Is a fall-winter collection just a fall-winter collection without coats ? The answer is no, but there is no question of leaving our values in the locker room to add this essential to ours.
With the principles that have governed the creation of our clothing since 2012 , we have imagined two iconic references , complementary and carried by the same timeless aesthetic.
Both available in a pair of colors, you will see the workhorses you are used to at Hast gathered together: noble natural materials , rich textures , precise cuts , deep dyes and high-end finishes.
Add to that top-quality European tailoring and a great sense of precision, and with these warm coats you will find four ways to face winter in the best conditions.
The Balmacaan, a legend reinvented
First soldier in your war against the cold:our Balmacaan coat . Contrary to what you might think, this is not a nickname we gave it, but its official title. A reference to the eponymous Scottish forest, the Balmacaan is a wool coat that historically combines three differentiating elements: a button under the collar (or "Prussian collar" for our English-speaking friends), a fairly enveloping straight cut and a raglan armhole.
For our part, we have obviously taken care of these distinctive signs, by associating them with a thick virgin wool cloth (400 gr/m2) , an imposing herringbone pattern and a well-insulating lining. Thus revisited, the Balmacaan according to Hast retains the charm and drape of its model, while asserting itself as a comfortable, chic and definitely out of the ordinary winter coat.
That’s the magic of this overcoat: majestic and almost intimidating, it remains surprisingly simple to wear. Is it this soft and casual shoulder line that gives it this elegant nonchalance? The bevel of its pockets? Its providential collar? This retro pattern so touching? We can’t say exactly, but it is obvious that something happens when you pass a Balmacaan.
On a very dressy suit , with jeans and a turtleneck , paired with chinos and a hoodie with the hood out, it will always find a way to wrap up your outfit and take it elsewhere. Towards more textured horizons. More shimmering landscapes. More august places.
Made in Europe from certified mulesing-free wool , this coat quietly combines remarkable performance, unique design and careful finishing, which should help you face the mercury in style.
Thanks to Hast's no-middlemen model, we can offer you this marvel at a very reasonable price , which makes us all the more proud to submit it to you this winter. The hardest part now will be choosing between green andgray.
The inevitable tailored collar coat
Second string to your bow to avoid the chills: the ineffable tailored collar. For the record, it is the one through which we first set foot in the world of the long coat for men at Hast. Emotional sequence. Traditional overcoat par excellence, it is to heavy pieces what the suit jacket is to the lightest, that is to say a paragon of elegance and sophistication.
More dressy than a Balmacaan, a duffle coat or a pea coat, we have integrated it into this fall-winter 2024 collection to offer it a formally inspired outdoor garment. Also crafted in a dense and compact wool cloth, although a little lighter (350 gr/m2), this one impresses less by its volume than by the rigor of its silhouette. With its dry and sure lines, we could almost find Bernard Buffet in the design of the shoulders, the nervousness of the button placket, the structure of the pockets and the mineral beauty of the notched lapels.
At the height of delicacy, our wool coat with tailored collar is aimed at the dandies of our century, lovers of good taste and lovers of classic refinement. Rather intended to accompany suits , which will seduce those nostalgic for dressy dress codes , it will not shun more casual outfits, elevating certain casual looks to distinguished skies with its design.

To promote this versatility, we have made a few changes compared to the previous version: in addition to adding a third button to reduce the depth of the throat, we have softened the shoulder and perfected a very versatile straight cut. No changes otherwise, you will find the high-end finishes you are used to, including a beautiful center back slit, horn-effect "kissing buttons" at the bottom of the sleeve, a well-insulated lining and counter-buttons for maximum durability.
An essential reference for timeless elegance , the long coat with a tailored collar is a sacred monster of the sartorial wardrobe. Modernized by us, it is part of our racks in a resolutely classic universe, which does not prevent it from living with its time. Suits, denims , chinos , cardigans and polo neck sweaters : it will be in all the good shots this winter, provided you make it your partner.
Like the Balmacaan, this set is made from certified mulesing-free wool and is entirely made in Europe. A guarantee of quality, of course, but also and above all of great social and environmental responsibility. About the price, you will find it even softer than its counterpart, which may encourage you to adopt it in the two sublime colors that we have prepared for you.
A word about maintenance
Balmacaan or tailored collar , we highly recommend that you take your coat to the dry cleaners at the end of each winter to maximize its life expectancy. Once done, you will only have to store it in a protective cover until the return of the big cold, and you will thus ensure it a proper pampering. It will cost around twenty euros each time, but dry cleaning is really the best way to keep it for several decades.
Choose your armor
Two models, four colors and as many ways to take on the big cold without sacrificing your style: that's what we're offering you this season at Hast. Effective, functional, responsible and versatile , our coats have been designed to equip you without trembling, from the first cold snaps to the last frosts.
Available in store and on our website, we invite you to discover them, as well as our winter accessories such as our gloves , scarves and hats .
