Our Loden is the finest that comes out of Austria. Milled by Leichtfried, they are one of the oldest producers of Loden there is. This quality of Loden is produced with a brushed finish. This method raises and then brushes the fibres of the fabric once it is milled, which gives the fabric an incredibly hardwearing finish which also gives it excellent natural water repellency. This lovely fabric works hand in hand with our waterproof membrane to make a very technical field vest.
