Trude - Mid-Length Coat

The Trude: A black coat built for six months of the year, from September right through April.

At 63, I had spent too many years in coats that didn't quite work—tight at the shoulders when I layered, or heavy on my frame, or so polished they only worked for one kind of day. The Trude is none of those things. It is a coat I can wear to the grocery store in the morning and to supper out that same evening, with room for a real sweater underneath and a streamlined line that keeps the weight off my shoulders. The pearl buttons are large enough to close with cold hands, the sleeves actually cover my wrists, and the black is both timeless and present. It is the coat I reach for without thinking.

• Relaxed fit through the shoulders and underarms—breathes around a real sweater, no binding or sizing up required
• Streamlined wool that falls along your body instead of ballooning around the middle
• Large, easy-to-grip pearl snap buttons that close on the first try, even with gloves on
• Long sleeves that cover the wrist bone—even when your arms are stretched out reaching
• Works from morning errands to evening occasions without change or apology
• Black, mid-length, sized S–2XL to fit the woman, not make the woman fit the coat
