Western Topcoat Malted Barley Slub Donegal

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 Western Topcoat is probably our slimmest coat we offer, complete with a western back yoke, belted back, no vent, and a notch lapel. Notch lapel 12 different colored yarns make up our custom diamond ombre pattern Half belted back Top collar button closure Knee length and fully lined in a soft Italian viscose/cotton twill Ventless back Western back yoke Custom corozo concha buttons with top collar closure Large interior pockets big enough for a scarf and beanie Slim fit through the body and sleeves Made in NYC
