Behind the Pattern

This coat was born from a need: something durable enough to wear while sewing in your workshop, stylish enough to take on the road, and cozy enough to throw on when the fog rolls in. We tested it out in the Pacific Northwest—where the mountains meet the sea—and it passed every test with flying colors.
