Collection: Women's Bavarian Jackets: The Perfect Layer for Your Dirndl

Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Trachten Jacket

Welcome to our collection of authentic women's jackets, the essential final layer for your Trachten ensemble. Choosing the right jacket, or Janker, is key to staying comfortable and stylish throughout your Oktoberfest experience.

The days can be sunny and warm, but the evenings often turn cool, and a high-quality jacket is a must-have. This guide will walk you through the different styles and materials to help you find the perfect piece from the collection above.

Understanding the Styles: Blazer vs. Cardigan

While there are many variations, most Trachten jackets fall into two main categories, each offering a distinct look and feel.

• The Tailored Janker & Blazer: This is the more structured and formal option. Crafted from materials like traditional Loden wool or premium wool blends, these jackets are tailored to create a sharp, defined silhouette. They often feature beautiful details like velvet trim, peplums, and ornate buttons. A Trachten blazer is the perfect choice for a polished, elegant look that can easily transition from the festival to a formal dinner.
• The Knit Cardigan (Strickjanker): This is your go-to for cozy comfort and effortless style. Made from soft, luxurious yarns like merino wool and cashmere, these knitted jackets offer warmth and a relaxed feel. With details like classic cable-knits or modern oversized fits, a Strickjanker is a versatile piece that pairs beautifully with a dirndl but looks just as chic with a pair of jeans back home.

A Guide to Premium Materials

The fabric of your jacket defines its character, warmth, and feel. We curate our collection with a focus on high-quality, authentic materials.

• Loden & Virgin Wool: The gold standard for traditional blazers. This dense, high-quality wool is naturally weather-resistant, durable, and provides excellent warmth.
• Merino Wool & Cashmere: The ultimate in luxury and softness for knitwear. These fine wools are not itchy and provide incredible warmth without weight, making them exceptionally comfortable.
• Velvet: Used as a primary fabric or as a sophisticated trim, velvet adds a touch of modern glamour and a rich, luxurious texture.

The Almliebe Fitting Promise: The Complete Outfit, Perfected

One of the biggest challenges is ensuring your chosen jacket fits perfectly over your dirndl. A sleeve might be too tight, or the cut might not complement the bodice. Our "buy and reserve" service eliminates this problem entirely.

When you visit our Munich store for your dirndl fitting, you can try on your reserved jacket at the same time. Our stylists will ensure the complete ensemble is flawless—that the shoulders fit gracefully, the silhouette is flattering, and the entire look is perfect. This is the peace of mind that comes with the Almliebe experience.
