Greetings gentlemen,
I am looking for suggestions on purchasing a raglan balmacaan coat that has a belt and is made of 20 oz donegal herringbone tweed.

i realize this is very specific, so any recommendations on MTM or CMT options are welcome. I am not sure where I could even purchase this cloth. Here’s an example of what I am looking for.

Spier and Mackay had a balmacaan like that last year for FW, but they are not bringing one out this year. However, I believe you can MTO a balmacaan either very soon or already via their MTO section. They should have a few Zanieri herringbone tweeds to choose from.

I have that exact tweed material in my classifieds. Slightly different style , but the tweed is identical.
coat weighs an absolute ton. = https://imgur.com/a/wsruoPG

Otherwise id recomend Magee , everyone else uses their tweed material anyway.

Also i love the cut of SEH kelly

Its good to see someone chasing tweed over a biker , i can definitely help you there.
I come across a lot of tweed in my search for good vintage.
Plus , if you do choose a coat from europe i can help you avoid custom charges if they apply , something that is usually the decider for me.

Not even sure that many makers are going to specify the weight, so knowing for sure it's 20 oz. may be difficult. I bought the SEH Kelly in Bark Brown. I do like grey better, but I have numerous heavy grey coats and thought that brown made sense for my wardrobe.

Thank you! This might be exactly what I am looking for.
