Our value and service are appreciated by a rarefied community of Alpine Lifestyle enthusiasts. Our inventory is stored in the USA making delivery to your door a matter of days, not weeks.
Our fabrics come from heritage Alpine mills like the Tirolean legend, "Pischl & Pischl", home of the Himalaya Loden. Or the Bavarian mill, "Gebrüder Mehler", whose fabric has been used in German Coats for over 350+ years. These mills and others specializing in boiled wool, preserve the centuries old wet finishing process (german: walken) essential for Austrian dress. Naturally, our coats are sewn with care and precision in Europe.
Beautiful for the eyes, soft on the skin, warm, durable and naturally renewable . . . it can only be: Loden Wool! While many have forgotten, or perhaps never knew all the benefits of natural wool, traditional Austrian clothing cherishes the fleece. King among kings, Loden wool fabric is the ultimate outerwear fabric. Simply the best. We stand firm against the tide towards tech fabrics because all natural wool fabrics are quieter, more durable, easier to maintain and greener than those oil based alternatives. Loden offers the perfect combination of feel good performance and style.
Originally relegated to Alpine herdsmen by imperial decree, the Loden style took a turn towards fame during the era of Romanticism when Archduke Johann, (the brother of the Habsburg Emperor), popularized the style in the 19th century Viennese Court. The Loden style and Archduke Johann are still celebrated in Austria today.
Whether you need a formal overcoat for business travel, a statement jacket for your next vacation or a winter coat for the next 20 years, the Loden style has you covered. Our timeless coat styles, exquisite quality, personalized customer service and our expanding selection beyond outerwear will make us a permanent fixture in your wardrobe. Try us and see why.
Traditional Austrian or Bavarian clothing, (Tracht) has refinement in its DNA, but style doesn't matter if the fit isn't right. That's why we offer an enormous - and still growing - size selection in our classic Loden overcoats and jackets. If you look for exceptional quality, fit and attention to detail you are most welcome here. We're ready for the challenge and won't disappoint.
