Tradition Reimagined in the Raglan 

When the chill of Winter descends, discerning gentlemen turn to the most essential of wardrobe staples: the Raglan Overcoat. Among the pantheon of outwear, the Raglan stands head and shoulders above its contemporaries for its comfort, versatility and timeless elegance. 

The product of the Scottish Highlands' rugged charm and the enduring sensibilities of the nineteenth century, the Raglan was designed to maintain and protect the most dignified of outfits in the harshest of conditions. Favoured by Lord Raglan himself after the Battle of Waterloo, the coat's most distinctive feature — a sleeve that extends in one piece to the collar, creating a seamless shoulder line — allowed for greater ease of movement, generous room for layers and a striking silhouette. 

Two centuries later, the Raglan Overcoat is still a hallmark of the winter wardrobe. Embodying durability, the classic style hails in an array of textures and fabrics. The finest Italian cashmere, for example, can bring luxury to the everyday, perfectly blending the classic with the contemporary. Harris Tweed, inspired by the remote beauty of the Hebrides, brings the roguish spirit of the outdoors to the city. Wool offers a classic charm, beloved for its versatility. As adaptable as it is stylish, a Raglan Overcoat will effortlessly align formal and casual wear, whether paired with a crisp Oxford shirt and tailored trousers, or thrown over a lambswool knit and jeans on days off. The adaptability and intuitive elegance of a Raglan Overcoat makes it an indispensable addition to every wardrobe, doing the hard work for you in ensuring timeless style. 

Reminiscent of your favourite blanket in its enveloping warmth, the Raglan Overcoat offers a sanctuary on the darkest of winter days. Its generous cut offers space for every layer, whilst movements appear graceful and fluid upon its wear — whether you're sleeking through the city streets or trundling down country lanes. The absence of a set shoulder seam not only provides elevated comfort, but a clean line from neck to sleeve, lending an air of effortless grace from the moment you place it on your shoulders.  

In a world obsessed with speed and transience, the Raglan Overcoat stands as a testament to enduring style and craftsmanship. Not just a coat, the Raglan is an investment in quality and legacy, a nod to history, and a promise of warmth and elegance for Winters to come. Above all, the Raglan is an old friend, greeting you on a cold day. 

The SIRPLUS Raglan Overcoat is tradition, reimagined. The overcoat's rich heritage is woven into the texture of our history and the Raglan's, whilst subtle nods to the present embrace modern sensibilities. Our single breasted Raglan Overcoat is cut in heavy weight fabrics, with a soft viscose lining. Embellished with horn buttons, our Raglan features traditional sleeves, a rounded collar and adjustable cuff fastening, with two lower side welt pockets and two inside jet pockets. 

As the days grow shorter, let the Raglan Overcoat be your steadfast companion. It's more than just outerwear, it's a winter tradition for the modern man.
