The Wills Trench Coat roughly resembles the Mackintosh Dunkeld Coat, a raincoat so iconic that it birthed the entire genre of Mac coats. The Scottish brand invented a rubberised fabric to create the first raincoat in 1824.
Based on a combination of exceptional quality, strong reputation and domestic production, Mackintosh Dunkeld Coats cost over $2,000, which makes the Wills alternative an exceptional value off the bat.
However, Wills remixed the classic Mac formula by incorporating elements like raglan sleeves, much like the kind found on Barbour’s Bedale jacket.
The Dunkeld’s simple vented pockets are replaced with large patch double pockets, each with a flap entry on top and a side handwarmer pocket beneath, just like the pockets on a Gloverall Duffle Coat.
