Experience the timeless elegance of the Malted Barley Slub Donegal overcoat, crafted from custom-developed heavyweight tweed woven in Donegal, Ireland. This coat features rich hues of cream, brown, and red, along with classic details like a belted back and corozo concha buttons. Inspired by the voluminous polo coats of the ’80s, it combines contemporary styling with historical craftsmanship, making it the perfect statement piece for any sophisticated wardrobe.
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.
This coat is the real deal. Inspired by polo coats from the 80s when they were big and voluminous. Complete with all the bells and whistles you'd expect. Made in NYC from a custom-developed heavyweight tweed twill woven in Donegal.
