Description

The Undyed Beige Wool Fleece Duffle Coat by De Bonne Facture is part of a collection inspired by the stylistic themes of line, form, and material that were core to the French modern architectural movement begun in the late 1920’s, and uses natural fibers in a neutral palette to evolve timeless wardrobe pieces that are hybrids of tailoring and workwear, made with traditional workshop craftsmanship. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Duffle Coat is made from heavyweight French milled fleece using ethically sourced 100% Pure Virgin Arles Merino Wool. To create a vintage aesthetic with a pure provenance, De Bonne Facture used this undyed merino wool fleece to reinterpret a vintage Marcel Lassance vintage duffle coat into a modern cold weather collectable with a casually structured and draped form. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like a single breasted buttoned front, an oversized hood, set-in sleeves, and a brushed flannel cotton lining for the body and sleeves. Paying homage to the original duffle coat with sophistication, this piece has perfectly placed oversized patch pockets, two interior pockets for devices and keepsakes, and high character genuine horn buttons. Being atelier made in Pantin, France by outerwear specialist Tane Style provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship and 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.
