DOUBLE BREASTED SHAWL COLLAR COAT

Description

1. Double Breasted

• Meaning: The front of the coat has two symmetrical columns of buttons, with one side overlapping the other when fastened.

• Style effect:

  • Classic, more formal look often seen in trench coats, pea coats, or tailored outerwear.

  • Offers extra warmth due to the overlapping fabric.

  • Adds structure and a slightly boxier silhouette.

2. Shawl Collar

• Meaning: A continuous, rounded collar without lapel notches that rolls gently from the neckline.

• Style effect:

  • Softer, elegant look (compared to pointed or notched collars).

  • Often used in robes, tuxedo jackets, or more luxurious-looking coats.

  • Lends a relaxed yet refined vibe to the garment.

3. Flap and Zipper Pockets

• Flap pockets:

  • These have a fabric flap covering the pocket opening.

  • Help protect the contents and add a classic look.

• Zipper pockets:

  • Secure closure with a zipper—great for keeping items safe.

• Combination:

  • Offers both functionality (security and ease) and aesthetic variety on the coat’s design.

4. Back Vent

• Meaning: A slit at the back bottom of the coat.

• Purpose:

  • Provides ease of movement, especially when walking or sitting.

  • Common in longer coats or tailored styles to prevent bunching or tightness.

• Types: Could be a single vent (center slit) or double vent (two side slits)—though it doesn’t specify here.

5. 60% Wool, 40% Polyester

• Wool:

  • Provides warmth, breathability, and a soft feel.

• Polyester:

  • Adds durability, wrinkle resistance, and helps the coat maintain its shape over time.

• Blend benefits:

  • A 60/40 ratio offers a good balance of luxury and practicality.

6. Dry Clean Only

• Meaning: The coat requires professional cleaning; machine or hand washing can damage the fibers or structure.

• Why:

  • Wool and polyester blends often shrink or lose shape when washed incorrectly.

  • The presence of structured features like a shawl collar and back vent reinforces this need.

7. Imported

• Meaning: The coat was made outside the domestic market (likely in Asia or Eastern Europe).

• Implications: Common in modern fashion production to reduce costs; does not necessarily impact quality if the manufacturer follows high standards.

8. Style #: lwqmw488

• Purpose: A unique product code used for tracking the item in inventory systems.

• Use: You can use this code on a retailer’s website or with customer service to find the exact item.
