Leon Long Donegal Tweed Wool

Product description

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

The front closure is defined by metal snap buttons, which are repeated on the two chest patch pockets. Large lower pockets complete the functional construction of the garment, 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 green version, the tweed base 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, it reveals nuances and small chromatic accents that make the fabric feel more vibrant and textured.

The character of Donegal Tweed

Donegal Tweed is instantly 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 the fabric's structure, insulation, and pleasant feel—characteristics particularly well-suited to outerwear designed for long-term use.

Outerwear between a jacket and a coat

The Leon Long takes certain elements from the classic work jacket—the shirt collar, patch pockets, and front closure—and adapts them to the proportions of a longer outerwear piece.

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 deliberately less formal than a traditional coat, yet more structured and protective than a simple jacket: a versatile design where functionality and fabric quality remain at the center.

Scottish fabric, Italian manufacturing

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

The tailoring, however, 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 manufacturing gives life to an outerwear piece with a bold character, in which the substance of the tweed combines with practical details and a contemporary line.
