Due to the wool content and structured tailoring, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the coat's shape and fabric quality.
The coat features a tailored fit. While it accommodates fine-knitwear, very thick or oversized chunky sweaters may feel restrictive in the shoulders.
The coat measures approximately 80cm in length, which is designed to sit just above the knee for most average-height individuals.
The collar can be worn either folded down for a classic open-neck look or buckled tightly up to the neck for a modern, high-neck, architectural appearance.
The wool blend provides excellent insulation for autumn and mild winter days. For extreme cold, consider adding a scarf to provide additional neck coverage.
Hang the coat in a bathroom while running a hot shower; the steam will help the wool fibers relax and release wrinkles naturally.
Ensure the coat is buttoned completely at the top to provide the necessary tension for the asymmetrical flap to sit as intended.
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a wool comb to gently remove surface lint and pills, maintaining the smooth texture of the wool.
To ensure the longevity of your wool-blend garment, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's natural oils and tailored structure. Avoid hanging the coat on thin, wire hangers, as these can cause the shoulder structure to lose its shape; opt for wide, padded, or wooden coat hangers instead. If the collar buckle becomes slightly stiff, gently clean the edges to ensure the flap sits flat. For storage, keep the coat in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag to prevent moth damage and dust accumulation. When styling, ensure that any layers beneath the coat are not excessively bulky to maintain the sharp, tailored aesthetic intended by the design.
