Founded in 1948 by Bavarian tailor Ludwig Hohenester, ELHO became one of Europe’s most iconic skiwear labels. The brand helped shape alpine fashion through the 1970s–1990s with its innovative “Jet Pants,” bold freestyle silhouettes, and vibrant après-ski aesthetic. ELHO was even an official outfitter for the Winter Olympics and became synonymous with the neon-heavy freestyle ski culture of the late 80s.

Vintage ELHO pieces are now highly collectible for their oversized cuts, technical detailing, and unmistakable retro alpine style. Cord ski suits in particular are sought after for their textured fabrics, warmth, and classic European ski-lodge look.
