The quintessential Alpine Loden Overcoat. The "Tirol" was designed to help Austrian men comfortably get through the harsh winter while looking respectable at the same time.
Key features that have come to define the Loden Style were originally very functional in nature. For example the full length back pleat gave the wearer a greater range of motion which also allowed them to add layers underneath the overcoat without restricting movement. In addition, the two discreet slits sewn into the waist of the coat allow easy access to the pant pockets or cartridge belt. And of course, the Alpine Sleeves, (sewn opening in the underarm) also give the wearer full arm movement for climbing or hunting.
While you might not need these features everyday, they make the Tirol a truly special overcoat that will keep you looking sharp for many many years.
The overcoat is sized to be worn over-a-coat, but can also be worn over a sweater or blazer with room to spare. If you don't intend to layer, we recommend ordering one size smaller than your suit jacket size.
The coat comes in two size styles: Full or Regular (R).
The Full sizes are larger with 2" more space around the chest and shoulders for those who like a traditional loose fit with room for layering over a heavy sweater and/or blazer.
The Regular (R) sizes offer a more modern look but can still be worn over a suit jacket so there is no need to go up a size, just order your true size according to your chest measurement.
The coat comes with pleat holding thread that is easily removed by pulling on the top. Click here to watch a video demonstration.
