- How does the 3-in-1 system work?
- The down liner zips or buttons out of the shell. Wear the shell alone in rain, the liner alone in dry cold, or both together for winter.
- Is it warm enough for real winter?
- With the 90/10 down liner in, it handles cold urban winters well. In deep sub-zero conditions, most people would still want a heavier parka.
- Can I machine wash it?
- No. Mackage lists it as dry clean only, for both the shell and the down liner.
- Is the hood removable?
- Yes. The hood detaches, which lets the coat read as a cleaner balmacaan for dressier wear.
- How does it compare with a technical parka?
- It is dressier and more tailored, with a waterproof cotton-blend shell instead of nylon. A technical parka will usually be lighter and easier to wash.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is offered in standard men's sizing. The balmacaan cut is tailored, so check the chest and shoulder measurements if you plan to layer a sweater.
- Where is the Mackage Mathias 3-in-1 Balmacaan Coat With Removable Down Liner cheapest?
- At Mackage, for $1,290.00, as of our latest check.
