VINTAGE LODENFREY Rare Munich Alpine Loden Coat Camel Wool, 10/M

Vintage Lodenfrey Alpine Coat with Floral Lining Condition: Good preowned vintage condition. One button is missing from the right cuff; otherwise beautifully preserved for its age. Measurements (approx.): Pit to pit: 20.5" Length: 40" Shoulders: 18" Sleeve: 21.5" Waist: 40" No size tag--these measurements equate to a US women's 10/medium. (Note the sleeve length--this style was meant to be worn with gloves.) Founded in Munich in 1842, Lodenfrey became famous for its Loden cloth: a traditional Alpine wool fabric developed to withstand harsh mountain weather. Authentic loden is typically made from densely milled wool (often lambswool or mountain sheep wool) that has been felted and brushed, creating the soft, slightly fuzzy surface you see here. That process makes the fabric naturally water-resistant, wind-resistant, and extremely durable, which is why these coats were originally favored by hunters, equestrians, and aristocratic travelers throughout Austria and Bavaria. That contrast between classic Alpine exterior and vibrant interior is exactly the kind of craftsmanship detail collectors look for in vintage European outerwear. Modern luxury brands still draw heavily from this exact tradition, but authentic vintage examples from historic Munich houses like Lodenfrey are increasingly hard to find.
