Red Wool Coat with Faux Fur Collar, Lucy

The Lucy Wool Coat with Faux Fur Collar in Red is a long-fiber wool coat in deep red, double-breasted, fitted through the waist with a skirt that flares to the knee, with a detachable faux fur collar in tonal red finished with pompom ties and a full Bemberg lining. It is the arrival coat for the holiday and gala calendar: the weight of the wool and the tailored construction make the arrival the photograph of the evening.

Fabric
Long-fiber wool at 460 grams per square meter, handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. The 460 GSM weight gives the coat the body to hold a tailored silhouette through arrival, cocktail hour, and coat check. The deep red is set through a dye process tested for fade resistance across 300+ wearings. The detachable faux fur collar in tonal red fastens with concealed snaps; take it off and the coat softens into a red wool coat for the working day. Full Bemberg lining at the body and sleeves with hand-finished interior seams.

Fit
True to size, with a shoulder cut precisely enough to sit cleanly over a tailored blazer or a structured evening dress. The body fits comfortably over a knit or blouse under a blazer. The sleeve clears a blazer cuff by 1/2 inch. The hem sits at or just below the knee. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer line or the larger for more room to layer. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements. The length is 40” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.

Styling
For Christmas and December event arrivals, over the Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress in Midnight Blue or the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux, deep color on deep color.
For New Year's Eve, with the Aria Jumpsuit in Black for a high-contrast formal arrival.
For a 60th or 70th birthday, the coat carries the photograph; the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Yellow adds an unexpected note of color.
For mother of the bride at a winter wedding, the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Black sits cleanly under the coat with the collar on.
Hold 1 metal tone across all hardware; gold reads warmer with red than silver.

Care
Dry clean only, once a season for moderate wear, twice during a heavy holiday quarter. Brush the wool after every wear with a stiff-bristle clothes brush. Store hung on a wide padded hanger inside a garment bag; folding creates a permanent crease at the back seam. Steam to refresh between wears, or iron on low if needed. Do not bleach. Cedar bags during off-season storage.

What to wear it over

The red Lucy stops at the knee, 40 inches measured from the back of the neck on a size 2, with a full skirt that flares from princess seams. We cut the shoulder to sit cleanly over a tailored blazer or a structured evening dress. Red looks strong against the navy metallic of the Navy Off-Shoulder Maxi Gown, Iris ($770), and the Beige Maxi Lace Gown, Bruna ($595) is the softer pairing in champagne lace. Both gowns come from the same Pozarevac atelier as the coat. The Navy Wrap Dress, Olga ($695) is the office pairing and ends an inch above the coat hem.

Questions buyers ask about the Lucy Wool Coat in Red

How does the red Lucy coat fit, and what size does the model wear?

The Lucy runs true to size, and the shoulder is cut to sit cleanly over a tailored blazer or a structured evening dress. On a size 2 it measures 40 inches from the back of the neck to the hem, with a skirt that flares from a fitted waist. Our model is 5 foot 9 and wears size 2, and the Luna sizing guide helps you choose between a closer line and more room to layer.

What is the Lucy coat made of, and how do I care for it?

The shell is 100% long fiber wool at 460 grams per square meter, lined in 100% Bemberg cupro, with a detachable faux fur collar in tonal red that fastens with concealed snaps. It is dry clean only, about once a season for moderate wear, and a stiff clothes brush after each wear does the rest. Hang it on a wide padded hanger in a garment bag, since folding leaves a crease at the back seam.

What do I wear with the red Lucy, and for which occasions?

For a Christmas party, wear it over the Burgundy Lace Cocktail Dress, Jody ($550), and on New Year's Eve the Black Jumpsuit, Aria ($595) gives you a sharp black contrast. Unsnap the collar on Monday and the same coat goes to the office. Our guide The Art of Winter Coats and the Gala Outerwear collection cover the evenings in between.

How quickly does the red Lucy arrive, and can I return it?

We ship the Lucy free within the US, and it arrives in 2 to 5 days from our US warehouse. If the coat does not sit well over the dress you planned, return it within 30 days with no questions asked.
