Description

The Fortela x Division Road Granite Slate Fox Brothers® Twill Tweed Amedeo Balmacaan Coat is inspired by balmacaan overcoats, introduced in the late 1800s in Scotland as countryside tailoring and still iconic in a gentleman’s wardrobe, with a refined fit, drape, and detailing. This limited-edition Amedeo Balmacaan Coat is crafted in a limited bolt, heavyweight 18 oz. 'Somerset' Twill Tweed produced at the 200-year-old original Somerset mill by the world-famous Fox Brothers® using the finest 100% British Merino Wool in a highly worsted, suiting-grade fabric engineered for the outdoors. Since 1772, Fox Brothers has produced top-tier textiles used in many applications, from Savile Row tailoring to British Military garments. By sourcing the best fibers from around the world and using intensive hand-driven milling and cording processes, they produce fabrics of the highest grade, combining comfort, density, and durability in one. This incredibly flexible, robust cloth comes in a natural palette that reflects the Devon countryside meeting the Exmoor wilderness it's designed to confront, and boasts a complex twill weave in shades of granite, charcoal, and slate grey for a sophisticated aesthetic and luxuriously textured finish. 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 large interior lower patch pocket. Drawing on heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this classically designed jacket is fully lined in viscose, features tab-button cuffs, a removable storm collar with a throat latch that can be stored in the coat's interior, and is finished with espresso genuine horn buttons and felled seams throughout. The Fortela x Division Road Fox Brothers® Twill Tweed Amedeo Balmacaan Coat is a style-forward, heritage hallmark informed by militaria and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who curates his wardrobe with true rarities made with old-world provenance.
