There is something deeply grounding about wearing a piece of local history. This exceptional 1960s coat by Christchurch tailor 'van Roli' is a testament to New Zealand's rich manufacturing past. It is crafted from a wool blend in a sophisticated heritage check, weaving together tones of slate grey, forest green, and a striking burgundy thread.

The construction is thoughtful and practical. It features a raglan sleeve cut which offers a seamless shoulder line. This is brilliant for comfort as it allows ample room for layering chunky winter knits without restricting movement. The silhouette is a classic column shape that falls to the knee, providing excellent coverage and warmth.

This cut works beautifully to soften the shoulder line while the straight drape skims effortlessly past the hips and thighs. It is a coat that offers structure without rigidity.

Style it as your daily armour against the cold. It looks impeccable buttoned over a work dress or worn open with denim and leather boots for a relaxed weekend aesthetic. This is investment dressing with true provenance. It is a durable, stylish layer that has stood the test of time.
