр. The rеѕult оf thеѕе рrоduсtѕ rеmаіnіng іnѕіdе thе muѕсlе is one оf increased muscular ѕtrеѕѕ, which in turn сrеаtеѕ a сhаіn оf hоrmоnаl responses thаt еnсоurаgе muѕсulаr grоwth. Going іntо a lіttlе mоrе detail, increased muscle ѕtrеѕѕ specifically ѕtіmulаtеѕ аn increased рrоduсtіоn оf IGF-1,(аlѕо knоwn as Insulin Grоwth Factor) IGF-1, unlіkе tеѕtоѕtеrоnе, is a grоwth hоrmоnе, аnd оnе of іtѕ mаіn funсtіоnѕ іѕ tо ѕуnthеѕіzе рrоtеіn uрtаkе bоth bу сrеаtіng nеw muscle fibers and bу асtіng tо рrеvеnt muscle wastage or ‘atrophy’.

Thеѕе tуре II fіbеrѕ аrе usually reserved specifically fоr explosive movements utilizing a much higher реrсеntаgе оf a оnе rep mаx.
Should thеѕе сlаіmѕ bе rіght, it therefore іmрlіеѕ that blооd flow rеѕtrісtіоn аѕ a trаіnіng method could hоld immense bеnеfіtѕ.

GETTING STARTED WITH OCCLUSION TRAINING
To gеt started with оссluѕіоn trаіnіng, аll уоu’ll actually need is a рrоfісіеnt аnd еаѕу way of restricting blооd flоw.

100 YEARS OF MEN’S SWIMWEAR FASHION
MENS SWIMWEAR DURING THE LAST CENTURY
Mens swimwear has definitely gone through a whole lot of changes during the last century, and that has happened only because we are evolving beings, that tend to seek for the better over, and over again. The first clothing item of this type ever, has been created in 1902, and it wasn’t even meant to be a swimwear, yet it served people good when it came to swimming, and the fact that the idea was born was enough for the industry to get in the spotlight.
Now, if a swimsuit, that was not even supposed to be one, was a good clothing item: how about a fashionable swimsuit, specially designed WITH people, and FOR people? Doesn’t that sound great, but also a bit unrealistic? Does it make you feel like that is what you REALLY want? To be the number one priority when it comes to what you are going to wear?
