In Detail: The Oliver Brown Austrian Jacket

With its 19th-Century Austrian origins, our Austrian jacket is a popular style that cuts a fine, streamlined silhouette. Although it's thoroughly Alpine in style, it's designed and manufactured here in the UK from a luxurious cashmere and wool mix. This blends to create a fine and sophisticated tweed that's as practical as it is elegant.     Characterised by its suede nehru collar and six-button fastening, the Austrian jacket was originally favoured by the political and social elite - particularly those who enjoyed countryside pursuits. But now, in its modern incarnation, the jacket is ideal in any smart-casual scenario and certainly smartens up your weekend looks. As with all Oliver Brown tailoring, you'll find it's made to the highest specifications with four-button working cuffs, a full lining, a choice of fittings and suede-trimmed jet pockets. And if you have a favourite variety of tweed, we'll happily make the jacket to order - just ask! Discover the Austrian jacket and other tweed styles in our jackets collection.
