Cloth by Marling & Evans | 750gsm British & Irish Donegal Wool

A definitive winter statement piece, this double-breasted polo coat combines classic British sartorial architecture with the rugged character of heritage Donegal Wool. Tailored with a generous, commanding silhouette, it delivers an effortless, statuesque drape that stands up to the harshest cold.

The Fabric: Marling & Evans Heritage Blend

Woven in Yorkshire by the historic mill Marling & Evans, this exceptional cloth is crafted from an equal blend of 50% British wool and 50% Irish Donegal wool.

• Substantial Weight (750 gsm): Dense, wind-resistant, and extraordinarily warm, providing an authoritative drape that holds its shape season after season.

• Textural Depth: Set in an oversized charcoal herringbone weave, the Irish Donegal wool introduces subtle, earthy flecks of color throughout the cloth, giving the coat an organic, tactile richness.

Key Tailoring Features

• 6×2 Double-Breasted Silhouette: Framed by sweeping, broad peak lapels cut with a gentle belly for classic presence.

• Action Back & Martingale Half-Belt: Constructed with a deep inverted box pleat down the spine and a tailored half-belt across the waist, offering exceptional ease of movement when walking or sitting.

• Deep Buttoned Center Vent: Maintains clean lines while accommodating natural stride.

• Sartorial Detailing: Finished with traditional turnback cuffs, deep patch pockets for easy hand-warming, and dark mottled genuine horn buttons.
