Long Double Breasted Wool Coat with Tie Belt
A long double-breasted coat in wool, with a wide notched lapel, dropped shoulders, large patch pockets at the hip and a self-tie belt cut from the same cloth.
A long coat takes a great deal of cloth, so few are made per colour.
Museum steps on a bright cold Sunday
The steps outside a museum on a cold bright Sunday are full of people standing about waiting for each other, and a coat is the only thing anybody can see. It gets read from the bottom of the steps upwards: the length below the knee first, then the lapel, then the belt tied at the waist.
A belted coat changes the outline. Pulled in at the waist with the skirt of it falling long and loose below, the coat makes one continuous shape rather than a straight column, and the people you are meeting pick you out of the crowd on the steps before they can see your face.
A long coat is the only garment that does its work at distance.
Wool, double-breasted, belted
The coat is cut long in wool and fastens double-breasted, with a notched lapel cut wide enough to lie flat across the chest. The shoulders drop, which is what keeps a heavy cloth from standing away from the body at the top of the sleeve.
The belt is self-tied and cut from the same cloth as the coat, so it disappears into the colour instead of reading as a separate strap. Large patch pockets sit at either hip, deep enough for a hand in a glove. The hem falls below the knee.
What the coat has on it

Beige, Black or Brown, one cut
Beige, Black and Brown are the three at the selector, and the belt is cut from the coat’s own cloth in every one of them.

Long coats are cut in small numbers
A coat this long uses several times the cloth of a jacket, and the belt comes out of the same length, so a bolt makes very few of them. Wool is bought for the season rather than held on standing order, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
If it is for this winter, take it this week. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it indoors over a jumper.
