Balmacaan

A balmacaan is a "loose, full overcoat with raglan sleeves, originally made of rough woolen cloth."

To decrease risk of water penetrating the coat, the number of seams is reduced by bringing the sleeve to the collar rather than to the shoulder as usual. A balmacaan has raglan sleeves and a Prussian collar, and is usually made of tweed or gabardine.
