A balmacaan coat typically features a raglan sleeve design and a loose, straight cut. It is often made from wool and is known for its simple yet elegant appearance. The term “balmacaan” originated from the name of a style of coat worn by shepherds in the Scottish Highlands.
The exact date when the balmacaan was created is not well-documented, but it became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a practical and stylish outerwear option. It gained prominence as a fashionable garment during the Edwardian era and continued to be worn in various forms throughout the 20th century.
