To celebrate the opening of our new Salzburg store, we created our version of a tracht or traditional Austrian / Bavarian jacket. Traditionally these jackets have been ornate, thickly padded and lined. We have removed all of that and created our version on the basis of our popular barchetta blazer. There are no shoulder pads, no internal structure, no lining, nothing. Shape and form is created through skillful cutting and sewing. The jacket is closer in feel to an overshirt than a jacket.
We have retained the practical patch barchetta pockets, of our blazer, which are also lighter and less bulky than set in pockets. The collar stand is low so that the shirt collar is clearly visible over the collar, and the stand and front are rounded, which creates a softer look and is longer lasting than a sharp corner.
The basic form, for us the essence, has been retained, without the schnick schnack as one says in Austrian. There are no extraneous details. This item is available made to order, and can be ordered by email, in store, or at one of our trunk shows.
