Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

A Women’s Navy Wool Cashmere Coat for Six Hundred Mornings
Wear a winter coat most days from November to March and you put it on around six hundred times in five winters, over a suit, a dress and jeans. If it fights with even one of them, it goes back in the wardrobe. This is a women’s navy wool cashmere coat built to agree with all of them: a knee-length, single-breasted tailored coat in 95% wool and 5% cashmere, cut to your measurements with a canvas front.
It is the classic navy coat, women’s tailoring at its plainest: three buttons, notch lapels, a chest pocket and a center vent. No trend detail to date it, and every measurement checked first in a free test coat.

How Much Cashmere
How Much Cashmere Should a Coat Have?
This coat is 95% wool and 5% cashmere, and we say so plainly, because many coats sold as a navy cashmere coat are mostly wool too. The 5% cashmere softens the hand and the drape; the wool takes the wear at the cuffs, pockets and collar, where a 100% cashmere overcoat would rub thin first. For a coat you will wear every day, this blend lasts longer. Many women wear a navy cashmere overcoat over a suit jacket, and this one goes on without pulling, because the fit is set in the test coat.
Softer still, but wears faster at the edges and creases more easily.
Plain wool coat
Hard-wearing, but firmer and less soft against the neck.
If you searched for a cashmere coat, women’s sizes in navy, or a navy cashmere coat for ladies, this is that coat, described honestly. For a double-breasted wool and cashmere coat, see our women’s double-breasted wool cashmere coat.
Why Navy
Why a Navy Blue Long Coat for Women Outlasts Black
Black shows every speck of lint and every fade; navy hides both and looks richer in daylight. A navy long coat also goes with brown shoes and black shoes alike, which black does less easily. That is why a long navy wool coat for women is the one we usually suggest as a first good coat.
The navy is deep and slightly blue, so this is a navy blue cashmere coat rather than a black one in disguise. It also comes in other wool cashmere colors, such as black, camel and charcoal.
What to Wear
Navy Blue Coat Outfits for Women
Over a suit
Gray or charcoal suiting under a navy tailored wool coat is the classic work outfit.
Over a dress
Knee length covers most day dresses; choose a longer hem on the measurement form for midi dresses.
With jeans
Navy over denim and a white shirt is the easiest weekend navy blue coat outfit.
With camel or cream
A camel scarf or cream knit lifts the navy for winter evenings.
Is it a blazer? No. This is not a women’s navy cashmere blazer; it is a knee-length coat, cut long enough to cover a blazer or a suit jacket underneath. For a slim fit navy wool and cashmere coat, choose slim in the test coat and it will close neatly over a jacket.

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Navy Wool Cashmere Coat
Q. Is this a 100% cashmere coat?
A. No, it is 95% wool and 5% cashmere. The cashmere softens the cloth against the neck and wrists, and the wool makes it hard-wearing at the cuffs and pockets.
Q. Why not 100% cashmere?
A. A 100% cashmere coat is softer and lighter, but it wears thin faster at the edges, pills more and creases more easily. For a coat worn most days of the winter, a wool cashmere blend keeps its tailored shape for many more seasons.
Q. How heavy is it during all-day wear?
A. The wool cashmere is about 14 oz, a medium winter weight that does not drag on the shoulders. The canvas front and minimal shoulder pads spread the weight, so it feels lighter on than it looks on the hanger.
Q. Single-breasted or double-breasted: which is more flattering?
A. A single-breasted coat like this one keeps a long, narrow line down the front and suits most figures, especially a fuller bust or a petite frame. A double-breasted coat adds width at the chest, which flatters a slim or straight figure. If you want the double-breasted version, see our women’s double-breasted wool cashmere coat.
Q. How long is the coat?
A. It is knee length as standard. Enter a longer length on the measurement form if you want a long navy wool coat to the calf, and the test coat will show it before the cloth is cut.
Q. Is navy a better first coat than black?
A. In our experience, for most clients, yes. Navy hides lint and fading and goes with both black and brown shoes, while black shows every thread. Black wool cashmere is offered too.
Q. Does it come in light blue or baby blue?
A. No baby blue cashmere coat is offered in this cloth. The wool cashmere colors are the ones in the selector, such as navy, black, camel and charcoal. For a brighter blue, our cobalt blue wool coat is cut in Melton.
Q. Can I have a slim fit?
A. Yes. Choose slim, standard or relaxed in the selector, and check it in the test coat over the clothes you plan to wear underneath.
Q. Can I change the details?
A. Yes. Note it in the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. A fly front, a belt or a different lapel can all be requested.
Q. Can I see the wool cashmere first?
A. Yes. Our swatch service sends up to four samples of about 2 by 4 inches. They usually arrive within 4 to 6 business days. Quote product number 3400002 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How long will the navy coat take?
A. Your cotton test coat is made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once the fit is approved, the wool cashmere coat is made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships.
Q. How do I care for it?
A. Dry clean only, and not often. Brush it after wearing, hang it on a shaped hanger and give it a day off between wears.

