Lodenfrey began in 1842 as a small Loden weaving mill in Munich, developing the cloth that made its name. Today it fills six floors on Maffeistraße, close to the Frauenkirche, and is still run by the family behind it. The Tracht section is the one people travel for, with lederhosen and classic-cut Tracht shirts, but the rest of the house holds its own.

The menswear edit leans towards Italian tailoring and luxury designer labels. Brioni, Zegna and Boglioli sit at the centre, and the men's floor offers made-to-measure, so you can have a suit cut for you rather than taking one off the rail. Around that you will find Brunello Cucinelli, Moncler, Etro, Stone Island, Polo Ralph Lauren and Windsor. Look for the glass-walled Glashaus on the first floor, which gives a view of the cathedral towers.
