Description
Men's Traditional Austrian Hunting Coat
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 and extra ventilation.
While you might not need all these features everyday, they make the Tirol a truly special overcoat that will last 30 years or more.
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.
Season
The Tirol is unlined which makes it very versatile. Simply layer a jacket or sweater as needed. It is medium weight fabric, not heavy weight.
Features:
- all natural shell comprised of 85% Virgin Sheep Wool / 15% Alpaca Wool
- partial satin lining in the shoulders and sleeves
- full length back arrow pleat for greater range of movement
- button on/off chin strap
- leather buttons
- hand sewn in Europe
- milled by Pischl & Pischl in Italy
- alpine sleeves
- pants access via slit
The coat comes with thread holding the pleat that is easily removed.
Fit
Traditional roomy fit, which means it has extra room to layer. For a modern fit, order one size down.
Some sizes are also available in a 'FULL' cut which has an extra 2 inches for a very roomy fit, perfect for layering a jacket + sweater on very cold days in the field and still having ample room for movement. The standard sizes also have room to layer.
Sizes are US sizes. Order your regular men's blazer or men's suit jacket size for a traditional fit.
This coat comes in 3 lengths designated by the letter R,S or L after the chest size.
R = regular length, typically fine for men between 5'8" - 6'2"
L = long, has an extra ~1.5" in the sleeve for very tall or lanky figures
S = short, sleeves are ~1.5" shorter for shorter or stockier figures
