Men’s style: The three quarter coat with ghillie collar

What was the name of those tweed makers again?
I am particularly enjoying this series on different coats Mr. Alden. Coats is one of the few subjects in mens dress that I’ve had difficulty finding information about. If you are not already planning to do so, it would be great to see videos for all of the coats you feature as Benchmade-to-Measure outlining the various features and giving us an idea of how the coats look and function in real life.
Jim, the tweed makers were “Hunters of Brora.”

Since it is now squarely wintertime, I will be doing as series of videos on the various models of overcoats using my own production as examples. Cheers.
I am glad to know you find DWS useful. Cheers.
A very nice looking coat Michael…..I’ve also seen this style of collar referred to as the Prussian collar…..if you look at any photos of German general officers wearing greatcoats before and during WW I the collars are very similar to this.
Purchased a coat this fall from Dries Van Noten with a ghillie collar, it is also three quarter lengths. It is without a doubt the perfect coat.
