Traditional Jackets

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a janker?

A janker is a traditional Bavarian trachten jacket that ends shorter than a coat at the hip, has characteristic buttons and is made from wool blend or loden. It is available for women and men and completes the traditional look for cooler temperatures.

What is the difference between a janker and a loden coat?

A janker ends at the hip and is shorter. A loden coat is longer, covers the entire outfit and is warmer. For cool autumn events and traditional processions in October, the loden coat is the warmer choice.

Which janker colour works with which dirndl?

Dark green works with almost all classic dirndl colours – particularly well with blue, bordeaux and black. Grey is a neutral option for modern dirndl combinations. Brown works especially well with earth tones and warmer dirndl colours.
