Tomales Coat
Whether you call it a duffel coat, a toggle coat, or another of the many nicknames it’s earned over the years, the design upon which we modeled our limited edition Tomales Coat has been in use since the 1800s when it first gained traction among European sailors. Though its constituent features—wooden toggle fasteners (designed for ease of use while wearing gloves), roomy integrated hood, and buttonable neck strap — are instantly recognizable, there’s still something uniquely striking about this time-tested classic. We saw no reason to fuss with the fundamentals and focused instead on refinement by way of superior materials coupled with Golden Bear’s peerless construction. Anything but precious, the fact that there will only be 100 in existence means the Mendocino Peacoat will become a prized artifact of American Style.
