Loden
Loden is a traditional Austrian wool fabric that originated in the Alpine regions several centuries ago. Woven from sheep's wool, it is prized for its durability, warmth, and natural resistance to wind and moisture. After weaving, the fabric is fulled (a process of shrinking and felting the wool), resulting in a dense, weather-resistant textile ideal for mountain climates.

Originally worn by shepherds, farmers, hunters, and foresters, loden became synonymous with Alpine life. During the 19th century, Austrian nobility embraced the fabric for hunting attire, elevating it from practical workwear to a symbol of refined outdoor fashion.

Today, loden remains an enduring icon of Austrian culture. While still used in traditional garments such as Trachten jackets, capes, and hats, it has also found a place in contemporary fashion, where designers appreciate its timeless appearance, sustainability, and exceptional performance in cold weather.
