The Long Coat

The Long Coat is the only pattern the atelier has never redrawn. It was cut in 2019 for a customer who wanted a coat that would reach the top of her boots and had no other requirement at all.

It is remade every season in heavy linen, and it is the only thing Weftmere makes to measure. The short length came later, from people who told us they sit down more than they walk.
