Wool Blend Tailored Short Coat

Wool blend construction - insulating and naturally breathable - holds its structured silhouette through long wear without losing its shape at the shoulders or hem. Oversized bomber proportions with a cropped, elasticated hem band that cinches the coat's volume and defines the waist without constraining it. Twin chest patch pockets with button-fastened flaps - a utilitarian detail that gives the coat real character and sits flat against the body rather than bulging. Gathered puff at the shoulder seam adds a sculptural quality to the sleeve head, setting this apart from a conventional short coat. Stand collar with button fastening sits close to the neck, offering wind protection without the bulk of a lapel - clean and considered from every angle. A coat that works hardest at the smarter end of a day schedule - think client lunches, gallery openings, or a polished city commute where the outerwear needs to carry as much weight as what's underneath. The cropped length makes it particularly well-suited to high-waisted tailoring; the model wears it over a checked midi skirt, which is a strong pairing that lets the coat's structured top half contrast with a longer, more relaxed hem below. For a sharper take, try it over wide-leg tailored trousers and a fitted roll-neck - the volume at the shoulder reads as deliberate rather than oversized when the rest of the outfit is kept lean. The ribbed hem sits just above the hip, so it layers cleanly over dresses too without disrupting the line. This is a coat you reach for when you want structure and ease in the same piece, and it delivers both without compromise.
