Chrysalis Covert Coat - Fawn

A positively Englis coat, originally designed to be ridden through a covert (thicket).

The classic covert cloth was created in the late 1800's.  The term covert derived from the french 'couvert' whose definition is of a shelter or hiding place for game. and referred to the unique colour, woven from a myriad of fibres, tightly spun in a steep twill to create a soft warm hue, quite unlike anything else. Such was the importance of this innovation the V&A museum now credit Cordings as the originator of this special coat and have one in their permanent collection.This tightly woven steep twill originally designed to with stand the harshness of riding. It's olive and fawn colouring was ideal to hide horse hair and any mud or dust that may attach itself. Today, this cloth lends itself to be a beautiful hard wearing cloth whose colour is versatile to be worn with any shade of suit. 

This coat is sized to be worn over a suit/sport jacekt so take your regular jacket size if it is intended to be worn as such. If you plan to wear this coat without a jacket we would suggest taking the size down from your regular jacket size.
