Macheath Greatcoat
As it was then, so it can be now! The Macheath Greatcoat combines all of the classic elements of Victorian, manly elegance with touches of modern flair. Made with plenty of pockets to stow your conveniences in (two large outside pockets in the side seams and three interior pocket, including our signature ‘smugglers pocket’ – just the right size for a jackkni…er…business cards or cell phone and two large pockets that button closed). Our Greatcoat has a full caplet to help ward off the worst of the weather that is sewn in to the front seams to keep it from flapping back in your face. The front button tab detail covers a hidden zipper for easy on/off and has the added advantage of buttoning the collar snugly around your neck. We included generous turned back cuffs, for that extra bit of flare and two sets of pleats in the back that provide fullness that flares dramatically with the breeze.
A stylish and practical choice for the discerning roustabout in you.
Men’s sizes S – XXL (but there nothing to say it wouldn’t look smashing on the saucy highway women.)
Proudly made in Chi-Town, USA.
A rainy day in Old London
That fog-shrouded time when night and dawn walk hand-in-hand. A tall hat appears in the mist, accompanied by the crisp click of a brass-capped walking stick striking against the cobbles. You squint through wet lashes to see the face of that fine figure in the long, greatcoat. It’s no avail, but as he draws closer you hear a rich baritone sing….(to the tune of Mack the Knife)
♪♪ Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white,
Just a jackknife has old Macheath, dear
And he keeps it, out of sight… ♪♪
Your heart quickens in your throat. Macheath? The gentleman thief of London? The cane clicks, the voice grows louder, he’s nearly upon you and there’s no time to run. Lord or highwayman, gentleman or rogue, one thing is for certain — that is a mighty fine coat he wears.
Named for the dashing, swashbuckling highwayman of The Three Penny Opera, our greatcoat evokes an era when gentlemen set off for business and pleasure looking their best. Armed with a top hat, gloves and a well-knotted, silk scarf, a proper top coat did more than protect their finery from the rain – it was finery itself.
