Tuscan Hills Coat from Fleming & Clark
Waxed-cotton coats are not going out of style; in fact, they are growing in popularity. Some excellent offerings are coming from Fleming & Clark, Ltd., a new Tennessee-based importer and exclusive USA distributor of fieldwear and classic accessories from Hand made Maremmano, in Italy. The nearly 100 products F&C unveiled in Las Vegas included hats, boots, trousers, jackets, belts, luggage and other traditional, high-end offerings made from leather, wool and other natural materials. From this impressive lineup, the new Tuscan Hills Coat really caught my eye.
This rugged, heavy coat is made from 10-oz waxed British cotton, which renders it waterproof. The brown four button garment is lined with wool tweed and sports moleskin trim on the collar and inside the cuffs. The honey-brown trim is a handsome touch and, with the wool liner, offers the feel of a fine sport coat. I also like the handwarmer pockets and the flap protectors on the side cargo pockets. On the left breast an outside pocket secures with a brass snap; on the inside designers cleverly added a second pocket that fastens with a button. Cuffs open and close with brass snaps. Another neat touch (too often missing from waxed cotton coats) is a nylon-lined rear game bag. Accessible from the left and right side, it, too, secures with brass snaps.
Except for the British cotton, all materials originate from Italy, where the Tuscan Hills Coat is made by hand. It's available in sizes M through XXL and is not only field functional but also doubles as a good-looking travel garment. As such, the game bag is handy for toting maps, documents and the daily newspaper to read on the subway. Price: $499.

When we discovered this line and this coat in particular, we were extremely excited to be able to offer it. Not only is there the apparel, but the leather accessories are the best you’ll find,” says Patrick Fleming, co-founder of Fleming & Clark. “Many of the products are named after and represent particular areas in Italy. It is not about marketing, it is about a proud heritage of tradition, quality, family, and a certain way of life. We share those values and believe our customers do too. That is why we are proud to say made in Italy.” Because of its unique styling and quality, the Tuscan Hills is expected to become a favorite among discerning upland hunters and those seeking rugged good looks in their everyday outerwear. Featuring a button front closure, brass snap pockets and cuffs, and a fully lined rear entry game bag with brass snaps (to carry your birds or the newspaper), this coat stands ready to serve and become a long-term member of your wardrobe.
