Long Double-breasted Shearling Coat

Long Double-breasted Shearling Coat

A men's long double-breasted coat for fur or shearling, with a collarless V-neck, a four-button front and in-seam pockets. Unlined: all seams are sewn fur sides together, so the seam allowances stay on the suede outer side as a design detail.

When To Wear

• In winter as a warm outer coat over suits and heavy knitwear.
• With jeans or wool trousers and boots for everyday wear in the cold months.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, shaped only by vertical panel seams at the front and back.

Length: Below the knee.

Neckline: Collarless V-neck; the upper front edges turn back slightly, showing the fur side.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves, each cut in two halves (left and right parts) joined by a lengthwise seam; shown with the hems turned up to the fur side.

Front: Double-breasted, four buttons in two pairs. Each front is made of four panels: upper and lower centre front, upper and lower side front.

Pockets: In-seam pockets in the horizontal seam between the upper and lower side front panels; the pocket bag is cut from the main fabric.
