Pocketed Button Up Collared Neck Coat | Dark Gray / S 100100012931204

Overview

A classic button‑front coat with a defined collar and practical pockets, built from a substantial single‑fiber fabric for structure and everyday durability. The pared‑back construction gives a clean, utility‑inspired silhouette that transitions easily from casual weekend looks to smarter layers for the office. Lightweight enough for layered looks yet substantial enough to hold shape, it’s a versatile outer layer for everyday wear.

Fabric & Material — what 100% cotton means for this coat

Cotton is a natural cellulose fiber that brings breathability, softness and reliable strength to outerwear. In pieces like this coat manufacturers typically use a medium‑to‑heavy cotton weave (for example twill or canvas) to create structure and abrasion resistance while still remaining comfortable against layered knits and shirts.

Typical finishes that affect performance include pre‑washing to reduce shrinkage (sanforization), mercerization for greater sheen and dyefastness, and surface coatings (rare on plain cotton) for water resistance. If you prefer sustainable options, look for certified organic or better‑cotton programs and information from the retailer about growing and finishing methods.

Fabric Advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Breathable and comfortable — cotton breathes and feels pleasant next to skin and over layers.
• Durable and easy to repair — strong fiber that withstands regular wear and simple home repairs.
• Good dye affinity — colors look rich and natural on cotton and resist premature fading when laundered properly.
• Natural and biodegradable — a renewable, compostable fiber when left unblended.
• Low maintenance — straightforward laundering compared with many delicate fabrics.

Cons

• Tendency to wrinkle — cotton creases more than synthetics and may need pressing for a crisp look.
• Can shrink if exposed to high heat — washing and drying care matter for fit retention.
• Not inherently water‑resistant — cotton soaks through and gets heavier when wet unless treated.
• Less insulating than wool — for cold conditions you’ll need insulating layers underneath.
• Conventional cotton production can be water‑ and pesticide‑intensive — consider certified alternatives when possible.

How to measure the garment and yourself — a practical guide

Before ordering, compare your body measurements to a garment you already own for best results. Two measurement methods are shown below:

Measuring your body (for choosing a size)

• Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust with the tape parallel to the floor while wearing a thin top.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder bone to the other.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam would sit) down along the outer arm to the wrist bone. For center‑back sleeve method, measure from the middle of the back at the base of the neck, across the shoulder to the wrist.
• Back/Top length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to the hem.

Measuring a similar coat you already own (recommended for accuracy)

• Lay the coat flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles.
• Chest/Body: Measure from seam to seam under the arm (pit to pit) and multiply by two to get the circumference.
• Shoulder: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back.
• Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (near the collar) to the hem.

When comparing your measurements to any product measurements, allow for ease. For light layering allow 1–2 inches of extra room in the chest; for a sweater or blazer underneath add 3–5 inches.

Fit notes — what to expect and how to choose size

• This style reads as a structured, slightly boxy outer layer. It is designed to sit over lightweight to medium layers—if you plan to wear heavy knits, choose one size up.
• Shoulder fit is the key for comfort. If the shoulder seam sits off your natural shoulder line you may experience restricted movement or shortened sleeve length.
• If you prefer a tailored, close fit, select your usual size. For a relaxed, oversized look choose the next size up.
• Check the product imagery carefully—pose and styling can make items appear slightly larger or smaller than they are.

Model information — how to use the imagery as a sizing reference

Product photos are a visual guide: retailers often include the model’s height and the size they wear. Use that data if available. If model details are not listed, rely on the measurement instructions above and compare against a similar coat you own. Look at sleeve and hem placement in photos to estimate where the coat falls on your body (hip, mid‑thigh, etc.).

Color & pairing ideas

This coat’s minimal lines make it a strong neutral foundation. Here are pairing ideas to inspire daily outfits:

• Casual daytime: T‑shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and a lightweight scarf — effortless weekend wear.
• Smart casual / office: Fine knit turtleneck, tapered trousers and leather loafers or ankle boots for a polished look.
• Layered: Midweight sweater, overshirt or blazer underneath for colder days; finish with a wool scarf and boots.
• Contrasts: Light or khaki tones pair beautifully with deep navy and rust accents; darker versions pair with crisp whites and denim for high contrast.
• Accessorize: Add a slim belt at the waist to create definition, or stack necklaces and a leather bag to elevate the outfit.

