AUSTRIA'S OLDEST LODEN MANUFACTURER, LEICHTFRIED (EST.1884)
Loden, a specific wool variety woven in Tyrol, Austria, is uniquely characterized by its water resistance. Its manufacturing process ensures that water droplets bead and run off its exterior, while maintaining a soft, felt-like feel.
These specific technical characteristics answered the needs of shepherds and farmers living in the Alps, who routinely faced extreme conditions throughout the winter. Our specific Loden, made in Austria’s oldest Loden factor, Leichtfried (est. 1884), is of only the most durable and weather-resistant quality.
