Maison Fauve - Roman Overcoat

About the Roman Overcoat

Cocooning, comfortable and beautifully cut, the ROMAN overcoat is a timeless piece you’ll never tire of wearing. It can also be sewn as a warmer coat in a beautiful wool and is packed with beautiful tailoring details: a centre-back inverted pleat for ease (and style), a classic collar or a more statement two-piece collar, and sleeves finished either with a tab for a structured, tailored look or a wide turned-up cuff that can be made in a contrasting fabric. Available in two lengths and two pocket options, ROMAN also features a detachable collar tab. Wear it fastened with the collar turned up to keep out the wind or casually unbuttoned to fully embrace that quintessentially British overcoat style.

The main technical aspects include sewing a welt pocket, inset seams and attaching the lining using the flat-lining method.

The Fabric

Select only woven only warp and weft fabrics like cotton gabardine, a wool, a tweed from 250 to 500g/m2 depending on the desired finish. MF recommend choosing a specific lining fabric, such as ours which is 100% cupro - smooth and more breathable than a polyester lining.
