Loden 100% Wool Cape. Camel Color with hood. I purchased this myself when I lived in Germany in xxxx. It is in mint condition since I never wore it in the United States. I've copied the description of a Loden cape below.
A Loden cape is a coat of Tyrolean origin, made of a thick, water resistant woollen material with a short pile, first produced by peasants in Austria. The fabric is derived from the coarse, oily wool of mountain sheep and has a traditional bluish-green colour. The name is derived from Middle High German 'lode' or from Old High German 'lodo', meaning 'coarse cloth'. [1]
To produce Loden fabric, strong yarns are woven loosely into cloth which then undergoes a lengthy process of shrinking, eventually acquiring the texture of felt and becoming quite dense. It is then brushed with a fuller's teasel and the nap is clipped, a process which is repeated a number of times until the fabric provides good warmth for the weight, and is relatively supple, windproof and extremely durable. [2] A subclass of the wools known as "Melton" [3]
