Made for the Alpine Mountains of Germany and Austria, Loden coats are a traditional wool coat. Designed as a functional garment in its earliest days, the loden coat is renowned for its weather-resistant properties, keeping out the cold, wind, rain, and snow of harsh winters, with the longer, fur-like nap of the plush material angled down to quickly shed rain and snow. The fabric’s structure regulates the temperature of the body to manage extreme cold. Meanwhile, the sturdy rustic, yet refined, form keeps the wearer looking stylish while also staying warm. From what I can tell, this coat dates to the 1960's. - Collarless, round neck - Three large, braid-covered buttons - Wide, 3/4 or bracelet length sleeves - perfect for showing off chic leather gloves! - Satin lining - Pockets - Made in Western Germany by Loden King - European size 38, which is approximately a M/8.
