Sweetness meets soft tailoring with this lovely style, designed for fabrics like denim, corduroy, twill, or heavy linen, but equally yummy in a double knit, or any medium or lightweight coat fabric. Slim-fit Coat has shoulder Princess seams, Mandarin collar, and optional lining. Coat features patch pockets with flaps, 2-piece below elbow length sleeves and half-belt trim on the back and cuffs. Piping, stitch trim plus a concealed front button fastening gives a clean finish. Coat has a gently flared shape and finishes just above the knee. Wear this beautiful Coat over our Riviera Hello, Sailor! Pants or our Weekender Jean Jeanius Trouser Jeans with a simple T-Shirt for off-duty chic, or team it with our Riviera Dietrich Pants & Vest and our Riviera Pennant Blouse for a great dressy-casual outfit.
