Coat, made in London, with a heavy (26oz) and heavily textured tweed from the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland — ostensibly a mix of grey and black, but with so much more besides — and horn buttons from the Cotswolds.
Sizing
The balmacaan fits true to size, and thus the mannequin here — so perfect a 40 he has it branded on his chest — is wearing a size M.
XS | S | M | L | XL | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
To fit chest | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 |
Pit-to-pit | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
Waist | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 |
Sweep | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 |
Back length | 41½ | 41¾ | 42 | 42¼ | 42½ |
Sleeve from centre-back | 34 | 34½ | 35 | 35½ | 36 |
The method of sleeve construction, with the sleeve cut as one continuous panel from neck to cuff, means the shoulders accommodate and drape smoothly over human contours of every shape and size — rendering a shoulder measurement both impossible and irrelevant.

So they say
Thoroughly astounded to have received the balmacaan in less than a day! Size XL is perfect on me, I’m very glad about it. The garment is on a whole other level. Thick and rough as I like, yet light and fluid in motion. It is so beautifully made, from the cloth, an absolute marvel of no-fuss weaving, to the cut that melds classical timelessness with functional modernism to stunning effect. Undeniably the sturdy and stylish paragon of a balmacaan I was after.
Let me tell you — the balmacaan is a work of art. From the texture and colour to the drape of the whole piece, it is so thoughtfully put together that every wear is a pleasure!
The coat is wonderful. I have in my time worn [list of established British coat-makers] and, in their prime, [another very notable British coat-maker] and none hold a candle to this. It is lightweight, has a great hand and texture, its fit is perfect for me, and so is its cut. Thank you very much. It also arrived beautifully boxed and intact.
The balmacaan arrived yesterday, intact, beautifully wrapped and boxed. It is beautiful and fits perfectly. Over a suit with cell phone, stethoscope, and assorted EDC gear on board, it is comfortable and not baggy. And the fabric is amazing. A soft hand and drape but seems as if it will wear forever. Love the Donegal slubs, too. I often wear a popped collar — a throwback to my preppy days — and the collar here really pops. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you again for you great service and superior craftsmanship.
I have gotten the urge to advance further into the world of well-dressed people, and I was one of the lucky people who got their hands on the sturdy balmacaan in Ventile Canvas.
The balmacaan has arrived. It is beautiful.
I have received the tweed balmacaan and it is even more beautiful than I remembered. Thank you very much again.
I'm very pleased — it's beautifully made and detailed.
I thought I'd let you know that I'm really pleased with my balmacaan. I've already given it a couple wears despite the weather being a bit chilly, and I love it. The fit and cut is wonderful — modern and classic at the same time, great silhouette and a perfect collar. And the fabric is great, looks and feels lovely, and the way it creases, especially up and down the arms, is amazing. I imagine it ageing very well. A proper rain coat. I'm eagerly anticipating a rainy spring.
