Vintage Boiled Wool Jackets

Boiled Wool is an amazing material! Alpine winters are really cold. Centuries ago the inhabitants of Austria, Southern Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy learned how to make really wind and water resistant fabric out of knitted wool - they knitted it much larger and then cooked it in hot water until it shrinks to the right size - BOILED WOOL!

Not only do they make boiled wool jackets, but also boiled wool sweaters and boiled wool coats from this amazing fabric!

The following manufacturers are famous for their quality, tradition combined with the latest textile technology:
GEIGER of Austria, Giesswein , Original Dachstein, Sigi Scheibner and more!!!!
