Wool Coats

A coat is the first thing you’re seen wearing and the last thing you put on before leaving your house. It’s naturally one of the most important purchases you’ll make for your wardrobe. Far more important than shoes. Far more important than a bag. The coat. It frames your whole outfit, so having a bad one ruins a great outfit before you’ve even left your house. We always come back to wool when it counts. Not because it’s classic or timeless but because nothing else feels, performs, and looks like it over the course of a whole season. It keeps its shape after a day of being tossed around. It fańzs back into place after being crammed onto a crowded train. It keeps you actually warm without bulkifying you like a down coat. And when it’s done right, wool looks expensive in a way that very little else can get away with at first glance. Here you’ll find our favorite wool coats; the ones we’d actually save up for or be thrilled to stumble across at a price that makes us question how they knew us so well. Everything from the camel coat that instantly elevates everything underneath it, to the statement oversized number in rich grey that can double as a blanket on your chilly commute but still looks elegant instead of cumbersome. We’ve paid attention to silhouette, lining fabrics, buttons, zips, and whether the pockets are actually big enough to put your hands in. Details like that really matter when you’ll be living in your coat for the better part of 6 months. We’ve also been thoughtful about including a range of coat lengths because a midi coat and a cropped wool jacket coat serve two very different purposes. One gives you some serious drama and warmth for those freezing cold days where sneakers just won’t cut it. The other helps you pair a pair of oversized trousers without getting lost in a maxi coat. They’re both so good, and if your closet has space for both you’re doing yourself a disservice if you own just one. Done right, a wool coat isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Sure, it feels nice to treat yourself to something fancy come winter but what you really need is a great wool coat that’ll make *every* outfit look finished from October all the way through March. That isn’t something you should settle on and we take that responsibility seriously.
