about the nicholson

The Nicholson coat is an easy to wear smart, structured shrug – a column shape that falls straight down from the shoulder and is worn open.

It is ideal for wearing over a dress or separates in the summer, about the office or house in the winter.

The Nicholson has generous bracelet length sleeves and neat pleats at the shoulder headers. Jetted pockets sit at a subtly slanted angle at the front.

The style can be worn inside or outside; being an open coat, it is particularly well-suited to wearing inside in winter and outside in the warmer months.

While the coat is styled to be worn on the calf, it can be cut shorter or longer to taste and works well as an everyday mid-length coat.

body type

The Nicholson is suited to the inverted triangle or the athletic frame – those with broader shoulders and smaller busts.

customising the nicholson

You can opt to have the Nicholson taken in or let out at the shoulders. This coat can also be cut to a longer or shorter length, and its sleeves lengthened or shortened.
As alternatives to the pleated headers, you can also opt for subtle gathers or box pleats.
You can chose to have the Nicholson made without pockets.
A lining and trim combination is suggested for each fabric, but you are free to choose from our house selection.

– | the nicholson sizing | –

The size table below shows the measurements of the Nicholson coat in both inches and centimetres. The graphic and accompanying table show the points at which the measurements have been taken.

In selecting your size please remember that these are the garment measurements – your own measurements will be smaller than those shown on the chart – ie a size 8 might typically have a bust measurement of 83cm, fitting a coat with a bust of 91cm.

When selecting your size, please bear in mind what you think you might want to wear underneath your coat and remember that while we can take coats in, we cannot let them out.
