Pre-order: The Donegal Overcoat

THIS IS A PREORDER DUE FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER.

THIS IS A MADE-TO-ORDER PRODUCT AND THEREFORE NON-REFUNDABLE.

The Donegal Overcoat is the most popular piece of clothing Permanent Style has ever created, born out of a need for a versatile coat that could be worn with jeans for a walk, or tailoring to the office. 

Says Simon: "Donegal tweed is so pleasing in the texture it creates, yet subtle. There’s slubbiness in there and colour variation when you look carefully, but it never feels as old-fashioned as a big windowpane."

Alterations

The coat is made to be easy to alter:

- It is cut a little longer than most modern overcoats, as Simon considers it more practical and flattering

- But it can easily be shortened by a tailor - a good 10cm without interrupting the balance

- It can also be lengthened if needed, by around 5cm

- The sleeves can also be lengthened by around 4cm. And they can be shortened. Shortening by 1.5cm would be easy - more than that would require the wrist strap to be moved, but that is not a big job for a tailor

- The body can also be narrowed, but isn't recommended, as the style is supposed to be roomy, easy to wear, and flow

Measurements

- Have a close look at the measurements below if you're unsure of sizing, and if in doubt compare to a coat you already own

- However, the coat is standard size, so take your normal size - roughly Small for a 48 chest, Medium for 50 and so on. Unlike the Bridge Coat, it is not slim in fit and there should therefore be no need to size up.

- Simon is six foot tall and usually wears a size 50-chest jacket. He is wearing a Medium.
