Balmacaan Coat

The Balmacaan Coat is said to have originated from a small town called Bunneys near London, England in the mid-19th century. Because wool repels water, this type of coat was often worn by gentlemen on rainy days. Then, from the early 20th century, like formal coats such as the Chester coat, it became popular among the upper class and established itself as an all-weather outerwear. Originally designed for gentlemen, the Balmacaan Coat was later loved by many women and was incorporated into women's clothing, appearing more frequently than other coats in advertisements and posters from 1910 to the 1950s.

Our design is different from the general Balmacaan Coat in that the back shoulders remain dropped, while the front part has sleeves similar to those of a suit. There is very little information about this special sleeve design, and it was only seen in advertising catalogs for men's clothing in the early 20th century. The advantage of this mixed sleeve is that it not only gives a visual three-dimensional effect, but also allows for more arm movement. When worn under a suit, it also has the advantage of being less constricting on the shoulders than a regular coat, allowing for more freedom of movement. In addition, the presence of a waist belt makes the proportions of the upper body look more harmonious, so this coat has a visually good effect on people who are not confident about their height or have different shoulder shapes.

The material is mainly brown herringbone tweed, and the fabric weighs 720g/M². It is a multi-colored blend, rich in color, layered, firm to the touch, and slightly fluffy. The colors are well-balanced and match well with slacks and denim pants of various colors, so it blends seamlessly into any outfit. It is perfect for those who want warmth and unique design details in the cold winter.
