Christopher Plummer wannabes alert: kit yourself out Von Trapp family style at this 180-year-old institution full of handmade embroidered dirndls and blouses, capes, high-collared jackets and deer-suede and loden (a traditional fabric made from boiled and combed wool) coats. Modern variations share racks with traditional designs, but you’re likely to find more nostalgic charm in the trad stuff.
