The Overcoat Thread

[hhhikikomori]

Hey all! Looking for some guidance in choosing a nice warm tweed balmacaan coat. I really love the Corb II from Coherence and have been lucky enough to try it out here in person, but I'm not super keen on their current tweed fabric offerings. The fabric of theirs I love the most was only offered as a limited option for their 5th anniversary back in 2019, so that's not really feasible as an option anymore.

I really love the look of a neppy Donegal tweed, but even some flecks in another tweed pattern are good enough for me! I've been deciding between the Wythe Raglan Wool Overcoat and Drake's Wool Raglan Coat, as I appreciate the slouchy and casual cut of these coat, as well as their subtle details. Their textural fabric offerings are definitely more up my alley as well! Are there any other coats out there that fit this bill? Trying to weigh my options before making an investment.

Depends on what kind of stylization you prefer. Wythe is roomier and more workwear/westernwear inspired while the Drakes is slimmer, shorter, and more 2010s #menswear. Which one complements your closet better is something only you can answer.

Not exactly your specs but an option in Japan at a fraction of the price of the ones you listed. I have the brown herringbone and it is warm enough for Tokyo, layered of course. Harris tweed, made in Japan, raglan balmacaan. No patch pockets and fabric is not coat-specific. I've had mine for 3 seasons and am quite satisfied.

That looks like the quintessential Balmacaan coat.
