Midi Trench - 1960s Scottish Tweed
Cool colors splash across twentieth century weaves from the inside out of this coat, combining a blue Scottish tweed with an abstract twirling printed silky lining. The trench is double-breasted with a large lapel and adjustable wrapped-cuff detail. The tie belt gives a cinched-in appearance, front or back. Italian mother of pearl buttons add a smart and subtle finish. Made to comfortably stand out and be worn with anything from jeans to dresses.
