This mid-century Wilson’s of Castleisland coat was woven in County Kerry, Ireland — a region world-famous for its heritage tweeds and skilled weaving traditions dating back centuries. Castleisland mills were known for their luxurious pure wool fabrics, hand-finished to endure the Irish climate while remaining elegant and refined. Crafted from 100% Irish wool tweed, this coat features a thick, softly textured weave in classic neutral tones. The generous fur collar—likely genuine muskrat or mink—has been expertly hand-stitched onto the neckline, giving a rich and natural finish that complements the structured silhouette.
