If wool is a wonder, Loden is a miracle. It comes from the Austrian village of Loderers, and what makes it different is its dense knit and, when you're talking about Ibex wool, its processing. We use a cold-water process that protects the fiber's natural lanolin. The result is a beautiful, breathable, naturally water- and stain-resistant fabric that pretty much lasts forever. Don't think of our Ibex Loden pieces as clothes. Think of them as part of your children's inheritance. Relaxed vest perfection in our mid-weight Austrian Loden.
