Watson Coat - Belted
Style
The Watson 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.
Watson is the shorter version of our Sherlock Coat, hitting just above the knee for someone of average height. This classic length suits a variety of body types and styles. The fit is relaxed and comfortable, with enough room for a suit or thick piece of knitwear. The classic 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.

Donegal
A Donegal pattern is defined by speckled dots in the fabric, called “neps” or “slubs” produced by dispersing yarns in a variety of colours throughout the cloth. Named for County Donegal in Ireland, where this style originated, the pattern is now recognisable the world over.
