Salzburg traditional cloth

     Salzburg is famous for it's traditions and unique culture, connected to it's region called Tirol. Many citizens of Salzburg and those who live in Tirol region are following traditional style of clothing, however because of pop culture diffusion, people now wearing it mostly on celebrations, holidays or other types of traditional occasions. In the Old Town, many workers, such as horse riders, clercs in souvenir stores, etc. are wearing it to attract more people and to show tourists how typical traditional cloth look like. Old people are wearing cloth more frequently, as they are more into traditions than younger generations and are adopted to this style. This style of clothing made out of leather and high quality materials, so their costs are pretty high. Therefore, mostly middle and high class people can afford them.

     On the picture below, you can see how it look like and also notice the interior of the store and other types of cloth they are selling in this style.

  As I tried on the cloth myself, I can tell that the materials are expensive and made of leather, wool and detailes are hand-made. You wouldn't find the exact same item in the store. The prices are pretty expensive, The shorts cost around 200 Euros and the Jacket around 300 Euros. Outside the Austria, this outfit would cost much more expensive, as it is unique and would not probably be produced in another country, or even another Austria region and it be exported. The full set of traditional clothing would cost from  2000 to about 4000 Euros, depending on the season collections.

Below you can see a set of Male and Female Outfit that you can buy in the store. ( left is male, right is female)

   Such outfits have it's roots from farmers and hunters who used animal materials and through time it became a fashion style called "Landhausmode". Today, many designers have adopted the shape, texture and colors and combined them with modern trends. This clothing represents the national pride and appreciation of traditions and cultural heritage. 

Here is a picture of one of the stores which is located just in the center of an Old Town. People promotes the style and when you are in center, you can notice lots of such shops as well as people wearing them.
