The Long Crimson Coat

£620

Unlined, with a single seam at the shoulder and no seam at all down the back. It hangs straight from the collar, which means it does not fit anybody exactly and is not supposed to.

The cloth is a wool-linen woven for us in Biella at 240 grams. It creases within an hour of putting it on and the crease is the point; a coat that holds a press through a hot afternoon is made of something else.

Made in Portugal. 62% wool, 38% linen. Dry clean, rarely.
