ST1172-24
The Steinbock Garsten is a men's jacket from Steinbock, made in Tyrol, Austria. It is cut from 100% virgin wool in a soft, textured grey, and finished with the details that make an Austrian jacket: a stand-up collar in contrasting brown wool, closed at the throat with a buttoned tab, and buttons in natural horn.
Four flap pockets with horn buttons give the front its structure, and the chest pockets have a centre pleat. Six buttons close the front, and the sleeves end in two-button cuffs. Inside, the jacket is fully lined with acetate, so it slides easily over a shirt or a fine knit.
Garsten is a jacket for the days that start in the country and end at the table. Wear it over a check shirt or a roll neck with moleskin or cord trousers and brown leather boots, or with a white shirt and dark trousers in the evening. The grey sits well with green, brown, burgundy and cream.
Why do Austrian jackets have a stand-up collar?
The stand-up collar comes from the traditional Alpine jacket, worn in the mountains long before lapels arrived from the city. It sits close to the neck, keeps the wind out without a scarf and looks tidy with or without a tie. On Garsten the collar is in a contrasting brown wool, with a small tab that buttons across the throat when the weather turns.
What does size 24 mean on an Austrian or German jacket?
Sizes in the 20s are short sizes, cut for men who are a little shorter in the body and arms. Size 24 is the short version of a 48, and on this jacket the label also gives GB 34S and USA/CAN 38S. If you usually take 48 and often find the sleeves too long, a 24 is worth trying.
What does a man wear to a Hubertus celebration?
A Hubertus mass or dinner calls for traditional country dress rather than hunting gear: a wool jacket in grey, green or brown, a white or check shirt, a tie or a neckerchief, and polished leather shoes or boots. An Alpine jacket with a stand-up collar and horn buttons, like Garsten, is exactly what you would see in Austria and Bavaria on the day.
