Out Trachten Cardigans and Traditional Knitted Waistcoats for Men keep you warm on colder Days

Our traditional trachten knitted jacketsfor men keep you warm even on cold days and complement your traditional outfit perfectly. In this category you will find classic traditional knitted jackets and modern traditional knitted waistcoats for men – made from high-quality wool, in timeless natural tones, and ideal worn with lederhosen, jeans, or chinos.

Traditional knitted jackets impress thanks to their high wool content, particularly in the cooler season. The wool usually comes from sheep, alpacas, or goats. Its firm material makes the traditional knitted jacket for men durable and a sustainable garment. The so-called wool grease lanolin sits on the surface of the natural fibre and is considered to repel dirt and water. Further advantages of our traditional knitted jackets made from wool are their breathability and odour resistance, which remain effective even after longer hikes. Since they are comfortable to wear and timeless, they are among the basics of every traditional costume enthusiast.

Eye-Catching Features of Our Traditional Knitted Jackets for Men

We set visual highlights, for example, through elbow patches, chest appliques, or the traditional cable knit pattern. Also frequently used patterns include rib, purl, and plain knit. Our traditional knitted jackets are available with either a round neck or V-neck; we also offer models with a hood.

To better regulate warmth, all our knitted jackets feature classic button plackets. Almost all models have pockets in which you can store your valuables during your next visit to Oktoberfest. Just like our traditional jackets for men, our traditional knitted jackets for men have a straight cut made from crease-resistant fabric. You can get traditional knitted jackets from us in the typical colours grey, brown, and natural.

Traditional Knitted Waistcoat for Men – The Lighter Alternative to the Knitted Jacket

A traditional knitted waistcoat for men is the perfect choice if you want more freedom of movement than a traditional knitted jacket offers. Thanks to its sleeveless cut, it fits ideally over traditional shirts and under suit jackets without adding bulk. Lightweight knitted waistcoats made from wool keep the upper body warm but are less voluminous – perfect for long evenings in the beer garden, in the festival tent, or in everyday life with jeans. Combined with lederhosen, a traditional shirt, and Haferlschuhe, a classic yet modern traditional look is achieved.

Traditional Knitted Jacket or Knitted Waistcoat – Which Suits You Better?

Combining Traditional Knitted Jackets & Knitted Waistcoats for Men

On cold days it can be worn both for leisure activities and for visits to the Oktoberfest, hikes, or evenings in the beer garden. A traditional knitted waistcoat for men is the lighter alternative and is ideal when you want more freedom of movement or when it is not quite as cold. Both options are suitable for everyday wear and can also be combined casually with jeans or chinos.

If you also have a matching traditional shirt, Haferlschuhe, and traditional knee-length socks, your folk festival outfit is complete. You can also round off your look with our accessories specially designed for men.
