Here is a model that you asked for, it is time to present our latest coat with a straight cut and raglan shoulders.
Perfectly timeless or deliciously vintage, everyone has their own interpretation of this type of piece!
What I wanted was:
- a coat with a comfortable cut, to easily wear large pieces underneath
- a soft, fluffy and above all very beautiful material
- a fluid drape, to be comfortable on a daily basis, whatever your outfit
That’s it for my specifications! Let’s start with the most important…
A sumptuous wool and cashmere cloth
Regarding the fabric, its arrival on this coat was not planned...
Indeed, let's go back in time to when we were designing our women's coat . I wanted to make a big splash with a fabric that draped luxuriously, was very soft and had a very pleasant "softness".
So we found this Italian fabric, in wool and cashmere, and it is sincerely one of the most beautiful outerwear fabrics that we have worked. So much so that we have been asked for it for men's outerwear, and not just a little!
And it's true that this fabric ticked all the boxes to inaugurate our new coat shape: soft, luxurious, with a beautiful drape.
Compared to the Jules Tournier fabrics of our other coats, here is the difference:
- Jules Tournier fabrics have a very structured hand, with a certain hold, and an "all weather" feel,
- the hand of this fabric, Italian in soul, has more "roundness", with a great softness in the touch, and a much more marked softness
But where does this fabric come from and what is its special feature?
A wool and cashmere cloth from the Italian Texco
Ah, how I love this Italian draper!
He is the one behind the 100% yak fabric of one of our most popular coats, for example.
It is a partner that works only with luxury brands, so it is used to weaving very beautiful woolen cloths with very high quality raw materials. Everything is spun, woven, dyed and finished in Italy, around the city of Prato.
By wearing this coat, you will therefore be able to experience a beautiful example of Italian know-how in terms of softness, flexibility, color and durability.
So here is the composition of this coat:
- 90% wool
- 10% recycled cashmere, GRS certified
In terms of thickness, we are at around 580 grams per linear meter, which corresponds to a "real" fabric for fall winter. To give you an idea, this corresponds to the thickest thicknesses that we use for our other winter coats.
Thanks to Texco's mastery, the fabric remains very supple and fluid, with a real high-end feeling.
A new cut in our coats
We wanted to explore a slightly looser fit than our usual coats, so this is a straighter coat.
The interest of this cut?
It is multiple:
- adapt to many body shapes,
- give a casual style, which contrasts nicely with the high-end wool and cashmere cloth,
- be able to comfortably wear a thick sweater or other thick clothing underneath.
The finishes of this coat
Raglan shoulders
The most visible are these raglan shoulders, with a shape that wraps around the shoulder well, and a more relaxed fall than a classic shoulder.
Very soft pockets…
The pockets are also lined with fleece fabric, a finish much appreciated in our other coats, allowing you to keep your hands warm in winter.
