Todd Snyder’s Italian Casentino Upland Coat is a masterclass in rugged refinement, marrying heritage materials with contemporary tailoring. Inspired by classic upland hunting jackets, this mid-thigh layer brings a utilitarian silhouette into the modern era with thoughtful details: a point collar, button-through chest pocket, patch-and-flap hip pockets, and interior storage for everyday carry. But the true star is the fabric—a luxurious Italian Casentino wool renowned for its warmth, loft, and unmistakable texture.

Casentino’s origins date back to 14th-century Tuscany, where shepherds prized it for its softness, durability, and natural weather resistance. Today, the tradition lives on thanks to the Bellandi mill in Prato, a family-run institution founded in 1961. When a neighboring Casentino maker faced closure, Bellandi stepped in to preserve the craft. “Our fabrics are more than just materials — they are the expression of a philosophy,” says Brand Manager Chiara Bellandi. “A coat made with Bellandi fabric is made to last.”

Todd Snyder uses that legacy-rich textile to elevate what could be a purely functional garment into an everyday luxury piece. The coat’s classic fit, button cuffs, and clean construction make it versatile enough for both crisp city commutes and weekend escapes. Warm without being bulky, timeless without feeling nostalgic, the Todd Snyder Upland Coat embodies the sweet spot where craftsmanship meets modern menswear.

At $898, it’s an investment — but one built on centuries of Italian textile history and meant to endure countless winters ahead.
