Product Insights
The Cropped Felted Reprocessed Wool Coat by Contemporaine, a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, offers a core promise of sustainable, three-season versatility at a $195 price point that rivals $250+ coats. Made from 60% reprocessed wool and 40% nylon, its double-sided felt construction traps heat without bulk or lining, while the cropped boxy silhouette layers easily over chunky knits and under overcoats. A full zip and snap placket enable two styling looks, and buttoned cuffs adjust fit. The main tradeoff: it may pill in friction areas, but a fabric shaver resolves this; also, it is designed for fall to early winter, not extreme cold.
Verified claims
- Layering
- Boxy cut with dropped shoulders layers easily over chunky knits and under overcoats for three-season versatility.
- Silhouette
- Double-sided felt and nylon blend maintain the cropped boxy shape without slouching.
- Styling
- Pairs with high-waisted bottoms for a continuous elongated line.
- Hardware features
- High stand collar, full-length zipper under a snap placket, hand-rest pockets, buttoned cuffs, and a center back vent complete the front and body.
- Double-sided felt
- Double-sided felt traps air for insulation and eliminates the need for a lining, leaving a clean self-finished interior.
- Material
- 60% reprocessed wool and 40% nylon: nylon reinforces fibers to reduce pilling
- Construction
- Because the double-sided felt is finished cleanly on both faces, the coat needs no lining, eliminating internal friction and excess weight while keeping it a three-season layering piece.
- Care
- May pill in friction areas but easily removed with a fabric shaver.
- Durability
- Nylon blend reinforces the felt for abrasion resistance and shape retention, while felted construction gives fray-proof edges and a clean unlined interior.
- Warmth
- Lightweight double-sided felt traps body heat for three-season warmth without the bulk of a heavy winter coat.
- Provenance
- Simons exclusive designed in Canada, unavailable elsewhere.
- Cuffs
- Buttoned cuffs are present; on similar coats they typically allow sleeve-width adjustment by buttoning or leaving them unbuttoned, though the listing does not explicitly confirm function.
- Closure
- The full-length zipper can be worn closed without the snap placket for a clean line, or fastened with the snap placket to block wind and hide the hardware.
- Weather protection
- High stand collar traps heat, while the boxy fit accommodates warm base and mid layers.
- Seasonality
- Designed as a lightweight three-season transitional layer for fall, early winter, and early spring, not a deep-winter coat.
- Reversibility
- The double-sided felt has two finished sides, but the coat is not reversible; the full-length zip closure under a snap flap is designed for one orientation.
- Sizing
- Buyers say the coat runs large, and several recommend sizing down for a less oversized fit.
- Care instructions
- The Simons listing gives the care instruction as "Professionally clean," meaning dry cleaning is the recommended care to preserve the reprocessed wool felt's texture and shape.
- Breathability
- Reprocessed wool retains wool's natural breathability and moisture-wicking, so the coat functions as a breathable warm layer rather than a stuffy synthetic jacket.
- Style
- Buyers describe the cut as impeccable and the look as sporty and chic at the same time.
- Color
- The coat's ecru colorway is a pale ecru with the muted tonal depth of recycled wool rather than a flat, solid tone.
- Reprocessed wool origin
- The reprocessed wool is pre-consumer reclaimed fiber made from fabric scraps that were never previously used in a finished garment, not post-consumer shoddy; it is not merino or cashmere.

This coat is so cute
Snuggly soft coat. The sleeves are the perfect length for my long arms but I had to size down so i wasn’t too oversized. Even in the smaller size I can layer nicely if the weather dictates.
perfect for in between seasons
Versatile and warm for late winter, early spring. I usually wear a large but that was too big.
Magnifique veste!
Coupe impeccable. Sportive et chic en même temps.
Magnifique!
Parfait avec une longue jupe ou jeans 👖 à taille haute.
