This black and white Balenciaga belted houndstooth coat is made in Italy from cashmere and wool blend. Cut for an oversized fit, it features pinched, rounded shoulders, raglan sleeves and a pointed collar. Two patch pockets sit on each side of the waist and the tie knot belt has a gold tone logo at the back. So studies reveal that houndstooth originated in the Scottish lowlands, but our studies show that this Balenciaga coat is more at home in the highlands of Montmartre.
