Description

The De Bonne Facture Chocolate Brown Austrian Wool Cloth Parisian Raglan Coat is part of a soft tailoring collection inspired by the connection between applied academia, folk art, and countryside wear, reflecting the style of prominent professors from the 1940s through the 1980s. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Parisian Raglan Coat is made from a 16 oz. Austrian Melton Cloth milled using mulesing-free, 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool from ethically raised Australian Sheep. To create a vintage aesthetic with pure provenance, De Bonne Facture utilized this luxurious chocolate-brown cloth, milled from lightly dyed wool fibers, for a character-rich color in a durable material with a soft hand and a dutiful, casually structured drape. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose, with details like a single-breasted rolling-buttoned front for a business-casual aesthetic, a point collar and raglan sleeves for a structured drape and relaxed silhouette, and is fully lined with a cotton/viscose blended twill for the body and sleeves to provide an elevated finished feel. Additionally, this piece has perfectly placed wide welt lower hand pockets, two interior chest pockets for devices and keepsakes, high-character genuine horn buttons, tab-button cuffs, and a center back vent to allow for movement. Paying homage to the 1950s Parisian Gabardine Raincoat with a contemporary design, this piece is atelier-made in Pantin, France, by outerwear specialist M. Erbas, which provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship. Combined with fully traceable natural materials, the result is an artisan piece for the timeless wardrobe of the contemporary fashion connoisseur.
