One of our loyal customers is on the trail of the perfect Ulster coat to complete his collection.
The Case of the Fifth Coat.
Seeking a modern take on the classic design, the clues were everywhere and led to a coat made of a robust 25 oz, 3/4 in Grey Herringbone wool, by Dugdale Bros & Co. of Huddersfield, Yorkshire, makers of fine cloth since 1896.
It sported swelled edged stitching along the lapel and double breasted front edges. The patch pockets with curved edges was made with a removable pocket bag for ease in cleaning, in Vitale Barberis flannel for additional warmth. The collar is self faced as well for additional warmth and structure, allowing it to be popped and sturdy when the wind gets more chilly. To end the sleeves were 31/2 Turn back cuffs with functional surgeon cuffs again with swelled edges .
Inside was equally detailed for functional warmth. Kasha Lining was used throughout and several inner pockets were included, most notably a large scarf and glove pocket on the lower left hand side.
Down to the smallest detail, every part is treated with hand made care. Horn buttons, applied in a 2 by 3 straight alignment with a 3 1/4 inch overlap top off this classic design.
The search was over.
The evidence clear, the solution elementary.
