［~80's］HOFER Tyrolean Wool Jacket
Circa 1980s, a HOFER Tyrolean wool jacket.
HOFER is an Austrian brand renowned for its Tyrolean jackets.
During the 1980s, these pieces gained popularity among the French Ivy community in Paris, which subsequently sparked their import by Japanese select shops, where they enjoyed considerable acclaim.
The brand itself ceased operations around 2000, meaning HOFER's Tyrolean jackets will never be produced again. Everything currently in circulation represents the final inventory.
Though scarce now, pieces remain available.
In a few years, they will likely become nearly impossible to find.
What, then, is a Tyrolean jacket?
The Tyrolean jacket is a traditional garment from the Tyrol region of Austria, famously worn by Princess Diana of England. It emerged from the alpine heritage of this snow-bound region.
To withstand the sub-zero winters of Tyrol, the fabric employs boiled wool—a process where wool is dampened, then heat-shrunk to achieve high density. This creates a tightly-woven material with exceptional insulation and wind resistance.
Constructed entirely of wool, HOFER's Tyrolean jackets are distinguished by their soft, lofty hand-feel—a tactile reminder of working with natural fiber in its truest form. They are, quite simply, irreplaceable.
The buttons themselves deserve mention. HOFER employed a distinctive two-sided coin-like metal button—functioning rather like a change button. This allows the buttons to be swapped, rendering the jacket genderless and wearable by anyone.
HOFER's Tyrolean jackets were produced in numerous colorways, contributing to their enduring appeal and the variety of pieces still in circulation.
This example presents itself in navy.
HOFER's Tyrolean jackets are defined by restrained detailing—a clean, gently rounded shawl collar and modest front pockets placed at the hem. Nothing superfluous.
This particular piece carries navy as its base, with green piping throughout.
While vibrant, richly colored Tyrolean jackets certainly hold their own, there is something equally compelling about a restrained palette—one that integrates more seamlessly into a contemporary wardrobe.
No size marking is present, yet the actual measurements suggest a golden proportion for the Japanese frame—one that will suit a wide range of builds.
The condition is notably clean, free of prominent soiling, creasing, or the moth damage typical to stored wool. There are no significant structural flaws that would impair wear.
Should you be searching for a true lifetime piece in a Tyrolean jacket, HOFER is where to begin.
Interest in the brand has intensified of late. Acquisition is advised, regardless of season, should an example arise. If you have been searching, consider this an opportunity.
