Description

The De Bonne Facture Undyed Camelhair Ratine Cloth Grandad Trench Coat is part of the L'Altitude capsule collection inspired by the pure colors and calm beauty of winters in the French Alps, using the finest natural fibers renowned for their warmth, softness, and refinement for moments in the city or a holiday evening in a chalet. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Grandad Coat is made from an 18 oz. Italian Ratine Cloth milled using undyed, mulesing-free, 100% Camelhair naturally moulted and collected from free roaming Gobi Desert camels. To create a vintage aesthetic with a pure provenance, De Bonne Facture utilized this undyed and brushed Ratine that provides insulation and drape in a durable cloth with a tufted pile and an elegantly casual aesthetic. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like a double-breasted buttoned front for a business-casual aesthetic, a notched collar and a rolling top button for various conditions of fall through spring, raglan sleeves for a comfortable and draped silhouette, and is lined in a cotton/viscose blend for a finished garment with a comfortably aged appeal. Paying homage to the original trench coat with sophistication, this piece has a belted front for closure and styling versatility, perfectly placed wide welt lower hand pockets, two interior chest pockets for devices and keepsakes, high character genuine horn buttons, tailor taped seams, adjustable tab button cuffs, and a center back vent to allow for movement. Being atelier made in Pantin, France, by outerwear specialist M. Erbas provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship. When combined with the authenticity of fully traceable natural materials, the yield is an artisan piece for the timeless wardrobe of the contemporary fashion connoisseur.
