{"product_id":"gerard-darel-coat-dem44e039-natural","title":"Gerard Darel | Ecru Alpaca-Wool Coat - High Collar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet authority to a coat that needs no ornament, and this ecru piece from Gerard Darel makes its case through proportion alone. The high collar rises to frame the face, while dropped shoulders let the silhouette fall with a loose, contemporary ease rather than a tailored grip. Two large flap pockets anchor the chest and hip, giving the coat a structured, almost utilitarian rhythm against the softness of its fabric. It reads as a modern take on the classic broadcloth coat: straight in shape, short in length, and entirely at ease with itself.\n\nThe fabric is a blend of alpaca and wool with a touch of acrylic, and it shows in the hand: dense, smooth-faced broadcloth with the faint halo and warmth alpaca fibres bring, cut with just enough acrylic to hold its shape over a season of wear. It is a fabric built for cold-weather insulation without bulk, closer to a soft shell than a heavy blanket coat, so it layers rather than overwhelms. The ecru tone reads clean and slightly warm rather than stark, closer to raw wool than bleached white, which keeps it wearable against both dark denim and pale knits.\n\nCut for a straight, dropped-shoulder fit, the coat sits away from the body through the torso, so the line is more architectural than fitted. The dropped sleeve means the shoulder seam falls past the natural shoulder point, softening the silhouette and leaving room for a chunky knit underneath without distorting the coat's shape. Long sleeves finish in cuffs with a button placket, a small tailoring detail that lets the wearer adjust volume at the wrist and keeps the sleeve from swallowing the hand. The button-through front closure runs the full length of the coat, giving a clean vertical line when closed and a more relaxed, open drape when worn loose over the shoulders.\n\nIn motion, the straight cut and dropped shoulder give the coat a certain swing at the hem rather than a fitted sway, and the high collar holds its shape rather than collapsing, so it continues to frame the neckline whether the coat is buttoned to the top or left open. The two patch pockets add visual weight at hip level, which balances the volume of the collar and keeps the proportions grounded even when the coat is worn open.\n\nThis is a coat built for the transitional edges of the cold season, worn over tailoring for the office, over a roll-neck and trousers for a Saturday errand run, or thrown over a slip dress for evening with the collar left standing. Its ecru shade works as a neutral anchor, pairing easily with black, camel or denim, and its short length keeps it from competing with longer layers, making it a natural top piece for a considered, texture-led winter wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"NATURAL \/ T1","offer_id":41825521369221,"sku":"DEM44E039","price":5195.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NATURAL \/ T2","offer_id":41825521401989,"sku":"DEM44E039","price":5195.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NATURAL \/ T3","offer_id":41825521434757,"sku":"DEM44E039","price":5195.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEM44E039-NATURAL-1.jpg?v=1787610617","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-coat-dem44e039-natural","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
