Description
Line & Proportion
An asymmetric wool coat in a calm ivory or grey tone—one clean closure, one quiet shift in line, drawn to feel composed at distance and exact up close.
Cultural dialogues around this piece
This silhouette appears in our visual stories that look at crossings, pauses and the quiet distance between arrivals and departures.
It is part of our ongoing study of presence — of how a clear line can frame motion without hardening it.
Materials & Care
Materials
90% wool, 10% vicuña. Chosen to balance warmth with softness and to keep the surface calm and even. The blend supports a clean silhouette while allowing the coat to relax naturally as you move.
Over time
With wear, softening will appear at the elbows and along key seams—the coat learning your rhythm. Steam lightly when needed, let it rest between wears, and store on a supportive hanger to preserve the shoulder and lapel line.
Fit & Wear
Fit notes
- Keep it closed for a sharper asymmetry; wear it open for a softer, longer front line.
- Take your usual size for a precise, cropped silhouette.
- If you are between sizes and prefer thicker layers or a more relaxed line, size up.
Best for
Cool city days, wind-swept commutes, and late returns—when you want one coat to hold a calm outline from street to interior, without needing adjustment.
Sustainability
Sustainability
This piece is part of our edited, small-batch production in lambskin and wool. We design it to be worn over many seasons, and we share clear care guidance so it can move with you for longer.
The SELVANE standard
Every SELVANE piece is held to the same discipline:
- Drawn within our “architectural, never rigid” language — quiet lines that hold space without stiffening the body.
- Cut and finished in focused, small runs, so each silhouette can be refined and repeated rather than endlessly replaced.
- Described as it is: where it serves you best, and where it does not.
If a piece does not meet this, it does not carry the SELVANE name.
