Our Mackinaw Wool takes its name from the historic coats developed in the Mackinaw region of Michigan in the early 1800s. The fabric is a densely-woven twill constructed from the fleece of sheep raised in regions of the Pacific Northwest that encounter a wide range of weather throughout the year. The dramatic temperature swings force the sheep to develop a fleece that can protect them year-round in hot and cold weather, which is precisely why it does such a marvelous job of protecting us from frigid conditions. The uncommonly tight weave creates a barrier to wind and water while maintaining outstanding breathability. The flannel lining is made from the same fabric used in our mainstay shirt trusted by sportsmen, tradesmen and Alaskan bush Pilots for 25 years. The natural sheepskin-shearling collar can be turned up and latched at the throat, creating a warm and comfortable barrier against bitter-cold wind and snow that extends to ear-height.

Combined with the four front-patch pockets, the caped construction creates two full layers of our 26-oz. Mackinaw Wool over the shoulders, arms and front torso–the secret to the serious weather protection this coat provides. The cut is fingertip-length for added coverage, with a pleated rear hem that allows the coat to flare when seated for non-binding comfort.
