Sherlock Harris Tweed 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.

Harris Tweed
Harris Tweed is handwoven from pure virgin wool, in crofts in the Outer Hebrides. The wool is taken from sheep with dense and springy wool, resulting in a resilient and robust heavy-weight tweed. Because it is handwoven, the weave is slightly looser than other tweeds, meaning the fabric has a natural movement to it.
