Men short coat

The sporty and elegant between-seasons coat is our favourite all year round. It comes with angled welt pockets but without a slit in the back. The coat made from certified organic cotton is partially lined; sleeves and back lining are not simply hung in but sewn into the seams; plus, all seam allowances are piped. A wide-cut facing of viscose supports the fit: it extends into the armhole and keeps things smooth. Four underarm eyelets provide additional ventilation. The concealed button placket includes genuine horn buttons; the pocket bags are doubled for use as inside pockets. These have piping and metal zippers.

EtaProof® is the much-praised cotton cloth from Switzerland, developed by the Zurich weaving mill, Stotz. The highly breathable fabric is appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, the military and polar explorers alike. The protective properties of the fabric keep everything dry, so long as the rain is not coming straight down from the sky in sheets. The fabric, which is moderately impregnated with a wax-based material, uses the same protective principle as waterproof parachute silk. It is woven so tightly that the fibres swell on contact with moisture and water droplets simply run off on the surface.
