Steinbock for TLAPA (Austria) 80s, Melange Yarn Herringbone Tweed, High GSM SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos This Steinbock for Tlapa overcoat, manufactured in Austria during the 1980s, exemplifies a synthesis of alpine textile engineering and urban sartorial logic, integrating high-GSM melange wool tailoring with structural and climatic intelligence. Constructed from a densely woven herringbone tweed comprising interlaced charcoal, bark brown, and slate grey yarns, the outer shell achieves both thermal mass and chromatic dimensionality, its tonality shifting with the ambient light in a manner reminiscent of Invertere and Aquascutum’s heritage-grade outerwear, where weatherproofed wool compositions were developed in response to Northern and Central European climates. The weave structure is tightly modulated and industrially spun, offering neither the coarse openness of rustic tweeds nor the loose drape of fashion-oriented wools—its calibrated density more akin to the technical integrity found in Private White VC or the tactically constructed yarn balances observed in Frank Leder and Loop & Weft, where insulation and urban formality are inseparably entwined. Internally, the coat features a dual-material lining strategy that reinforces its bifocal design philosophy: a diamond-quilted panel at the upper torso delivers core thermal insulation through compressed batting.
