Our classic, with a cult status.
Anyone who has ever spent a winter`s night huddled in hide awaiting a passing herd of wild boar, their elegant trousers partially illuminated in the moonlight, hamster fur snuggly cosseting their skin, also aprreciates those trousers in hunting-horn tones. Breeches of Archduke John loden. Exclusivity, tradition, lifestyle. Craftmanship, luxury design and functionality, all in one.
Stitch by stitch a masterpiece. Inspired by a love for craftmanship, we imbue all pieces in our collection with the qulities of traditional tailoring. Some are inspired, down to the smallest stitch, by noble archetypes. Others, for their part, a looser interpretation of contemporary zeitgeist. Though always "old school" when it comes to painstaking attention to detail. Modern wearability meets the uncompromising expectation of quality. The common thread which has run through "Kleidermanufaktur Habsburg" since the every beginning.

What could ennoble a brand more than its own family. Alfons Schneider always had a true passion for the culture of the "House of Habsburg." For his wife Michaela, that also extended to hunting. They gradually assembled more and more artefacts frome the times of Franz Josef. Here a frockcoat, here a dress from the travel wardrobe of Empress Sisi, and there a photograph of an archduke in a hunting jacket. The faric of which a dream was made, ulitmately launched by the family in 1992 under te "Habsburg" brand. As a "christening gift", so to speak, daughters Katharina, Veronika and Anna gave the label the esprit of the modern lifestyle.

SALZBURG
Having an interest in the history of the Habsburg is one thing. Owning originals from that period, with some truly magnificient consequences. Holding the acutal pocket watch of Emperor Franz Josef in your hand feels like you are turning back time itself. And so it was, driven y a passion for collecting, one thing led to another. And to this day, this private collection has remained a constant source of inspiration.
Alles beginnt mit dem Stoff. In geradezu imperialistischer Manier werden nur die ausgesucht hochwertigsten Stoffe und Materialien aus aller Welt in unserer Salzburger Manukaktur verarbeitet. Cashmere aus der Mongolei, feinstem Samt aus Fischgrätleinen aus Italien, Lammfell aus Irland, Seide aus Indien und Ziegenvelours aus der Türkei. Das sehr kostbare Handwebleinen kommt aus dem österreichischen Waldviertel.
"A frockcoat is only as beautiful as its smallest button." A saying that clearly, holds true at Habsburger. All things-exquisite begin with the smallest element. In such enormously important details as hand-piped buttonholes, buttons of rare beauty, along with traditional tailoring skills such as rediscovered AMF hand-stitching and crest embroidery. Noblesse oblige.
True to the actual originals, here we present the emperor's new clothes. a collection of exquisite pieces which can be worn in society, when traveling, or for the hunt.
