The Southport Wool Coat - Camel

Rated for 5 to 35°F. This is a coat you wear for 15 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

More coat = more warmth.
2. What are the benefits of a 100% wool coat?

3. Are your coats fully lined?
Yes. All Checkroom coats are fully lined for warmth, structure, and longevity.
4. How should a wool coat fit?
Our coats are designed to allow for comfortable layering while maintaining a clean, tailored silhouette. If you regularly wear blazers under your coats, you may consider sizing up.

With proper care, a well-made wool coat can last 10–20 years or more, making it a worthwhile investment. Brushing and steaming between cleanings can extend the life of your coat along with storing it on a wide hanger to help maintain its shape.
