ELEANOR | Tailored coat for day and evening

I wore it to my grandson's graduation and then to the grocery store the next morning.

There is a particular kind of coat most women stop buying somewhere in their fifties: the one that only works for occasions. It hangs unworn for eleven months of the year and makes you feel wasteful every time you see it. Eleanor is cut well enough for the dinner and plain enough for the errand, so it earns its hook by the door.

The shaping is gentle rather than fitted, following the line of the body without gripping it, which is why it works over a dress and over jeans. Long sleeves are cut with enough room at the upper arm to move properly, so reaching for something on a high shelf does not lift the shoulders. Six colors run from cream through to gray.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It is not an occasion coat. The shaping is subtle enough that it does not look overdressed with jeans, which is what stops it hanging unused.
• Shaped without being tight. It follows the body rather than gripping it, so a defined line does not cost you comfort through the middle.
• Sleeves that let you reach. Room at the upper arm means the whole coat does not ride up when you lift a hand.
• Six colors including two creams. Cream, Black, Beige, Red, Brown and Gray, in S through XL.

How it fits

Eleanor comes in S through XL and is cut with a gentle shape through the waist. Because it is tailored rather than loose, the bust measurement is the one to check first. If you are between two sizes, or you want to wear it over a sweater rather than a blouse, 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.
