The Hourglass Coat in Silk Matka

The Hourglass Coat in Silk Matka

Formal Fitted Coat

Our Hourglass Coats are the most shaped and tailored of our coats. They have neatly tailored shape and a structure that mirrors the traditional hourglass shape, with a fitted silhouette and defined waist.

Generous full length sleeves are slitted at the wrist and have deep internal hems to allow a fold-back cuff. It has two hidden seam pockets and is designed to be worn low on the calf. 

When closed, the two front panels of the coat should be able to meet without either straining at the rear or overlapping at the front; they can be held together to keep the coat closed with any of our closures.

Cuts & Body Shape

We offer this shape in two cuts -

The Biffin – for the broader backed, smaller chested frame.

The Vasey – the the narrower backed, fuller chested frame.

Fabric

Silk Matka is a linen-like silk that is light, cool and elegant. The weave is linen-like, but Matka creases far less than linen.
