Product Insights
The Contemporaine Oversized Reprocessed Wool Felted Overcoat is a sustainable heavyweight outerwear piece that marries the warmth and breathability of virgin wool with the durability of a 60% reprocessed wool-40% nylon blend, using reclaimed fibers. Its double-sided felt construction eliminates the need for lining, yielding a lightweight, shape-retentive shell that slides over layers and holds its form even when sized up. Three size brackets let the wearer control the oversize effect—from relaxed to deeply oversized—while a straight, unwaisted cut creates an intentional slouch when worn open. Dense non-woven felt resists collapse and recovers shape after wear, and the unlined interior is soft, breathable, and static-free. However, water immersion can distort the fibers, requiring dry-cleaning. At $250 CAD, it undercuts comparable felted wool coats by nearly half, and cross-season layering, nylon reinforcement, and careful maintenance extend its usable life.
- Size selection
Model wears S/M; size choice determines silhouette from relaxed to deeply oversized.
Why this is supported
The coat uses only three size brackets, spanning two conventional sizes each. The product page notes that
Sizes Available L/XL S/M XXS/XS
stylight.ca, and the model photo is shown in a specific size:
The size of the item pictured is sml-med
stylight.caThis means that selecting a size is less about precise measurement and more about choosing how oversized you want the silhouette: opting for the bracket smaller than your typical size delivers a relaxed fit, choosing your usual bracket reproduces the model's exaggerated slouch, and sizing up creates maximum cocoon volume.
- Fit
Unlined wool felt interior slides over layers and retains shape even when sized up.
Why this is supported
The coat's straight cut (
