Särmä Luhka

The good old "Laplander Cloak". The Luhka, or Luhkka, is an age-old poncho-style design that originates from the northernmost parts of Nordic countries. Very warm and comfy.

A simple and versatile piece of clothing developed by the indigenous peoples of the far north for outdoor work in a harsh climate.

Features

A clever little detail we added is the simple toggle button "cuffs". By closing them, a sort of sleeve is formed at the outer edge of the cloak. These help keep the Luhka in place and prevent it from flapping around wildly, quite handy when doing any kind of work with your hands.

The hood and the collar area are sized to fit regular head sizes. The head hole and collar are quite tightly sized to cover up your neck properly for wind protection. If you have a larger head, the neck hole might be quite tight at first. Luckily, the wool fabric stretches.

Made in Finland!

We used to make these for a long time under the Jämä brand from army surplus blankets and other materials we happened to find. However, the supply couldn't keep up with the demand, so these are now made from purpose-sourced materials as Särmä Luhka. Särmä Luhkas and Blanket Shirts are sewn in Finland by Kolmituote, Salon Seudun Työkeskus Oy.The fabrics are made in Italy. 

You may find used Jämä Luhkas on this page from time to time. If you don't see any, we don't have them. If you do, act fast. They are rare gems worth hoarding.
