The Permanent Style Donegal Overcoat

Private White V.C. · £1,295

A herringbone Donegal wool overcoat in black and cream, shown from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

A 790g Donegal wool overcoat with cashmere-lined pockets and a viscose lining, cut and sewn in Private White's own Manchester factory. 790g is a serious cloth: the weight you feel standing at a station in February rather than the weight you notice carrying it. At £1,295 you are paying for a coat that will outlast several cheaper ones, and for knowing exactly where it was made.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
