About MePale pink slubweave wool tailored coat with pointed collar, patch pockets and belt.

This coat is both fashionable and practical. It is a perfect pink pastel shade for Spring and offers protection from light showers, as wool contains a natural oil called lanolin, which acts as a waterproofing agent.

Tailoring of this type was fashionable in the 1960s, with many styles copying the clothes designed for Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of the American President. The pastel shade, boxy cut and large pockets of the coat echo the refined elegance of the First Lady.