Style & occasions

The piece is intentionally versatile: wear it as a commuting layer, an errand coat, or over lighter office outfits. Its clean lines and practical pockets make it suitable for travel and everyday styling. Dress it up with tailored trousers and polished shoes or keep it casual with denim and trainers.

Season suitability

• Best for spring and autumn when you need structure and light warmth but not heavy insulation.
• Works in milder winter climates when combined with insulating layers (sweater, fleece, quilted vest).
• Too warm for hot summer days; suitable for cool summer evenings depending on fabric weight.

Care Tips & Fit Notes (quick reference)

Quick care tips

• Wash in cool water and avoid high heat to reduce shrinkage and color loss.
• Fasten buttons and turn the coat inside out before washing to protect hardware and surface color.
• Remove promptly from the dryer or air‑dry flat to minimize wrinkles and preserve shape.

Quick fit notes

• If you like to layer substantially, size up for added room.
• Keep in mind shoulder and sleeve measurements when choosing your size—those affect movement most.

Care Guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Pre‑wear check: If garment feels stiff or has excess finish, a gentle cold wash first can soften and normalize the drape.
2. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle or delicate cycle with mild detergent. Fasten buttons and turn inside out.
3. Stain removal: Treat stains immediately with a gentle pre‑treatment (enzyme‑free for delicate surfaces), or soak in a cool oxygen bleach solution for white/light items.
4. Drying: Prefer air drying on a flat surface or hanging on a broad, supportive hanger. If using a dryer, use low heat and remove while slightly damp to finish drying on a hanger.
5. Ironing and reshaping: Iron on medium heat while the coat is slightly damp or use steam to smooth wrinkles. Reshape pockets and collar before the fabric fully dries.
6. Storage: Hang on a wide‑shoulder or padded hanger to keep shoulders crisp; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
7. Long term care: Repair loose seams and buttons promptly. For water resistance, consider a fabric‑safe spray treatment applied according to product instructions.

Style Tips — three looks to try

1. Weekend neutral: Layer over a striped tee, relaxed blue jeans and leather ankle boots. Add a knit beanie and a crossbody bag for an approachable everyday look.
2. City smart: Wear over a slim knit and cropped tailored pants; finish with loafers or sleek boots and a leather satchel. Tuck the front slightly for clean lines.
3. Layered warmth: Under a coat: lightweight down vest, heavy sweater and a scarf for cold days; cuff sleeves to show a contrasting sleeve for visual interest.

FAQ

Is the coat lined?

The design uses a simple interior construction without a full lining, which keeps the piece lighter and more flexible for layering. If you prefer more structure or insulation, wear a thin blazer or quilted layer underneath.

Will the cotton shrink?

Cotton can shrink if exposed to high heat. Follow the care guidance (cool wash, low‑heat tumble or air dry) and consider sizing with potential shrinkage in mind. Many manufacturers pre‑treat fabrics to limit shrinkage.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Alone it offers moderate warmth. In cold climates combine it with insulating layers (fleece, wool sweater, down vest) or choose a heavier outer layer for freezing temperatures.

Does it repel water?

Natural cotton is not water‑repellent. Light rain will soak through and the fabric will become heavier when wet. A spray water‑repellent treatment can provide short‑term protection if needed.

How should I choose my size?

Compare your body measurements to a similar coat you own using the measuring instructions above. If you like to layer thicker knits, choose a size with extra chest and shoulder ease.

Can it be dry cleaned?

Yes — dry cleaning is safe and can be a good option for maintaining finish and shape over time, especially if the coat has any special trims or if you prefer professional care.

Are the pockets functional?

The pockets are designed for everyday use—hand warming and small essentials such as keys or phone. Reinforced stitching at the corners is recommended for frequent use.

What to do about wrinkles?

Steam or a medium‑heat iron will remove creases; removing the coat promptly from the dryer while slightly damp and hanging it will minimize wrinkles as well.

Why this coat is worth adding to your wardrobe
