Wearing the Coat
To achieve the intended flattering silhouette, simply slip on the coat, wrap the front panels across your body, and tie the self-tie belt at your natural waist. Experiment with different knot styles for varied looks. The waterfall collar is designed to drape naturally; adjust it for personal comfort and style.

Care Instructions
Given the wool material, proper care is essential to maintain the coat's quality and longevity.
- Dry Clean Only: This coat should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the wool fibers and alter the coat's shape.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap (specifically for wool), then air dry. Avoid rubbing.
- Storage: Store the coat on a broad-shouldered hanger in a breathable garment bag to help maintain its shape and protect it from dust. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight.
- De-Pilling: Over time, wool may pill. Use a fabric shaver or de-piller to gently remove pills and restore the coat's smooth appearance.
- Steaming: To remove wrinkles and refresh the fabric between dry cleans, use a garment steamer. Avoid direct ironing on wool unless absolutely necessary and always use a pressing cloth on a low setting.
