This is one of the best heavyweight fabrics that we have ever sourced. Woven in Italy, our exclusive Alpine Loden is exceptionally warm, comfortable, and practical. Your custom garments will offer years of faithful service, and they can be crafted across our full range of in-house styles and sizes. Each one will be made in the United States by Rochester Tailored Clothing.
For centuries, Loden wool has been woven in Tirol - the mountainous region between Italy and Austria. This rugged cloth is often considered to be one of the first performance fabrics, as its finishing process made it uniquely resistant against cold and wetness. Although Loden wool comes in many colors, it's most popular tone is a distinctly elegant shade of dark olive green.
For this exclusive project, we've sourced an exceptional and modern iteration of this storied fabric. Our "Alpine Loden" is an 18oz blend of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon.
Compared to traditional Loden, our Alpine Loden is lighter, more durable, and more wind resistant. It protects against light moisture from drizzling or snow.
And crucially, it's comfortable. Traditional Loden is quite coarse, and many wool-nylon blends are somewhat rigid.
Our Alpine Loden has a nice hand, a lofty feel, and a wonderful drape. You'll get all of the performance, and all of the elegance at a great price.
