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.
A REFINED CLOTH
Lanificio Luigi Zanieri opened their mill in 1952 and still carries out the dyeing, spinning and weaving all under one roof, giving the mill complete control over the finished cloth. What first drew us to Zanieri was the ingenious way they work with recycled fibres. They have developed specialist techniques for taking wool and cashmere waste, preparing it and spinning it into beautiful new yarns. It’s a brilliant meeting of old textile knowledge and modern thinking, resulting in recycled cloth that feels every bit as refined as the finest virgin wool and cashmere.
