Houndstooth Balmacaan Coat

$3,295

The balmacaan coat, named after Balmacaan House in Scotland, offers a softer silhouette with its raglan sleeves and relaxed fit, making it ideal for those seeking comfort without compromising style. This particular model, designed by our good friend Brian Sacawa of He Spoke Style fame, breathes new life into a nearly forgotten outerwear classic. Traditionally, the balmacaan is a long, loose-fitting coat crafted from thick gabardine or heavy tweed, distinguished by its raglan sleeves, Prussian collar, and concealed button closures that extend to the neck.

This version, made from a large houndstooth-patterned fabric by W. Bill, remains faithful to the original design while introducing modern touches. We’ve slightly shortened the length to fall just below the knee for a more contemporary look and added a quilted Thinsulate lining for added warmth. The coat also includes two outer pockets, two inner pockets, a single vent, and buttoned throat and sleeve tabs, enhancing both its functionality and style.
