Collection: Men's Bavarian Jackets: Authentic Style & Alpine Warmth

Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Trachten Jacket

Welcome to our curated collection of men's Trachten jackets. A well-chosen Janker is more than just an outer layer; it's a year-round investment in style and a cornerstone of a complete Trachten look. At an autumn festival like Oktoberfest, where a sunny afternoon can quickly turn into a chilly evening, the right jacket is a practical necessity. This guide will walk you through the key styles and materials to help you select the perfect piece from the collection above.

Understanding the Styles: The Classic Janker vs. The Knit Strickjanker

Our collection features two main styles of Trachten jackets, each with its own unique character and feel.

• The Classic Janker: This is the traditional, structured jacket, akin to a Bavarian sport coat. It is typically tailored from woven fabrics like Loden (a dense, high-quality wool) or durable cotton. These jackets often feature premium details like contrasting velvet collars and authentic stag horn buttons. The Janker offers a more formal, sharp, and polished silhouette, perfect for creating a truly classic Trachten look.
• The Knit Cardigan (Strickjanker): This is the versatile, comfortable, and often more casual option. Crafted from soft, warm yarns like 100% merino or virgin wool, the Strickjanker is essentially a high-quality traditional cardigan. With textures like classic cable-knit or modern waffle-knit, these pieces are incredibly versatile and look just as handsome with a pair of jeans as they do with lederhosen.

A Guide to Premium Materials

The fabric of your jacket is key to its quality, warmth, and authenticity. We focus on premium, natural materials.

• Loden (Wool & Cashmere Blends): The gold standard for traditional Janker. This felted wool fabric is naturally durable, warm, and weather-resistant, making it an ideal choice for outdoor festivities.
• Pure New Wool & Merino Wool: The finest choice for knitwear. These natural fibers are prized for their incredible softness, breathability, and ability to regulate temperature, keeping you comfortable without overheating. They are also renewable and sustainable.
• Cotton: A great, lighter-weight option, perfect for a more casual Janker that can be worn in transitional weather.