These have two real back pockets that open all the way, plus slanted front pockets, in a straight-leg trouser cut to your measurements in a breathable mohair wool blend.

Before we cut the cloth, we send you a free test pair to try at home, and it is yours to keep.

Women’s Outerwear Fit Guide
A Coat Made to Fit You, and Everything You Wear Under It
A coat is a bigger commitment than most garments, you wear it over everything, everyone sees it, and it usually costs more, so it is natural to feel more nervous ordering one made to your measurements. The most common fear is simple: will it be roomy enough over a jumper, but still shaped and not a sack? With a made-to-measure coat you do not have to choose. There are no standard sizes, we cut it to your measurements with the right ease built in for layering, and a free test garment confirms the fit, over your usual layers, before your final cloth is cut. This page answers the worries that come with buying a coat you cannot try on yet.
How It Should Sit
The fit checkpoints, so you know what “right” looks like
Room for layers
A coat is cut with more ease than a jacket so it closes comfortably over a jumper or blazer without straining, while still keeping a shaped, tailored line rather than hanging like a box.
Shoulders
The shoulder seam sits at or just past the edge of your shoulder to allow for layers underneath, with no pulling. This is cut precisely to you.
Length
Your choice, from a cropped or mid-thigh cut to a full-length coat, drafted to your height so the proportion is right for your frame.
Sleeves
Cut a touch longer than a jacket so they cover your wrist and a shirt or jumper cuff, and sit correctly when your arms are down.
Every coat is made to your measurements with the ease built in for layering, in the length and fit you choose. A free test garment lets you confirm the fit over your usual layers before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
I am worried a custom-made coat will be too tight over my jumpers.
This is the most common coat worry, and it is exactly what we plan for. A coat is cut with more ease than a jacket precisely so it closes comfortably over your layers, and when you try the free test garment we ask you to put it on over the jumper or blazer you would normally wear underneath. If it feels at all snug, we add room before the final cloth is cut, so the finished coat is never tight over your usual layers.
A coat is a big spend. What if it arrives and it is wrong?
Nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not gambling a large sum on a coat you have never seen on your body; you are confirming the fit on a test version first, over your layers, and only then do we cut the real cloth. That is the whole point of the process, to take the risk out of the biggest, most visible piece in your wardrobe.
I have never been able to find a coat that fits my shoulders and my shape at once.
That is precisely who custom-made is for. Off-the-rack coats are cut to an average frame, so if your shoulders, bust, or height are not average, something is always wrong. We cut the shoulders, body, and length to your own measurements, so the coat fits your frame rather than a size, and the test garment confirms it before we commit to the final cloth.
I am nervous about measuring myself for something this important.
You do not need to get it perfect. Our guide takes you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and you measure over light clothing so we can allow for layers ourselves. The free test garment is there to catch anything that is slightly off, we see the coat on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely fine.
How do I choose the right length without seeing it on?
Tell us the look you want, cropped, mid-thigh, knee, or full-length, and we draft it to your height so the proportion suits your frame. If you are unsure, a length that ends around the mid-thigh or knee flatters most people. The test garment then lets you see the length on your body and change it before the final coat is cut, so you are never guessing.
Will a fitted coat still look shaped, or will it end up boxy to fit the layers?
It stays shaped. We build in enough room for layers while still cutting a waist and a clean line, so the coat reads as tailored, not as a box. You choose how close or relaxed you want it, and the test garment lets you confirm that balance of room and shape on your own body.
What if my size changes, or I want to wear it over heavier layers in future?
Coats carry generous seam allowances, so a local tailor can adjust the body within reason if your shape changes. And because we cut with layering in mind and keep your measurements on record, you can tell us up front if you plan to wear it over heavy knits, and we allow for it.
The whole custom process feels intimidating. What actually happens?
It is simpler than it sounds. You choose the coat, cloth, and length and send your measurements; we make a free test garment and post it to you; you try it on over your layers and send notes and photos; we adjust and then cut and hand-tailor your final coat; and it ships to you with tracking. At no point are you committing to a finished coat you have not already seen fit on your body.
