Cocooning, comfortable and beautifully cut, the ROMAN overcoat is a timeless piece you’ll never tire of wearing. It can also be sewn as a warmer coat in a beautiful wool and is packed with beautiful tailoring details: a centre-back inverted pleat for ease (and style), a classic collar or a more statement two-piece collar, and sleeves finished either with a tab for a structured, tailored look or a wide turned-up cuff that can be made in a contrasting fabric. Available in two lengths and two pocket options, ROMAN also features a detachable collar tab.Wear it fastened with the collar turned up to keep out the wind, or casually unbuttoned to fully embrace that quintessentially British overcoat style.
UK sizes 6–24 (FR 34–52), drafted for a height of 165 cm (5’5”). The finished garment measurement chart is available in the product photos.
Sewing level:INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED, depending on the finish options you choose. The main technical aspects include sewing a welt pocket, inset seams and attaching the lining using the flat-lining method.
The margins of seams are included and are 1cm.
