Description
This unisex coat takes its cues from a vintage French workwear garment found in Paris, with a wide, generous body and an easy sleeve. First developed in 2019 and refined over several years, it is cut in an elegant Irish wool basketweave that gives the silhouette pronounced texture and presence.
Woven by Magee in Donegal, Ireland, the pure wool has a dry, tactile character that suits the generous proportions of the coat, while its weight makes it well-suited to cool, windy weather. Lined in American cotton and finished with interior welt pockets and Italian horn buttons, it is gracefully substantial without feeling overly formal. A piece to wear repeatedly and treasure for years.
Named for Helen, our pattern maker, who helped bring its many iterations to life.

Built with a pronounced basketweave construction, this substantial Irish wool has a dry, tactile character and strong surface relief. The warm sandstone tone brings a quieter expression to the rugged weave, while the quality of Magee’s yarn gives the cloth an unexpected softness. Established in 1866, Magee remains one of Ireland’s few family-run mills, producing the finest natural-fiber fabrics in Donegal.
