Sometimes the chicest looks are borrowed from the boys, just as in Newton’s oversized cocoon coat. Bracelet-length raglan sleeves keep the look feminine. For a tweed effect, the softly flowing fabric is knit with two shades of Schoppel Wolle/Skacel Collection’s Alpaka Queen held together. The back and sleeves are each worked in two pieces and seamed at the center, creating structure. Knit separately, the collar features an inner rise for added volume. Knitted linings complete the inseam pockets.

Colorways are #9680 dk grey (A) and #8870 lt grey
