British Voyage Coat

I love everything about this coat. The color, the style, the material, the details... I am obsessed. Thank you.

👜British Voyage Coat
👜Size XS
👜I’m 5’3, 34” bust, 23.5” waist, 33” hip
👜Fit TTS? Yes! There is no stretch and the belt *can* cinch the waist, and it definitely runs on the more fitted side, so size up if you’re in between or want to be wearing this over thicker sweaters! XS fits me *perfectly* as a top but I’m exchanging it to Small so that it will work better as a coat over more layers, and the waist can still be cinched.
👜Comments- THE POCKETS ARE FAKE😭 I am so sad about it. I may very well have them turned into real ones, but for now they are purely decorative😩 I absolutely love this piece though and I’m very happy with the quality of it. All the buttons and buckle engravings are beautiful, and the brooch as well though I probably won’t use it. The bow is a separate piece like a mens bowtie that goes around the neck under the collar, and it would definitely be difficult to do and undo multiple times if you’re using this as a coat while you’re out and about, but if you’re just putting it on once and keeping it for the day, it’s super cute. I think it would be easy to just sew or pin the bow to the coat instead, and then it would always stay in place without getting in the way of the coat’s functionalities at all. I might use it as a hair bow also. The sleeve cuffs have an additional button hole to be closed tighter if you wish, and the belt has multiple adjustments tighter as well. I wish it was thicker and like a wool material- it’s almost like a cotton/linen feel and is about half the thickness of the Miss Berlin material for reference, so definitely not the warmest. The peplum shape of the waist is soo flattering though, I really love this piece so much!!

I love the design of this jacket and the make feels nice and sturdy, especially the metal brass buttons. A couple things that make me hesitate to bring it out for practicality reasons though is the pockets being false pockets and the bow being attached to a stretchy fabric loop with a fastener, so opening the coat would involve taking it off too.
