As a teacher of needlework, she gave the highest marks for meticulous finishing and the best sewing.
Zimmerli-Bauerlin is also regarded as the founder of the Swiss knitting industry, having imported the first knitting machine into Switzerland early in the history of the company. The quality-oriented 65 year traditions of Kabbaz-Kelly & Sons Custom Clothiers and the incomparable century of Zimmerli of Switzerland provide the basis for an ideal marriage directed towards serving only the most quality-conscious of consumers.

The World's Finest custom shirts, Kabbaz-Kelly's signature item, sets them apart from the rest. Zimmerli, too, performs at the top of the field with their handling of fibers and knitting technology. Where most crafters of even very fine shirts concentrate mainly on packaged appearance and their bottom line, Kabbaz-Kelly uses only the highest count 2x2 cottons produced by Europe's few leading weavers. Likewise, where all other manufacturers of undergarments use "single" yarns, Zimmerli races to the forefront with only the finest, most delicate long rod-twisted yarns. What's more, Zimmerli actually mercerizes the fine extra-long staple cotton fibers two times! No other maker of underwear equals - or even comes close - to the comfort of their extremely fine signature fabrics, the Royal Classic single jersey cotton lisle and the famous Richelieu Rib which are produced on the proprietary, specially-built Zimmerli knitting machines.

Zimmerli of Switzerland's wide range of products are not regarded as the "World's Finest Underwear" without reason. Zimmerli uses the finest natural fibers - cotton, wool & silk - and today also top-of-the-line man-made miracles including the finest qualities of micromodal & lycra. Their treatment of these most wonderful of fibers gives definition to the words "top quality". Thus, Zimmerli of Switzerland remains exactly where they have always been - a small, niche-oriented maker of the finest undergarments and intimates exclusively serving the most quality-conscious of upscale consumers worldwide.
