Product Insights
Harris Wharf London's Double-Breasted Boiled Wool Overcoat is a made-to-order, unlined overcoat from a Turin factory rooted in a 1928 glove workshop; it uses 100% virgin wool from local Italian mills, fulled into a soft, dense, non-itchy shell that sheds rain and snow, absorbs up to 30% moisture without feeling damp, and layers over a suit jacket for temperatures around freezing, but not extreme cold. Its double-breasted peak-lapel cut and close fit suit taller, slimmer wearers, while the core tradeoff is careful maintenance: dry-clean only, dry flat, store folded, and accept that unlined elbows and neck stretch over time — costs that preserve a 20–30-year lifespan and a clean, office-safe silhouette.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Italian options 48–54 map to US 38–44; the double-breasted cut is close, so choose up for layering.
- Layering
- Unlined straight silhouette with back vent, peak lapels, and welt pockets fits over a suit jacket; felted wool insulates enough for temperatures around freezing, and a smooth shirt helps sleeves slide.
- Silhouette
- Double-breasted overlap and peak lapels broaden the upper body, flattering taller, slimmer wearers.
- Care
- Steam, don't iron; air the coat between wears instead of washing; dry-clean only and dry flat when wet; store folded off-season. Machine washing can shrink boiled wool roughly 20%.
- Warmth
- Naturally insulating and wind-resistant boiled wool; with layering, suitable for around freezing (0°C/32°F) but not extreme cold.
- Wet weather
- Light rain, mist, and snow bead and roll off, but wet snow and steady cold rain will soak in; the coat is water-resistant, not waterproof.
- Moisture handling
- Can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp.
- Shape retention
- Unlined wool is prone to stretching at elbows and neck; a hanger and rest days preserve the fit.
- Cleaning
- Machine washing can shrink this coat roughly 20%; professional dry cleaning is recommended, and only light spot cleaning should be attempted at home.
- Drying
- Hanging this coat wet stretches the wool — dry it flat on a towel instead.
- Storage
- Off-season, store this coat folded in a breathable cotton bag; hanging it distorts the shoulders.
- Craft lineage
- Made in Italy at the Acchiardi family's Turin factory, which opened as a glove workshop in 1928.
- Sourcing
- 100% virgin boiled wool with bouclé texture; all fabric offcuts go to an Italian yarn recycler.
- Made to order
- Label makes full-price coats to order, leaving almost no leftover stock.
- Retail placement
- Harris Wharf London is stocked at Dover Street Market, Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue and Net-a-Porter.
- Fabric performance
- 100% virgin wool, boiled: fulling shrinks the knit 20–50% into a dense shell.
- Drape
- Felted 300-600 g/m² shell holds double-breasted lines yet moves with the body through its back vent.
- Hand feel
- Soft, felted surface is non-itchy against skin; unlined sleeves go on easiest over smooth, fine long-sleeve layers.
- Unlined interior
- Unlined sleeves slide easily over fine smooth shirts, while textured knits grip the wool.
- Interior finishing
- Unlined interior exposes seams; bound or Hong Kong-finished seams are the durability cue.
- Longevity
- Unlined wear can stretch the elbows and pill under straps; rotating and hanging keeps the coat's shape for decades.
- Buttoning
- Wear it buttoned with the bottom button left open, as on a double-breasted suit.
- Styling
- Office-safe double-breasted styling — no more casual than dress trousers and a button-up.
- Formality
- Double-breasted peak-lapel cut ranks above single-breasted overcoats and below double-breasted suits.
- Lifespan
- Boiled wool lasts 20–30 years with proper care—about 43–65 CAD per year.
- Fabric durability
- Boiled wool resists pilling and holds up at collar and cuffs.
- Fit and sizing
- Italian sizing runs true to size: size 50 equals a US 40R chest; 48 = US 38, 52 = US 42, 54 = US 44. Between sizes or planning to layer over a suit jacket, size up.
- Internal construction
- Unlined raw-edge tailoring has minimal internal construction; the structured shape comes from dense felted boiled wool and tailored seams rather than chest canvas or shoulder padding.
- Length
- The coat is cut to a knee-length silhouette.
