Vintage sports car wheel in a dark brick workshop

THE COAT ROOM

Weight where it matters.

Outerwear should close cleanly, carry what is needed, and improve the silhouette before a word is spoken.

House note

The house favors coats with provenance in work and travel: naval wool, the car coat, the field layer. We look for collars that stand against weather, pockets placed for actual hands, and cloth with enough body to hold a line.

Field note

Fit at the wheel

A coat for driving should settle when seated. Check shoulder movement, sleeve break, and where the hem meets the thigh. If it will be worn over wool, judge the fit with the knit underneath.
