The Dearborn Overcoat - Caramel (Wool/ Cashmere)

I've searched intensely for the last 3 years for a 100% wool coat, which is apparently hard enough, that also was from an ethical brand with high quality and responsible sourcing of materials and craftsmanship. This is that coat! Plus it's beautiful. The fabric is so soft and thick, and we've only just hit the start of Wisconsin winter so I've not tested the full extent of warmth but thus far in 20° weather it has been wonderful. I'm ecstatic. Liz was also very responsive and helpful when I had questions about fit before even purchasing. I truly couldn't be happier with this coat. If you're waffling about the purchase because it's a bit costly, just get the coat, it's worth it and I expect it to hold up for a long long time to come.

I've been eyeing this coat for some time and finally splurged after winning the monthly drawing. I am SO excited to wear it this winter. The fit and cut are wonderful, the interior lining just delightfully fun, and the material is so soft and warm. I started sweating while trying it on inside! It really is a dream and I'm looking forward to wearing it for at least the next two decades. It's beautifully and strongly made to hold up to wear and tear. I'm so glad it's a part of my closet.

From the moment I tried on the Dearborn Overcoat I knew I had purchased something special. This coat automatically elevates anything your wear with it’s luxurious feel and sophisticated cut. This is a high quality, American made coat that should be a staple in a lady’s wardrobe. Lastly I’d like to thank Liz for the $200 giftcard (I never win anything!), and also for being so gracious and creating these beautiful heirlooms!

I have been on the hunt for a quality wool coat for a number of years, and I was over-the-moon when my husband surprised me with the camel Dearborn this last Christmas. I had emailed with Liz, the designer, earlier in the year. She was happy to tell me more about the fabric, answer some specific questions I had about the belt/construction, etc. I think it's pretty special that Liz communicates directly with her customers in this way!

My husband bought me a medium based on the size chart, but I ultimately decided to exchange it for a large, and Liz made the process super easy. As far as the coat itself: WOW. It met my every expectation (and then some)! The craftsmanship is unparalleled, the fabric equal parts soft and durable, the color and style timeless. I live in Minnesota, and have a high standard when it comes to outerwear. This coat is as functional (and warm) as it is elegant.

Please, do yourself a favor. Skip the cheap polyester coat. Don't feed the fast-fashion machine. I promise the Dearborn is worth every penny. This is fashion the way it was meant to be.

I've had my eye on this coat for months and finally made the purchase. It took a few weeks for production and shipping since my size was out, and Liz had to make one for me upon order -- but that wasn't a problem at all since it's late springtime at the moment.

The coat arrived today and it was soooooo worth the wait. Absolutely gorgeous, incredibly well-made, and heavy (in the good way that you WANT a winter coat to be). I'm so excited to show it off this winter!

If you're thinking about buying it but are on the fence: do it. You deserve it.
