Sherlock Coat

Style

The Sherlock Coat is a raglan style overcoat, so named for its raglan sleeves which curve around the shoulder to meet the collar. This shoulder construction was named for Lord Raglan who devised the style to make a coat easier to slip on and off. When the Prussian collar was later added, the style became known as a Balmacaan - deriving its name from the Scottish estate where the two features were first put together.

Sherlock is the longer cousin of our Watson coat, reaching around mid-calf for someone of average height. This longer length not only makes the coat warmer and more practical in inclement weather but also elongates the figure. The fit is a tad slimmer than our Watson coat, but still full and relaxed with enough room for a suit or thick piece of knitwear. The short Prussian collar neatly frames the face, looking as good turned up as it does turned down. Large internal hip pockets are practical for everything from gloves and a scarf to a paperback and notebook.
