The overcoat defines a winter silhouette more than any other garment, and Norton & Sons has distilled the formula to its most wearable form. Their raglan coat strips away formality without sacrificing substance, cut from 14oz British lambswool herringbone in tonal shades of brown that shift between warm taupe and deeper chocolate depending on the light.
What sets this coat apart is its refusal to demand perfection from the wearer. Soft raglan shoulders slope naturally from neck to cuff, eliminating the structured rigidity of traditional tailoring. Tab cuffs and a covered button fly front lend understated detail, while the generous cut through the body allows the coat to settle over a jumper or suit jacket without clinging or pulling. It is, quite simply, a coat you throw on without consideration and emerge looking entirely composed.
The lambswool carries genuine weight, sufficient to shield against the worst of a British winter, yet the herringbone weave imparts visual texture and prevents the coat from reading as heavy. The tonal brown palette is remarkably versatile, pairing as readily with grey trousers and suede as with navy or charcoal. It belongs equally to town or country, to considered dressing and to the kind of effortless ease that only comes from proper tailoring.
Available in the Ready to Wear collection.
