Crafted from a rich, slubby wool fabric reminiscent of classic Donegal styles, this voluminous Raglan Coat offers both comfort and sophistication. Featuring a detachable throat latch and oversized scarf pocket, it melds practicality with vintage charm. The coat’s extensive length and luxe lining enhance its timeless appeal, making it a versatile staple for stylish layering.
From the brand: The Malted Barley Slub Donegal is our new development for this season and is particularly special to us. When the current family member who runs the mill in Donegal found a sportcoat from the 40s using fabric his relative helped weave, he knew he wanted to bring it back to Ireland with him. At last years development meeting, he was showing us the fabric and we loved the depth of color, yarn irregularity, and overall finish of the fabric, so we wanted to redevelop something similar in a coating weight.
The fabric development started by working with these little puffs of raw wool, called "pads". With the pads, we're looking at both final yarn colors, as well as the colors of the flecks you find in Donegal Tweeds. Through some trial and error, we landed on the Malted Barley colorway, rich with creams, browns, and reds throughout the slubby fabric.
The Raglan Coat is voluminous and allows for ease of movement and a great shoulder line. The collar is large (as all good collars are) and looks just as good flipped up to block the wind and frame the face as it does put down (strongly suggested to keep it flipped up though). There is a detachable throat latch for when things get really blustery (it comes stashed inside the front placket). All in all, this is our ideal coat and will serve both its first and likely a couple of owners after that.
