♥ OCCASION: Work, play, day or night ~ just for looking beautiful as you go about your everyday life ~

♥ DESCRIPTION: A really stunning, very vintage inspired, black wool rich blend, riding equestrian or 40s style coat with distinctive & beautiful hour glass styling by Topshop ~ featuring a beautifully shaped, rounded collar & rounded lapels, with lovely piping to the edges ~ open soft v-neckline ~ double breasted buttoning to the front with black velvet buttons ~ and a very 'nipped in' waist style to the bodice of the coat, with seaming to accentuate the shape ~ and two mock flap pockets at sides. The coat does have other pockets ~ in the side seams of the coat. Long sleeves with turned back cuffs finished with black velvet buttons ~ so much attention to detail with this coat. 

Very full riding style shaped skirt, cleverly created by using extra panels of fabric and with gorgeous and generous soft pleating at the sides ~ a curvy 'nipped in' waist shape ~ and then the skirt flares out from the waist in a very 40s style. The back is very elegant, again creating the lovely curved hour-glass shape ~ simple yet elegant and with an understated sexiness, beautifully tailored with soft pleating to the skirt. Finished at back with a half back belt and with black velvet buttons at each end.  Beautifully tailored with curved seaming which arch in towards the waist. You will be amazed at this coat  ~ it looks stunning on, suiting all body shapes! xxx

Excellent condition. Please note that the Topshop label at back of neck has been snipped ~ however the inner size / care label with the Topshop brand is inside and intact.

Lovely Wool rich fabric ~ 59% Wool / 34% Polyester / 3% Viscose / 2% Acrylic / 2% Nylon creating a soft smooth felted wool, very like the high quality Felton wool used in military coats. In jet black with black velvet buttons. Fully lined in satin type silky black fabric.

Very rare to find ~ very sought after ~ one of Topshop's Premium Range ~ and one of their very best designs!!!

♥ STYLING: Equestrian & Victorian Trend ~ 

The distinctive and very elegantly sexy Victorian and equestrian looks are very on trend ~ and with their timeless elegance, always will be...

As design icon Ralph Lauren asserts 'equestrian is always in', perhaps because it can be worn with as much flair as fits your personality and always instils a sense of timeless class and subtle femininity as inherited by the Victorians who were able to achieve both rather admirably...so don the leather riding boots and delight in the gorgeous hour glass silhouette intrinsic of the tweed jacket, or just as striking, the flared riding coat, harking back again to the Victorian and Edwardian era.....
