The fabrics are hand selected for their visual and tactile appeal as well as durability and practicality.

Choose from a selection of fabrics suitable for each style. Also see individual coat styles:

1. Only the softest, ‘lush-est’ faux-furs are used, mostly inside the coat as a lining – see the Marnie.

2. Leopard print fun-fur used as lining with burnt orange, wind and water-resistant outer layer – see the Marnie.

4. Berber fleece in a rich, deep red with black specks – see the Ottawa.

8. A striking gold and black zebra faux-fur, with very short pile and incredibly soft. This cloth is a real knockout! see photo. This fabric would work beautifully as the outer layer of Celebrating 50. It would also be perfect for the interior, shawl collar and cuffs of the Marnie combined with a black outer fabric. A matching hat would surely be de rigueur!

9. A variety of faux-furs used as trim for cuffs and collars – see the Ottawa and the Classy.
