The stand collar is what makes this one. Without lapels breaking the line, Ellis reads as a single uninterrupted column from shoulder to hem — the reason a coat like this makes almost anything worn under it look more considered. It falls past the knee, which is what gives it the drape; a shorter version of the same coat would look like a jacket and lose the whole effect.
Why You'll Love It
-
Unbroken Collar Line: No lapel notch means no visual interruption — the coat reads as one clean shape rather than a set of parts.
-
Below-Knee Length: Long enough to fall properly and cover a suit jacket completely, with no hem peeking out beneath.
-
Wool Body: Holds its shape through a day of wear and recovers overnight rather than creasing where you sat.
-
Narrow Through the Waist: Shaped rather than boxy, so it stays sharp worn open — which is how most people actually wear it.
-
Works Both Directions: Formal enough over a suit, relaxed enough over a roll-neck and jeans.

Size and care: Cut close through the waist — if you plan to wear it over tailoring, size up one. Dry clean only. Brush down after wear and hang on a broad wooden hanger to hold the shoulder line between wears.
