What is an "ulster"?

An ulster is a type of overcoat that is characterized by its loose, double-breasted design and a cape-like collar. It typically reaches below the knee and is made from heavy wool or tweed, making it warm and suitable for cold weather. The coat is often equipped with features such as deep pockets, a belt, and a back vent to allow for greater ease of movement. The Ulster has been a popular style of overcoat since the late 19th century, and it continues to be worn by men who favor classic, timeless fashion.
