SHEILA | Quilted coat with a defined waist

Every warm coat I have owned made me look like a barrel. This one does not.

There is a moment in front of the hall mirror in December that a lot of us have quietly stopped looking at. You put on the coat that keeps you warm and the shape of you disappears underneath it. Somewhere between fifty and sixty most women decide that is simply the price of winter. Sheila is the argument that it is not.

The cut is relaxed through the shoulders and the hip but draws in gently at the waist, so the coat has a shape of its own instead of hanging straight down from the bust. The quilted fabric is soft rather than rigid, which is what lets it follow that shape rather than fighting it. There is enough ease through the arms to move properly, so a defined waist does not cost you the ability to reach across the back seat.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It has a waist. The cut narrows gently at the middle, which is the difference between a warm coat and a shapeless one.
• The shape does not restrict the arms. The ease is kept in the shoulders and sleeves, so you can reach and drive in it.
• Warm without the padded look. Soft quilting holds heat in a flat layer rather than a puffed one.
• Three colors that go with everything you own. Brown, Black and Beige, in sizes M through 4XL.

How it fits

Sheila comes in M through 4XL. Because it draws in at the waist, this is the one coat where the middle measurement matters more than the bust, so check that row of the chart first. If you are between two sizes, or you like a coat that closes over a thick sweater, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.

30 days to change your mind

If it does not find its place in your closet, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions.
