This is the sort of coat that makes tartan feel sharp, not costume. The palette is rich and grounded, with a classic green base crossed with red, white, and fine dark lines that read as tailored and intentional.

Made under the Philip Askew London label and made in New Zealand, it is cut in a clean, straight silhouette with a wide notched collar that frames the neckline beautifully. The front closes with tonal buttons, and the coat keeps its lines tidy through the body, giving you that polished, column-like shape that vintage does so well.

At the hips, the coat features flap pockets with a smart angled detail that echoes the check, adding structure without adding bulk. It is the kind of piece that sits neatly over knitwear and dresses, then still looks composed when worn open.

Fabric-wise, it has that fine wool blend feel with a smooth finish that holds shape and wears with confidence. A proper outer layer, made for real life.
