Perfect for all seasons, the Walker is made of 100% wool, woven like a knit and felted like a Loden. This explains the garment's lightness, natural stretch, silence in movements and its ability to not wrinkle. It remains extremely lightweight while protecting and regulating body temperature. This new athletic-style jacket is tighter in fit, has an elongated silhouette and is completely unlined for natural stretch and comfort in movement. The garment is entirely framed by an authentic natural wool-border, woven in Austria and features two lower flap-pockets and a chest pocket on the outside, plus an additional internal patch pocket to keep wallet or keys.

The first instances of this garment were discovered in official sales documents dating back to the Middle Ages, when a local Austrian craftsman started producing this special wool fabric. The Walker became an iconic garment, presenting extremely modern features to this day. Importantly, the Walker does not release micro plastics into the environment and requires little washing. 

The traditional flowers were historically used to adorn alpine costumes, and were worn by men only. Each village has its own representative flower. Today Rier offers flower embroidered garments made to suit everyone, freely.
