What's So Special About a Landau Loden?

Authentic Austrian Loden cloth represents a legacy of tradition, craftsmanship and quality dating back to 1000 B.C. LODEN is a PROCESS, NOT A STYLE, FABRIC or COLOR. Strong yarns are purposely woven loosely into cloth that then undergoes a lengthy wet finishing or milling process. The process causes the loosely woven fabric to shrink by a full third, to felt and to become quite dense. The cloth is then brushed with thistles, teased and then sheared… a cycle that is repeated up to 20 times, until the desired surface nap is achieved. This completes the LODEN process.

The finished fabric is very lightweight, has a supple hand, is so dense it is water resistant, windproof and is so durable that it assures the wearer comfort and satisfaction for many years.

From the classic Loden Hubertus Hunting coat (shown at right), made of the traditional wool/alpaca fabric to the 100% pure cashmere Loden dress coat that weighs almost nothing, this is investment dressing that is functional and comfortable.

The first LODENS were work garments worn by farmers, shepherds and hunters to guard against the elements of wind, rain and snow. Function dictated that the wearer’s comfort and ease-of-movement were the top priorities.

Today’s LODEN COATS and JACKETS are all tailored with comfortable armholes to fit over suits and bulky sweaters, while retaining the original qualities that allow lightweight winter comfort, ease-of-movement, water and wind resistance and uncompromised durability.

We Invite You To Visit Our Store.

Although we would be delighted to sell you a Loden Coat (or Jacket) online, we realize it is very difficult to determine size and to differentiate fabrics without trying the garments on. If at all possible, we invite you to our Nassau Street shop, across from Princeton University, to view our entire Loden collection, to feel all the different Loden fabrics, and to try on all of our authentic Austrian Lodens.

If that is not convenient, we'd be delighted to help you on our Toll Free line at 800-257-9445 or over the internet. We invite you to explore our collection; see sketches using the buttons below. Our experience has shown that using drawings instead of photographs provides our customers with a much clearer look at the details of each coat, jacket, or cape.
