Visit this thread to discover the polo shirts favored by Styleforum users and share your own recommendations to stock your wardrobe with this essential staple. [BROWSE THE THREAD]( STYLEFORUM X EPAULET ALPINE LODEN PROJECT For centuries, Loden wool has been woven in Tirol - the mountainous region between Italy and Austria. This rugged cloth is often considered to be one of the first performance fabrics, as its finishing process made it uniquely resistant against cold and wetness. For this project, we've sourced an exceptional and modern iteration of this storied fabric: [Alpine Loden](. Its standout features include: - Woven in Italy in an 18oz blend of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon. - Compared to traditional Loden, Alpine Loden is lighter, more durable, and more wind resistant. It protects against light moisture from drizzling or snow. - It's very comfortable. Traditional Loden is quite coarse, and many wool-nylon blends are rigid. Alpine Loden has a nice hand and a wonderful drape.
