The Susanne is a cropped, double-breasted coat in a thick wool blend that sits at the intersection of the peacoat silhouette and the oversized, boxy outerwear that continues to define considered UK dressing. The stand collar — a high, closed neckline with no lapels — gives this coat a cleaner, more modern profile than a traditional peacoat, removing the folded collar detail and replacing it with something that sits more closely to the architectural outerwear seen across the most coveted Scandinavian and European labels. Six prominent buttons in two rows complete the fastening and add the structural, naval-coded detail that makes the double-breasted format so enduringly appealing. Double-breasted coats remain one of the most consistently recommended investment outerwear pieces by UK fashion editors, and the Susanne's shorter length makes it a more contemporary and versatile take on the format.

The cropped, boxy fit means this coat layers comfortably over everything from fine-knit jumpers and co-ord sets to midi dresses and wide-leg trousers without adding unnecessary bulk. Style with pointed-toe boots and tailored trousers for a polished smart-casual look, or wear over a hoodie and straight-leg jeans for a considered off-duty outfit. A reliable, seasonless investment that earns consistent rewear from autumn through to spring.

Product Features

• High Stand Collar — A structured, upright collar sits close to the neck without folding into a traditional lapel. The stand collar gives the coat a more architectural, contemporary feel than a conventional peacoat and provides additional warmth at the neckline.
• Double-Breasted Six-Button Fastening — Two rows of three large buttons create the double-breasted front closure. The buttons are a prominent design detail — dark against the neutral wool — and are a key part of the coat's visual identity.
• Cropped Hip-Length Silhouette — The coat finishes at or just below the hip, creating a shorter, more contemporary proportioning than a traditional long coat. The cropped length makes it easier to layer over a variety of bottom lengths including midi skirts and wide-leg trousers.
• Relaxed Oversized Boxy Fit — A generous, dropped-shoulder cut with volume through the body and sleeves. The oversized fit allows comfortable layering over knits and other mid-layers without restricting movement or creating tension across the back.
• Heavyweight Wool Blend Fabric — A thick, densely woven wool blend with a smooth, matte surface provides substantial warmth for transitional and cold season wear. The fabric holds its shape and retains its appearance through repeated wear.
• Turned-Back Cuffs — The sleeves finish with a turned-back cuff detail that adds an elegant, considered note to the otherwise minimal design. The cuff detail can be worn folded or straightened depending on the occasion and temperature.
• Smart-Casual and Workwear Versatility — Works over tailored trousers and fine-knit jumpers for a polished office or city look, or layered over denim and a basic tee for a relaxed smart-casual weekend outfit. A reliable outerwear investment across multiple seasons.
