President Pavel visits primary school and flannel shirt company in Olomouc Region

President Petr Pavel and his wife Eva spent the morning of their second day in the Olomouc Region visiting a primary school and a clothing company named Woox that makes flannel shirts. President Pavel's flannel shirts became iconic during his election campaign and as a result, the company's orders for the clothing item increased sharply, the company's co-owner Petr Vaculík told the Czech News Agency. After President Pavel gifted Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová a Woox flannel shirt, the company's website reportedly crashed.

After visiting Woox, President Pavel also paid a visit to a primary school in Vápenná, after having received a letter of personal invitation from the children after his election in January. The small primary school has never received such a distinguished guest, school director Zdeněk Hořava told the Czech News Agency.

The president is scheduled to have lunch with two local mayors and then visit the Paper mill in Velké Losiny, a historic mill founded in the late 16th century that still manufactures handmade paper to this day. He will end his trip with a debate with members of the Ground Forces Command in Olomouc.
