Italian Wool Houndstooth Car Coat in Brown

The origins of the Car Coat are in its name: it was originally long, designed to keep motorists warm in early automobiles that were open to the elements. Over time, the term became synonymous with a shorter coat, one designed to hit above the knee; ours goes a little shorter still, falling just below the waist. It’s crafted from a luxurious Italian wool in a classic houndstooth pattern with a rugged, fuzzy look and feel. Design details include a clean, hidden placket, two welt-style hand pockets and a single vent in the back. It’s an easy, chic layering piece: start with a base layer, add a shirt, and move up to a sweater as the temps continue to dip. 100% Wool Fully Lined in Bemberg 36” Long; Hits Below the Hip Raglan Sleeves Covered Button Front Patch-and-Flap Pockets with Side-Entry Two Interior Pockets Adjustable 2-Button Cuffs Fabric From in Italy Garment Made in Portugal Dry clean only.
