Down-Lined Wool Overcoat

A long overcoat is judged on three things: the line of the shoulder, the length, and what is inside it. This one is cut over the knee with a wide peak lapel and a double-breasted front, and inside the wool-blend shell hangs a quilted liner. The maker prints its own figures on the listing — 50.0% sheep wool in the cloth, a liner of 90% white duck down, and 950 grams of cloth to the metre — and those three numbers are repeated here as the maker figures, because we have not had the coat tested. The rest of the composition is left open rather than guessed at. Sizes are sold by body height, 170 to 195 centimetres, which is how the maker lists them; no chest measurement is published, so none is invented. Four colourways: black, camel, grey and blue-grey.

What the maker prints about it

The listing carries its own specification plate: 50.0% 绵羊毛 (sheep wool), 90% 白鸭绒内胆 (a white duck down liner), 950克/米 — 950 grams of cloth to the metre. Those are the maker numbers, not ours, and they are the reason this coat was chosen over the many listings that say 羊毛 in the headline and nothing anywhere else. We have not verified them; the plate is not published as an image, and the balance of the composition stays DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED.

Sold by height

The maker sizes this coat by body height — 170, 175, 180, 185, 190 and 195 centimetres — rather than by chest measurement, so the size you choose is the height the coat is drafted for. No chest figure appears anywhere in the listing, and we have not invented one to fill the gap.

The liner is the point

A wool coat of this weight is a shoulder-season garment until something goes inside it. Here that something is a quilted down liner, photographed on the open coat rather than described in the headline, and it is what lets the coat answer January as well as October.

Care

• Brush the cloth after wearing and hang the coat on a broad hanger; wool recovers its line overnight.
• Sponge marks with a damp cloth and let the coat dry flat — rubbing raises the nap on a smooth wool blend.
• Dry clean rather than wash. The maker publishes no care instruction with this listing, so we do not invent one.

Why we chose it

Because a long overcoat is the piece a winter wardrobe is built around, and because this listing published its own numbers — the wool content, the down fill, the weight of the cloth — instead of leaving them all to a headline.
