Double Breasted Coat — Rene in Mocha Wool by REISS

Test a coat the way a week tests you: Monday drizzle, Tuesday boardroom, Wednesday surprise rain, Thursday dinner, Saturday market, Sunday wind. The REISS Rene passed all six. This Double Breasted Coat in Mocha Brown pairs a structured button front with a sharp notch lapel, a self-tie belt at the waist, and slant pockets deep enough for a real commute. The blend — 59% wool, 25% polyester, 10% lyocell, 6% cashmere — supplies warmth with drape, and the approximately 47.6-inch hem from high point of shoulder keeps every outfit underneath it intact. True to size. Dry clean. Imported.

The Week, Logged

• Monday, 6°C drizzle: Belt knotted, collar up, wool beading light rain — wiped clean at the door
• Tuesday, boardroom: Buttoned double-breasted over a turtleneck; the notch lapel ran the meeting
• Wednesday, surprise shower: Longline hem shielded the trousers; slant pockets rescued the phone
• Thursday, dinner: Belt loose, coat open over the dress — the mocha read as intentional evening wear
• Saturday, market: Sleeves meeting gloves, coffee riding in a slant pocket, belt trailing behind
• Sunday, wind: Belt cinched tight, double-breasted front closed flat against the gusts

Why the Double Breasted Front Matters

A Double Breasted Coat isn’t nostalgia — it’s engineering. Two fabric panels overlap at the chest, doubling wind resistance exactly where wind attacks, and creating layering room for knits without silhouette bulk. Add the self-tie belt and you own two coats in one: cinched and tailored, or open and fluid.

Layering Rules That Make It Work

Thin days: Button fully over a shirt — the double front supplies the structure alone.
Knit days: Order your normal size; the silhouette is designed to layer a sweater underneath without pulling.
Dress days: Leave open, belt trailing — the 47.6″ hem frames the dress like a curtain frame.
Care ritual: Dry clean only; hang on a broad hanger; brush the mocha nap after heavy-wear days.

The Good & The Considerations

The Good: Double-breasted wind engineering; two silhouettes via self-tie belt; notch lapel elevates any base layer; functional deep slant pockets; longline hem protects full outfits; wool-cashmere hand feel; Mocha Brown works across palettes and occasions; true-to-size layering fit.

The Considerations: Dry clean only; longline proportion may need tailoring for petite frames; wool blend sheds light rain but not downpours; double front adds weight versus single-breasted minimalism; mocha nap attracts light lint in dry weather.

Double Breasted Coat — Common Questions

Can I wear the belt tied or open on this Double Breasted Coat?
Both — the self-tie belt knots at the waist for a cinched silhouette or trails loose for an open, fluid line.

Does this Double Breasted Coat have usable pockets?
Yes — slant pockets at the front, angled and deep enough for a phone, gloves and cold hands.

How warm is this Double Breasted Coat?
The 59% wool and 6% cashmere blend with lyocell drape makes it ideal for autumn through winter layering; the double-breasted front blocks wind at the chest.

What closure does this Double Breasted Coat use?
A button front closure across the double-breasted panels, with a notch lapel finishing the neckline.
