Description

The Camel Shetland Houndstooth Check Amedeo Balmacaan Coat by Fortela is inspired by balmacaan overcoats, which were introduced in the late 1800s in Scotland as countryside tailoring and remain iconic in a gentleman's wardrobe, produced in a refined fit and in high-quality fabric. This Coat is crafted in a 16 oz. Shetland Tweed loomed from 100% British Virgin Wool, with a shear "dyed in the wool" process that allows unique texture and tonal variations to emerge. It features a camel-tan base with a forest green, wheat, and espresso houndstooth check pattern. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, with improved aesthetics and detailing in an authentic, up-production take on the timeless original, known for its uniform-dress functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's renowned archives, it features signature elements such as a single-breasted concealed button-front, a rounded point collar, articulated raglan sleeves for a drape-focused fit, a center-back vent, flap-front welted oversized patch pockets, interior welt chest pockets, and a lower patch pocket. Drawing on heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this classically designed jacket is fully lined in viscose, has tab-button cuffs, a removable storm collar with a throat latch that can be stored on the coat's interior, and is completed with decorative engraved corozo buttons and felled seams throughout. The Camel Houndstooth Check Amedeo Balmacaan Coat will become that style-forward heritage hallmark informed by tailoring and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who balances his current fashion with old-world provenance.
