Background of the Brand/Fabric/Style/Era:
WALDBERG was a label producing traditional Austrian Trachtenwear during the 1970s–1980s. Known for its structured tailoring and folkloric motifs, the brand reflects the romanticised rural aesthetic popular in Austria and Southern Germany during that time. This piece draws on Tyrolean influences with heart-shaped buttons, strong shoulder lines, and floral embroidery. The cotton-viscose-linen blend gives it both breathability and structure. A true Alpine statement piece from the folk revival era.
