The clean silhouette of the balmacaan meets the everyday practicality of a classic trench coat and the warmth of a parka. The balmacaan comes to us from 19th-century Scotland, and is named for an area near Inverness where it’s thought to have originated. Houndstooth is a Scottish pattern, too — it earned its name because it bore a passing resemblance to (you guessed it) the tooth of a hound. Tuck your hands into the two welt pockets, and trust the quilted down interior and lengthy cut to keep you warm in the face of the elements.
