Inside the Atelier: How a Coat Takes Shape
Forty-one separate operations sit between a bolt of Italian wool and the Elowen overcoat. We followed one through the workroom.
Dressing for the Shoulder Season
The six weeks when nothing quite works. Five layering combinations that carry from a cold morning to a warm afternoon.
The shoulder seasons defeat most wardrobes because they ask a single outfit to work across a fifteen-degree swing. The answer is not a heavier coat. It is a lighter one, worn over more.
Our preferred formula: a fine-gauge knit, an unlined blazer, and something with a collar underneath. Each layer is thin enough to remove without ruining the line of the others.
Shoes matter more than people expect. A leather boot reads as warm even when it is not, which buys you another week before the wool socks come out.
