Description
Line & Proportion
A long double-breasted coat in deep black, shaped with a sharpened shoulder and a straight, elongated line to the mid-calf.

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.

How it feels
Smooth and substantial with a calm, dry hand. Warm without heaviness—its double-layer weave traps air naturally, creating insulation that reads refined rather than bulky.
Presence in motion
Classic double-breasted codes, edited to feel modern: a disciplined lapel line, precise button placement, and a long vertical fall that holds presence as you walk. Buttoned, it reads formal and exact; worn open, it relaxes into a quieter, more effortless attitude.
Materials & Care
Materials

52.1% cotton, 29.7% polyester, 18.2% wool. Portuguese imported fabric, developed from Shetland wool origins. Shetland wool is prized for its natural character—less “perfectly fine,” more textured and vintage in spirit—adding depth and a lived-in richness to the surface.
Over time
With wear, the coat softens subtly through the sleeves and body while keeping its shoulder and long line. Steam lightly to restore the silhouette, and hang on a structured hanger to keep the lapel and shoulder shape clean.
Fit & Wear
Fit notes
- Tailored through the shoulders with a clean, straight fall through the body.
- 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 days, office-to-evening transitions, and travel when you want structure, warmth, and an uncompromising silhouette.
Sustainability
Sustainability
This piece is part of our edited, small-batch production in a Portuguese-made cotton–wool blend with Shetland wool origins. We design it to hold a clear silhouette over many wears, and we share clear care guidance so warmth, shape, and finish stay composed 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.
