THE WOOL OVERCOAT
Our wool overcoat is inspired by the much-loved Balmacaan coat, named after an ancient woodland near Inverness, Scotland, where the style originated in the 1800s. The Balmacaan is traditionally long, unstructured, relaxed fitting and single-breasted. It’s a shape that pairs perfectly with textured tweeds and substantial wool cashmere cloths. We love the perfectly placed welt pockets, the soft shoulder line created by the raglan sleeve, and the generous cut that makes it a favourite year on year. Some say it’s like a blanket with sleeves. We agree.
150 YEARS OF MAGEE
Magee’s story starts in 1866, when John Magee travelled around Donegal buying handwoven tweed from local weavers. Many of these weavers split their time between weaving, farming and fishing. More than 150 years later, Magee is still a family business, with its weaving mill sitting on the banks of the River Eske in Donegal Town. Over those five generations, Magee has become deeply intertwined with the story of Donegal Tweed. Their cloths are known for their rich mixtures of colour and contrasting neps scattered through the yarn, a style influenced by the landscape, weather and long weaving tradition of northwest Ireland.
