Schladminger

It is more than just a piece of loden: The Schladminger Janker is a piece of tradition, a piece of home, a piece of clothing culture.

The Schladminger is an Austrian cultural asset that has been worn, treasured and valued for centuries in the Schladming Dachstein region. The raw material of this janker is 100% virgin wool. The loden of the Schladminger Janker (jacket) still gets its characteristic mottling by fulling on the original hammer mill of 1888 and is also characterized by its green loden accents and original stag horn buttons. A Schladminger is often passed down through generations and is still an absolute must-have for gentlemen of the region.
