DELIA | Full-length cable knit coat

It is the only long thing I own that does not draw a line across my stomach.

The stomach is the part most of us have quietly stopped dressing for. Belted coats draw attention to it, fitted coats pull at it, and a cardigan stops just above it. Delia goes all the way down in one uninterrupted piece, and there is no seam or belt anywhere to mark the middle.

The coat runs full length with a straight fall from shoulder to hem, so nothing interrupts the vertical. The cable knit is worked in a large scale, and the texture gives the eye something to follow along the length rather than across the width. Buttons close the front when you want it, and there are real pockets set in.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Nothing cuts across the middle. No belt and no waist seam, so the line runs uninterrupted from shoulder to hem.
• The cable runs vertically. The texture leads the eye down the length rather than across the body.
• Buttons and pockets that work. You can close it against the wind and put your hands somewhere.
• Six colors, sizes to 5XL. Blue, Pink, Yellow, Light Gray, Dark Gray and Red.

How it fits

Delia comes in S through 5XL. Knitted fabric has give that a woven coat does not, so it is forgiving, but the length means a size up also adds length. If you are between two sizes, or you want to wear it over a 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.

Wore it over a nightgown to let the dog out and then over jeans to town. Roberta P., Prescott

The cable is big and chunky. It looks handmade rather than machine flat. Marva S., Asheville

I am a 4XL and the length still reached my calves. Dorene W., Henderson
