Evelyn | Heritage Tweed Coat

A Return to Proper Coat-Making

Twelve years ago, we promised we'd only make coats we'd actually want to wear for the rest of our lives. The Evelyn is the result of that promise. It is a proper, long-line tweed coat designed for the woman who wants serious winter warmth without hiding under a shapeless layer.

Why We Made It This Way

• Heavyweight Tweed Fabric: We chose a dense, substantial blend that blocks a biting coastal wind, yet feels incredibly comfortable on your shoulders. It reminds you of how clothes used to be made.
• The Heritage Check: A classic, understated pattern that ignores fleeting trends. It adds instant texture and elevates even the simplest outfit underneath.
• A Flattering Frame: This isn't a boxy, oversized fit. We tailored the Evelyn with a subtle taper at the waist to give you a clean, elegant silhouette, even when layered over a winter knit.
• Traditional Notch Lapels: A sharp collar that frames the face beautifully. Leave it flat for a polished look, or pop it up to protect your neck when the southerly wind hits.
• Generational Quality: From the reinforced buttons to the smooth satin interior, we built this coat to last far beyond a single season.

The Details

• Material: Heavyweight tweed blend with a full satin lining.
• Weight: 1.2kg (Reassuringly substantial).
• Length: Long-line, falling elegantly below the knee.
• Pockets: Two deep, side-entry pockets to keep your hands warm and hold your essentials.

What Actually Fits (Layering)

• Fine-gauge merino sweaters ✓
• A tailored blazer or smart cardigan ✓
• Large smartphone and leather gloves in the pockets ✓
• Chunky, oversized balloon-sleeve knits ✗ (May feel a bit tight in the sleeves due to the elegant, tailored cut)

Perfect For

• Evening events or winter weddings where a puffer jacket simply ruins the outfit.
• Long weekend lunches with friends when you want to feel instantly put-together.
• Gallery openings or theatre nights that call for a true statement piece.
• Any woman looking for a grown-up, timeless coat that balances classic heritage with genuine warmth.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean only — proper tweed requires professional care to maintain its beautiful structure.
• Use a garment steamer to refresh the fabric and remove creases (never use a flat iron directly on the tweed).
• Store on a wide, padded hanger so the shoulders keep their perfect shape over the years.
• If caught in a light drizzle, simply hang it in a ventilated room to dry naturally.

Lily's note

"I keep the Evelyn on the hook closest to the door. It's the coat I reach for when I need to feel instantly put-together, even if I'm just wearing a simple knit underneath. The weight of this tweed reminds me of how clothes used to be made—with substance and care. Preparing to leave this studio has been harder than I thought, and knowing this is the final run of the Evelyn we will send from these doors makes it even more special. This coat commands respect without you having to say a word. If you manage to secure one of our last pieces, I hope you wear it with as much pride as we had in making it. " — Lily
