Quilt Lined Duck Work Coat with Hood

A hooded work coat in fine duck with a quilted lining, cut long enough to cover the lower back.

Length is what separates a coat from a jacket, and on a cold job it is the difference that matters: bending over stops being the moment the cold gets in. The quilted lining gives warmth without the bulk of full insulation, so the coat stays wearable indoors as well as out, and the hood is fixed so there is nothing to fetch when the weather turns. Cedar green and black are the colours.

Size it over a hoodie. This is the coat for a long, damp, unremarkable winter rather than an arctic one, and that describes most winters. Wear it for work, then keep wearing it at the weekend, which is what happens to every coat in this shape.
