Description

A superb authentic vintage Austrian children's Trachten (Janker) jacket by Lodenfrey, retailed through Cosi's by Dschulnigg Salzburg, one of Austria's most respected traditional clothing specialists.

Expertly made in Austria from pure new wool (Reine Schurwolle), this beautifully tailored jacket features a classic double-breasted design with rich forest green Loden wool, contrasting black collar and pocket trim, attractive marbled horn-effect buttons and a fully lined interior. It is a timeless piece of traditional Alpine clothing, equally suited to Oktoberfest, Trachten events, weddings, celebrations, period costume or everyday wear during the colder months.

The embroidered Lodenfrey neck branding remains present alongside the original Cosi's by Dschulnigg Salzburg woven label, with further labels confirming Austrian manufacture and pure new wool construction. Dschulnigg has been a renowned Salzburg Trachten and hunting outfitter since 1946, making this a quality piece with excellent provenance.

Based on its labels, styling and construction, the jacket is believed to date from approximately the late 1980s to the 1990s.

Although no size label is present, the measurements suggest it is approximately comparable to a modern 5–6 year size. This is offered only as a guide, as vintage sizing and traditional Trachten garments can vary considerably. Please compare the measurements with a similar garment to ensure a suitable fit.
