The Loden

Loden began in the Alps as a cloth for the cold, rain and wind.

Woven from wool, then fulled with water, its fibres tighten into a dense, warm and naturally weather-resistant cloth.

For centuries it was worn because it worked.

Traditionally green, grey or brown, today we use it in a much wider range of colours.

Our loden comes from Leichtfried in Austria, where it has been made since 1884.

A fabric that began with a purpose. We like to keep it that way.

our loden is woven by leichtfried, an austrian mill founded in 1884.
