!!!Loden

Loden, durable carded yarn cloth, made of (half) wool, in Austria used 
in particular for the manufacture of traditional costumes. 
Predominantly small-scale Loden-fulling mills (Styria, Tirol) with a 
century-long tradition, has developed into an important, 
export-oriented industry, which produces hats, jackets, woolen coats 
("Hubertusmaentel"), etc. At the same time, what was long confined to 
purely Austrian traditional costumes has become a versatile, 
internationally recognized fashion industry.
