Virginia Coat - Shetland Donegal Tweed - Moss

Walker Slater was founded in 1989 in the Scottish Highlands before settling Edinburgh’s Old Town, where its headquarters are today. Despite now being over 30 years old, the company has not deviated from its mission, which is to champion the heritage and sustainability of tweed and woollen fabrics through contemporary and elegant clothing.

The Virginia is Walker Slater's Victorian inspired long coat. Darts run down the front and rear, making it the ideal choice for those wanting a more fitted silhouette. Additionally, two seam pockets and three hidden buttons adorn the front of the coat, whilst a small, double buttoned belt adorns the back.

Shetland Tweed is made using wool from Shetland Sheep. These sheep have a naturally soft and fine wool, which is then spun to create a tight and thin tweed fabric with a slightly shaggy finish. 

Donegal: A donegal pattern is created by speckling dots called “neps” or “slubs”, in a different colour of yarn throughout the cloth at random intervals. This creates donegal tweed’s characteristic flecked pattern.
