COLLEEN | Open front coat with pockets

I stopped carrying a purse to the mailbox because this coat has real pockets.

Most long coats ask something of you. You have to button them, belt them, hold them closed against the wind at the car door with a bag in one hand. Colleen asks nothing. It hangs open the way a cardigan does, which is the whole reason it ends up on your shoulders on a cool morning instead of the coat you actually planned to wear.

There is no closure at all, so the front falls in two straight panels and nothing pulls across the middle. Two patch pockets sit at the front where your hands naturally go, deep enough for keys and a phone. Fine embroidery runs through the fabric, close enough in tone that it reads as texture from a few feet away rather than as decoration.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Nothing to fasten. An open front has no buttons to line up and no belt to sit at the wrong height, so putting it on takes one motion.
• It does not cling at the middle. Because the panels hang free, the coat skims past the stomach rather than closing over it.
• Pockets you will actually use. Patch pockets at the front hold keys, a phone and a pair of glasses, which is most of the reason to carry a bag on a short errand.
• Quiet detail rather than a pattern. The embroidery gives it something to look at without committing you to a print you will tire of.

How it fits

Colleen has a relaxed cut and comes in S, M and L. Since it never closes, your size is decided by the shoulders and the sleeve rather than the bust, which is why most women find their usual size is right. If you are between two sizes, or you want room for a thick sweater underneath, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.

I have a thick waist and this is the first long coat that does not draw attention to it. Cecile B., Mesa

Warmer than it looks. I wore the cream one all through a Flagstaff October. Bernice W., Flagstaff

The embroidery is subtle, which is exactly what I hoped for at my age. Opal D., Prescott
