Description
Line & Proportion
A long, belted coat with clean topstitched edges tracing the silhouette—fluid in drape, balanced in structure, designed for a composed, elongated line.
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 for softness with warmth, and a drape that stays fluid while maintaining sculptural balance.
Over time
With wear, softening will appear at the elbows and along key seams—the coat learning your movement. Steam lightly when needed, rest between wears, and store on a supportive hanger to preserve the shoulder line.
Fit & Wear
Fit notes
- Tie the self-belt to shape the waist and shift the proportion from relaxed to more defined.
- 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
Cold city mornings, long commutes, and winter days that move between outdoors and warm interiors—when you want one coat to stay composed from first step to late return.
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.
