Knitwear with history – stylish and down-to-earth
Traditional knitwear is an integral part of Alpine clothing culture. Whether it's a warm knitted jacket, a rustic traditional jacket, or a classic knitted vest, these pieces represent a sense of local heritage, craftsmanship, and a style that transcends generations. At JAN&INA Trachten, we continue this tradition – with modern interpretations and lovingly designed pieces made from high-quality knitwear, crafted to the highest standards of quality, comfort, and aesthetics.

What makes traditional knitting special?
Traditional knitwear is characterized by its rustic look, natural materials, and classic cuts. Typical features include cable knits, textured knits, horn buttons, stand-up collars, and often contrasting edges. These elements are not only functional but also shape the characteristic look of Alpine knitwear. They combine warmth with style, authenticity with elegance—and this is precisely what makes them so special.

From the mountain village to the Oktoberfest – knitwear for every occasion
Traditional knitwear used to be purely everyday wear – today it's a stylish statement. Whether at Oktoberfest, an Alpine wedding, a church service, or as relaxed leisurewear with a touch of local flair: with a classic-looking jacket, cardigan, or vest, you're embracing a piece of living culture. JAN&INA's pieces combine authenticity with fashionable sophistication – ideal for anyone who wants to combine down-to-earth style with aesthetics.

Fine yarns for comfortable wear
Our traditional knitwear is made from carefully selected materials such as merino wool, cotton blends, and fulling yarn. These natural materials are temperature-regulating, skin-friendly, and durable. They ensure a comfortable fit – even during long holidays, hikes, or convivial evenings in the beer garden. Many styles are unlined and slightly stretchy, making them particularly comfortable.

Cable knit, stand-up collar & horn buttons – timeless details with meaning
A traditional knitted jacket is all about its details. Cable knits have always symbolized protection and solidarity, stand-up collars lend the look a sense of uprightness, and horn or metal buttons add subtle accents with a rustic flair. Our styles incorporate these elements—in classic colors like anthracite, dark green, off-white, or navy—and transform them into garments with character.

Unisex & cross-generational – knitwear for all
Traditional knitwear knows no age or gender. Whether for women, men, or children – our styles appeal to people who value style with attitude. Our classic Janker styles are particularly popular, and can be worn with both dirndls and lederhosen. We also offer robust styles with a high wool content and a cozy interior for the cooler seasons – a perfect companion for fall and winter.

Powerful combinations & versatile use
The great strength of traditional knitwear lies in its versatility. A traditional jacket goes just as well with a festive dirndl as it does with jeans. A knitted vest can be worn classically with a shirt and Haferl shoes or modernly with sneakers. And even over a simple dress, a rustic cardigan creates an authentic look with an alpine touch. Our styles are perfect for both traditional occasions and everyday wear.

Easy-care & robust – made to last for many years
Our knitwear is not only beautiful but also durable. Thanks to careful craftsmanship and the use of high-quality yarns, it retains its shape, is resistant to pilling, and retains its color – even after many washes. Most models can be washed on the wool cycle or aired to keep them fresh. With proper care, your traditional knitwear will last for many years.

Produced with attitude – quality you can feel
JAN&INA Trachten stands for conscious, responsible fashion. Our knitwear is manufactured in Europe under fair conditions – with short supply chains, precise craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. Every button, every seam, and every pattern expresses our commitment: to create timeless pieces that connect generations and convey values ​​– rather than simply catering to fashion trends.

For celebrations, everyday life and special moments
Whether attending church in your hometown, attending a wedding at a mountain pasture, or simply taking a casual stroll through town – with a traditional knitwear item from our range, you'll create a look that exudes confidence, down-to-earthness, and authenticity. And best of all, you'll feel completely comfortable.
