Is an autumn-winter collection truly an autumn-winter collection without coats? Of course not, but there was no question of compromising our values to add this essential piece to our wardrobe.
Guided by the principles behind our garments since 2012, we have designed two iconic styles, complementary and united by the same timeless aesthetic.
Both available in a choice of two colours, they bring together the hallmarks you have come to expect from Hast: fine natural materials, rich textures, impeccable cuts, deep shades, and premium finishing.
Add to that premium European tailoring and an eye for precise proportion, and these warm coats give you four great ways to take on winter in optimal comfort.
The Balmacaan, a legend reinvented
Your first line of defence against the cold: our Balmacaan coat. Contrary to what you might think, this is not a nickname we coined, but its official name. Taking its name from the Scottish estate, the Balmacaan is a wool coat that historically combines three distinctive features: a throat latch under the Prussian collar, an enveloping regular fit, and raglan sleeves.
On our end, we naturally refined these signature details, pairing them with a dense virgin wool fabric (400 g/m²), a bold herringbone pattern, and a well-insulating lining. Thus revisited, the Balmacaan by Hast retains the drape and charm of the original, while standing out as a comfortable, sophisticated, and truly exceptional winter coat.
That is the whole magic of this overcoat: imposing and almost intimidating, it remains surprisingly effortless to wear. Is it that soft, relaxed shoulder line that gives it such elegant nonchalance? The slant of the pockets? The sheltering collar? Or that charmingly retro pattern? We cannot say for certain, but there is clearly something captivating when a Balmacaan passes by.
Over a formal suit, with jeans and a roll neck, or paired with chinos and a hoodie, it will always effortlessly elevate your outfit. Bringing richer textures, warmer nuances, and a touch of refined distinction.
Crafted in Europe from mulesing-free certified wool, this coat effortlessly combines outstanding performance, unique design, and meticulous finishing, ensuring you brave the cold in style.
Thanks to Hast’s direct-to-consumer model, we are able to offer this exceptional piece at a remarkably fair price, making us all the prouder to present it this winter. The hardest part now will be choosing between green and grey.
The essential tailored-collar coat
Your second line of defence against the winter chill: the peerless tailored-collar coat. Interestingly, this is the very piece that marked Hast’s debut into men’s long coats. A traditional overcoat par excellence, it is to heavy outerwear what the suit jacket is to tailoring: a true benchmark of elegance and sophistication.
More formal than a Balmacaan, a duffle coat, or a pea coat, we introduced it into this Autumn/Winter 2024 collection as outerwear with a refined sartorial flair. Also tailored from a dense, compact wool cloth, though slightly lighter (350 g/m²), it impresses less through sheer volume than through the sharpness of its silhouette. With clean, assertive lines, the shoulder shape, the crisp placket, the structured pockets, and the sculptural notch lapels echo the precision of architectural design.
The epitome of sophistication, our wool tailored-collar coat is made for modern connoisseurs, lovers of good taste and enthusiasts of classic refinement. Primarily designed to accompany suits—sure to delight fans of formal dress codes—it pairs equally well with more relaxed attire, elevating casual looks with its sharp silhouette.

To enhance this versatility, we made a few adjustments compared to the previous version: alongside the addition of a third button to close the neckline slightly, we relaxed the shoulder and perfected a highly versatile regular fit. Otherwise unchanged, you will find the premium finishes you expect, including a clean centre-back vent, horn-effect kissing buttons at the cuffs, insulating lining, and reinforcement backing buttons for maximum durability.
A timeless benchmark of elegance, the long tailored-collar coat is an icon of sartorial heritage. Reinterpreted by us, it sits naturally within a classic aesthetic while remaining thoroughly modern. Suits, denim, chinos, cardigans, and polo shirt-collar jumpers: it pairs seamlessly with everything this winter, provided you make it your go-to layer.
Just like the Balmacaan, this piece is crafted from mulesing-free certified wool and made entirely in Europe. A guarantee of quality, of course, but above all of high social and environmental standards. When it comes to price, you will find it even more accessible than its counterpart, making it all the easier to adopt in the two splendid shades we have prepared.
A note on care
Whether you choose a Balmacaan or a tailored collar, we warmly recommend taking your coat to the dry cleaners at the end of each winter to maximise its lifespan. Once done, simply store it in a garment bag until the cold weather returns, keeping it in pristine condition. It costs around twenty euros each time, but dry cleaning is truly the best way to keep it for decades.
Choose your armour
Two models, four colourways, and just as many ways to brave the freezing cold without sacrificing your style: that is what Hast brings you this season. Effective, functional, responsibly made, and versatile, our coats are designed to keep you warm and confident, from the first cold snap to the last winter frost.
Available in-store and online, we invite you to discover them, alongside our winter accessories such as our gloves, scarves, and beanies.
