Leon Long Donegal Tweed Wool

Product description

A long jacket that combines the structure of outerwear with the practicality of a workwear-inspired jacket. The Leon Long is crafted from 100% Donegal Tweed wool, featuring a clean, relaxed line, a shirt collar, and a length that offers extra protection without weighing down the silhouette.

The front closure is defined by metal snap buttons, which are also featured on the two patch pockets on the chest. Large lower pockets complete the garment's functional construction, while ribbed knit cuffs introduce a sportier detail and help protect against the cold. The interior is fully quilted, making the Leon particularly suitable for the colder season.

In the turquoise version, the background of the tweed gains depth thanks to the natural variations of the yarn and the small flecks of color distributed across the surface. From a distance, the shade appears solid and intense; up close, however, it reveals nuances and small chromatic accents that make every part of the fabric more vibrant and textured.

The character of Donegal Tweed

Donegal Tweed is immediately recognizable by its irregular surface and the small fragments of colored fiber, known as neps, distributed throughout the yarn.

It is precisely these minute variations that give it its identity: the background color never appears completely uniform, but is crossed by dots and shades that emerge differently depending on the light. The result is a fabric with a strong, textured presence—warm and substantial—where irregularity becomes an integral part of the garment's charm.

The 100% wool contributes to providing structure, insulation, and a pleasant consistency to the fabric, characteristics particularly suited to an outer garment designed for long-term use.

Outerwear between a jacket and a coat

The Leon Long takes some elements of the classic work jacket—the shirt collar, patch pockets, and front closure—and adapts them to the proportions of a longer outer garment.

The back maintains an essential line with a slightly rounded hem, while the quilted interior adds protection without altering the clean external silhouette.

It is a garment that is deliberately less formal than a traditional coat, but more structured and protective than a simple jacket: a versatile construction in which functionality and fabric quality remain at the center.

Scottish fabric, Italian manufacturing

The fabric is made in Scotland, within a tradition deeply tied to the processing of wool and tweed.

Manufacturing takes place in Italy, where the fabric is transformed into the Leon Long through precise and functional construction.

The meeting of Scottish fabric and Italian craftsmanship creates an outer garment with a strong character, in which the substance of the tweed combines with practical details and a contemporary line.
