{"product_id":"gerard-darel-coat-dem22e049-navy","title":"Gérard Darel | Textured Wool Coat - Navy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA short coat built on a straight silhouette and generous volume, this Gérard Darel piece trades stiff tailoring for something looser and more considered. The defining feature is immediate: dropped shoulders that shift the coat's structure downward, softening the shoulder line and giving the whole garment a relaxed, contemporary stance rather than a rigid, boxy one. A notched collar frames the neckline with a touch of classic tailoring, so the coat reads as chic rather than casual, even at its most undone.\n\nThe fabric is virgin wool, worked with a slight curl to its surface that gives real textural interest rather than a flat, smooth finish. This is a hand you notice: dense, slightly rough underfoot of the palm, with a visible depth to the weave that catches light differently depending on how the coat falls. In navy, that texture reads almost tweed-like at close range, while holding a clean, uniform colour from a distance — the kind of fabric that photographs as simple but rewards a closer look.\n\nCut short and closed with four buttons down the front, the coat sits at a length that pairs easily with both trousers and skirts without competing for proportion. The dropped sleeves continue the relaxed line established at the shoulder, while the straight body avoids any nipped-in waist, letting the wool do the work of shaping rather than seams or darts. Two large flap pockets sit at the hip, each finished with a smaller welt pocket inset — a detail that adds a working, utilitarian edge to what is otherwise a fairly polished piece. It is the kind of construction detail that rewards attention: functional, but also a clear design signature.\n\nIn motion, the volume of the coat becomes more apparent. The straight cut swings rather than clings, and the dropped shoulder means arm movement doesn't pull at the seams the way a more fitted coat would. It layers easily over knitwear without looking overstuffed, thanks to that generous cut, and moves well over both structured and soft pieces underneath.\n\nThis is a coat built for the transitional stretch of the season — too textured and substantial for high summer, but not a heavyweight winter overcoat either. It reads well over tailored trousers and a fine knit for the office, or thrown over jeans and boots for something more off-duty. The navy colourway keeps it easy to fold into an existing wardrobe rather than asking to be styled around. For a slightly more directional look, wear it open over a monochrome outfit and let the notched collar and welt-pocket detailing stand as the only real embellishment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"NAVY \/ T1","offer_id":41825519992965,"sku":"DEM22E049","price":4650.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ T2","offer_id":41825520025733,"sku":"DEM22E049","price":4650.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ T3","offer_id":41825520058501,"sku":"DEM22E049","price":4650.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEM22E049-NAVY-1.jpg?v=1787610027","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-coat-dem22e049-navy","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
