Description

The Ladies' Blanket Coat is casual but elegant, a relaxed feel and a sort of automatic, comfortable fit. We envision this for the gentler side of outdoor activities. This piece is called a Blanket Coat because of the Blanket stitching along the cuffs and pockets.

The LBC is shipping now at $775 in True Black, Classic Brown and Drab Green, but not all sizes/colors still in stock. We will probably make Lynx Pattern and Natural White in late 2024.

The Blanket Coat is made from our FullWeight Fabric. Shown in the pictures is a Blanket Coat in our Brown Color, with Merino-yarn trim. Like everything made by WeatherWool, the Blanket Coat is completely American, offering superior performance and classic looks that work anywhere.

The basic design:

FullWeight Fabric in True Black, Classic Brown and Drab Green
A Large Hood
Two Front Pouch Pockets
Thigh length
Edges of cuff and pockets are stitched with American Merino Yarn
4-hole Corozo buttons sewn with backer buttons
Zippered pocket on the inside hidden behind the outer pocket

We really like the Corozo buttons on this Coat. Our Corozo buttons are made in USA from a part of the Tagua Nut, which grows in South America. The Tagua Palm is also known as the Ivory Palm, and the scientific name can be translated as “plant elephant”. The Buttons are carved from the endosperm of the seed. The endosperm is the tissue around the germ, which provides starch, protein and oil when the seed starts to grow.

Incidentally, we debated whether WeatherWool, given our strict policy of pure-American, could use Corozo, as the Tagua is from South America. We decided it’s pretty much the same situation as with zippers and thread. We know these items are made in the USA, but we don't know where the raw materials come from.

These buttons are gorgeous and unique, but we feel they are very appropriate for the Blanket Coat which itself is intended to embody a mixture of casual functionality and elegant refinement. Corozo buttons seem very much like wood, but when you handle them, you can tell they are not wood.

The coat is cut in A-line pattern with chest darts. Please click for sizing details.

Brown Blanket Coats have Natural Cream stitching; Drab and Black have Black stitching.

Very Cozy

I've been waiting for this blanket coat for somewhere around 2 years and let me just say... It was worth the wait. I got it in time for a weekend trip to the snow and it was SO cozy. Our buddy was shivering in his poly jacket while my husband and I were not even aware of the cold in our weatherwool. I took a tumble off my sled into some muddy sludge and this coat cleaned right up in a little snow wash. Amazing.

The white stitching is beautiful and pairs perfectly with the weatherwool watch cap (which is one of the most comfortable watch caps I've ever worn; having spent most my life in the PNW I have worn a lot).

I can't recommend this blanket coat enough. My only regret is that I don't live some where cold enough to wear it more often.

The Only Coat You Will Need

I received this coat as an anniversary gift from my husband after he fell in love with the men's All Around jacket in the lynx pattern.

My first impression upon opening the box and touching the jacket is how soft this coat feels to the touch. I'm very picky and I can't stand anything scratchy. This jacket feels like cashmere and after only a week of wearing it, it's somehow even softer.

My second impression as I inspected the jacket closely was that every last detail is exquisite in quality. The buttons are large and seem indestructible. But they are so beautiful and unique! The stitching detail on the pockets and the sleeves is not flimsy and adds such an elegant touch. The pockets are warm and generous and a hidden interior pocket with weatherwool patch gives a wonderful extra spot and a little pride in owning such a quality artisan piece.

My favorite parts of this jacket, however, are the gloriously ample hood, the breathability, and that it is completely weather proof. Over the weekend I wore it on a several mile hike in the rain and near freezing temperatures and it kept me completely warm and dry-which is saying a lot because I'm always cold. But I have also worn it inside all afternoon and not become overheated. Quality wool is truly amazing in its ability to breathe!

The length is perfect and hits just above my knee/mid-thigh on my 5'5 frame, perfect for pairing with boots. Thank you Weatherwool for a truly luxurious gift.
