Loden coat - Loden Frey?

I want to buy a Loden coat when in Munich in November. Is Loden Frey the best bet? I bought one there 20 years ago during the winter sale which I think is usually in January.

I read somewhere they have an outlet - is that true? I want a ladies long Loden coat - traditional buttons the works. How much should I budget for that? Thanks.

I priced the loden coats while in Oberammergau and Garmisch six years ago and the coats were between 300 and 400 American dollars then - I can%26#39;t imagine what the prices would be now. I went to a local flea market and got a gently used coat that was in perfect condition for 25 euros. I had to have it tailored once I got home and that only cost 30 dollars. So I got a fantastic deal!! The back of the coat is split so you can ride a bike in the coat like any other German lady!

I knew better than to buy in either town since the prices there are really high. I have no clue what the prices are like now. Good Luck! I love my coat and I hope you will get a great deal.

Definitely better selection in Munich, quite expensive...Otherwise, Ebay %26amp; others online also have some from USD 189; shipping worldwide..

Probably, if you want the original Loden Frey, buy it in Munich. Otherwise John Partridge in UK has some;

All large department stores will sell the coats you are after. Price varies on quality. Plenty of places around Marienplatz to chose from: Karstadt, Ludwig Beck etc etc

Hi calenita,

Yes, those coats are really incredibly lovely, -- but not inexpensive.

I bought myself a long one from a store here in Garmisch in the Spring, thinking I would get a good after-season sale. Ha! The coats start at about 300E and then go up. Brace yourself .. ..
