Blazers and Jankers
One of the most traditional jackets in the world, also known as Yanker, is a fusion of style and tradition. Yankers are ideal for men who appreciate a classic look. These blazers are exquisitely embroidered and are handmade to provide both style and comfort. Traditional blazers are for those who are as passionate about tradition as they are about fashion and are willing to get the best quality.
At Ronja & Birk, you can find traditional outfits from the best-known fashion brands from Austria, Germany and Italy.The traditional Alpine fashion called Tracht is very popular at the moment. Not only older men, but also young boys, fascinated by this unique fashion, on many occasions wear lederhosen, a traditional shirt and a stylish traditional jacket. Yankers are hip-length jackets with colour contrasting elements. They have a straight cut and have metal or horn buttons, and are usually made of sheep's wool, which makes them breathable and very comfortable. They usually come in the traditional colours of green, brown and grey, but are also offered in many other colours such as red, blue or natural. Also available with a pattern or with a wear effect.This makes the Yanker a modern piece of clothing that can be matched with many other clothes and accessories, which lets it be worn as an everyday jacket as well.
The term Janker was used in the Alpine region as early as the 16th century. It was a name of a ladies' coat reaching to the floor. The Janker was used as workwear from the 18th century. This led to many different variations of this piece of clothing - depending on the regions. You can recognise from which region the Janker originates by the type of cut, colour and fabrics. Nowadays, the Yanker is used not only to cultivate tradition - it has become a trendy fashion item.
Under the Yanker should be worn a traditional waistcoat and a shirt.Therefore, you should put a great care into choosing a Janker that is not too small. Of course, traditional socks and shoes should not be missed in order to complete the styling.As Yankers are also great for everyday wear, men like to pair them with jeans.
At Ronja & Birk you can find many kinds of traditional jackets, always of high quality.Jackets made of pure linen in a classic cut are incredibly lightweight and perfect for the summer. In colder seasons, most men prefer Yankers made of pure wool, which is a great temperature-regulating fibre, making the jacket ideal for both summer and winter. Thick Yankers are made of loden. These made of natural leather or the well-known loden fabric are the right choice for any weather. All jackets have the typical elements of traditional costume, without which they would not be accepted by connoisseurs: the deer horn buttons, the front pockets with piping, the inverted back pleat. These jackets have everything you need to look perfect.
