Guide: Raglan Coats

This season, the Nelson raglan coat returns in two distinct fabrics, each offered in a considered palette of tones. 

IRISH DONEGAL TWEED

The robust Irish Donegal tweed has long been a Berg & Berg favourite, defining the coat’s character. Woven in a distinct herringbone with the flecked texture typical of Donegal cloth, it comes in a substantial 670gsm weight, making it a true winter fabric with warmth and rustic appeal. While rooted in the countryside, it remains versatile, working just as well in the city and pairing naturally with both casual wear and tailoring.

ENGLISH HERRINGBONE TWEED

This season we introduce a denser English tweed, bringing a cleaner, more urban sensibility. At 525–540gsm, it is lighter than the Irish Donegal yet still firmly a winter cloth. The navy and grey herringbones carry the character of a classic city coat, while the brown/green herringbone and brown/natural houndstooth offer a softer, more relaxed feel.
