Our men’s Poacher’s Coat is inspired by the overcoats worn by the rural working class in the late C19th/early C20th.
It can be ordered in three sizes: M, L or XL. Our current lead time is approximately 6 weeks.
Available in either Isle of Mull brown herringbone tweed or Japanese wool & linen (in a variety of colours), the coat boasts fine details: a piqué collar (it can be raised and buttoned to protect the neck), an angled breast pocket, surgeon’s cuffs, two front flap pockets and a deep rear vent.
Like the woods frequented by poachers of old, the coat has secrets – its fine Irish linen lining is beautifully block-printed with a trompe l’oeil hare, pheasant and eel. They are pin-stitched, as ‘invisible’ patches, into the coat’s lining and ‘hung’ from internal buttons. The block prints are available in a choice of colours: Black, Blue grey, Midnight blue, Raw umber or Venetian red.
The coat has a block-printed, patched maker’s label.
As with all our garments, this timeless, highly individual coat – the brainchild of artists Janet Tristram and Cameron Short – is entirely handmade in rural England. Consequently, it is imbued with a gentle, artisanal feeling.
*Please note that a coat made in Isle of Mull tweed is £1440 – Japanese wool & linen incurs extra cost.
