Trachten jackets for men: the ultimate companion to lederhosen
The traditional jacket for men, also known as a “Janker,” is a distinctive form of a blazer primarily worn in Bavaria and Austria. Trachten jackets are characterized by their lack of a standard collar or by featuring a stand-up collar, as well as their traditional horn or metal buttons. Other notable details include a rear strap, an inverted pleat at the back, and front pockets. The straight-cut design is another defining feature of classic Trachten jackets.
Our men’s Trachten jackets are of the highest quality and can be worn with both Lederhosen with suspenders and a belt or casually in the office and during leisure time over a checkered shirt. With this jacket, you’ll always be on trend! Our Trachten jackets are suitable for both younger and older wearers, and we offer them in a wide range of sizes, including larger sizes. At MOSER Trachten, we proudly present a diverse selection of Trachten jackets, men’s blazers, and loden jackets from renowned brands such as Edelheiss, Steinbock, Kaiseralm, Stockerpoint, and our own MOSER brand.
Loden Jackets for Men: Unique Features
The loden jacket for men is made from natural wool, usually sourced from sheep’s fleece. The wool undergoes a special felting process, where it is repeatedly pressed while wet until it becomes a dense, durable fabric. This unique technique makes loden an excellent functional fabric, giving it high density and resilience. As a result, loden fabric is widely used in workwear and outdoor clothing. In Alpine regions, it is particularly popular for hunting attire and traditional Trachten jackets. That’s why our loden jackets for men come in classic colors like gray, brown, and forest green, which can be effortlessly combined with our shirts and men’s Trachten shirts.
Our Trachten jackets made from loden feature several functional advantages, similar to modern performance clothing. Here are the key benefits of a loden jacket:
- Water-repellent
- Windproof
- Dirt-resistant
- Breathable
- Durable
- Wrinkle-free
