Firle Coat
Reminiscent of the 60’s Duffle Coat, the Firle has a generous cut, super easy to stitch Raglan sleeves and a cosy hood. Toggle fastenings mean no tricky buttonholes either.
For more confident sewers, it also comes with an option to line it, adding a touch of luxury and added warmth. Size the coat down if you prefer a snug fit.
