I don't have this coat, but it's the same material as the one I own and I assume the construction is very similar. It's a very dense melton wool. I've been wearing mine with a Uniqlo Ultra Light Down underneath and I can get to about -25 celsius before it feels cold. You can wear the coat alone until around 0 celsius.


Have a coat from this season in the same unlined wool. Was fine just over a tshirt down to about 5 F.


Thant's good info. Thanks!

I have that coat as well, be careful - the arms are super high and slim. It's relatively warm, but doesn't really layer very well because I can't fit anything other than a light knit under it. It's definitely a fall or early spring item for me up in the freezing north.

@Nicelynice, Thanks for the insight! What size did you get and what size do you generally wear?

/\ fit is terrible on the shoulders of the model. Looks better on Essence.

honestly, i'm impressed with how well he (and whoever helps him) models their stock considering the range of sizes he stocks
