Description
Line & Proportion
A long, open-front merino wool coat that falls in one continuous line—broad lapel, clean pockets, and seamless detailing for a quiet, elongated presence.
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
100% superfine wool. Naturally smooth, gently warm, and designed to drape fluidly. The fiber’s soft-yet-resilient character supports a clean fall while helping the silhouette hold its shape over time.
Over time
With wear, the wool relaxes subtly along movement points, becoming more personal while keeping its long, clean line. Steam lightly when needed, rest between wears, and store on a supportive hanger to preserve the lapel and shoulder shape.
Fit & Wear
Fit notes
- Best over light-to-mid layers; the line stays clean when the under-layers stay streamlined.
- 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, studio-to-dinner transitions, and travel where you want one coat to read composed in the daytime and effortless after dark.
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.
