000901 Double-Breasted Fur Coapattern

0010 Double-Breasted Fur Coat

The pattern of a double-breasted fur jacket. A shortened model (up to the middle of the thigh). Two rows of buttons.
Lapels: the top row is offset from the bottom row.
Practical function: Double layer of fur on the chest for extra wind protection.
Wide turn-down collar (made of the same fur). Knee length. Hidden pockets in the side seams.
The prototype was the officer’s overcoats of the 19th century (Russian Empire, Great Britain).
The peak of popularity occurred in the 1950s (Christian Dior included double—breasted fur coats in the New Look collection).
What to wear with?
Evening bow: With sheath dress + patent leather pumps.
Casual style: With skinny jeans + rough boots + a bulky sweater.
Elegant office look: with a pantsuit + turtleneck.

Important! The double-breasted model visually makes the top heavier, so the bottom should be concise.

Style icons: Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, modern looks from Max Mara and Fendi.
