Jackets and Vests

Jackets and waistcoats are true all-rounders - functional and stylish at the same time. They protect against wind and weather, add fashionable accents and can be combined in many ways throughout the year. But which fabrics are best for lightweight summer jackets, warming winter coats or stylish waistcoats? Here you will learn which materials are ideal for every season and every look.

Summer jackets - lightness and elegance

For airy summer jackets, lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal as they provide comfort while still looking stylish. Fine woven cotton fabrics, light to medium-weight linen and soft hemp fabrics cool you down in summer and create a relaxed look. For more elegant cuts, smooth Tencel fabrics or silky shimmering cotton satin variants are perfect, offering a flowing drape with a refined appearance.

Transitional jackets - versatile and weather-resistant

During the changing seasons, slightly denser fabrics are needed that protect against the wind without being too heavy. Sturdy cotton canvas fabrics, firm denim or tightly woven trench coat fabrics provide structure and durability, while medium-weight wool fabrics such as tweeds and loden offer pleasant warmth. For sporty, casual looks, felted boiled wool fabrics, patterned boiled wool or soft merino wool knit fabrics are also excellent choices.

Winter jackets - protection and warmth

Winter jackets should primarily provide warmth and protection against wind and weather. Voluminous wool fabrics such as boiled loden or heavy coat fabrics are perfect thanks to their dense structure and excellent insulation. Luxurious wool-cashmere blends or soft wool flannel are also ideal for elegant winter coats. For extra durability, tightly woven cotton canvas keeps out wind and cold effectively and can be lined with cosy inner layers such as teddy fleece.

Summer waistcoats - light and airy

Waistcoats for warmer months are characterised by lightness and breathable comfort. Linen and hemp fabrics provide natural ventilation and are perfect for relaxed casual looks. For elegant waistcoats worn over blouses or shirts, fine cotton or silk blends with a subtle sheen and soft handle are ideal.

Elegant waistcoats - stylish and timeless

For refined waistcoats, whether for festive occasions or as a fashionable statement, luxurious fabrics with intricate patterns or fine textures are best. Wool-silk jacquard with shimmering details lends a touch of luxury, while smooth wool twill or fine cotton satin stand out with their elegant appearance. Lightly textured fabrics such as brocade or bouclé also add stylish accents.

Rustic waistcoats - natural and robust

For a rustic, nature-inspired look, sturdy, textured fabrics are the right choice. Coarse linen canvas, robust cotton corduroy or dense canvas give an authentic, grounded appearance. They pair perfectly with relaxed outdoor styles and combine beautifully with denim or corduroy. For extra cosiness, boiled wool fabrics provide both warmth and character.
