The 'A' Wrap Coat - Forest Plaid
100% Wool
This product belongs to the Artefacts, available exclusively upon request.
A flowy and free form bathrobe-like wrap coat that combines a highly durable cloth, drapes gracefully, feels substantial yet agile, expressing a unique flair and drama with the sensibility of casual elegance.
This design is a Balmacaan style, raglan-sleeved, A-line, over-the-knee coat. It features a loose fit, dropped shoulders and a hidden placket that evokes the warm despite relaxed construction of a bathrobe, retaining an overall simplicity and minimality of design. With the inclusion of a belt and exclusion of a vent, once strapped around the waist, it adds shape to its voluminous silhouette, lending the whole affair a generous form, creating what we describe as 'drama'.
The material is a deadstock 25/26oz (700gm) woollen cloth from Fox Brothers. It features an impactful colour palette, with a comprehensive range of colours one can depict in the deep forest.

100% Supima Cotton
An extension to our iconic knitted t-shirt, this is a piece designed with cooler seasons in mind, knitted in long sleeves and heftier yarn. A reinterpreted design inspired by the fishermen's sweaters and vintage sportswear, this is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.
The sweater style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. The detail allows the sweater to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
This product is made of 6-ply Supima cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement). Incorporating full knitted construction, this knitwear gives a structured body and shaping, while can still being able to be machine-washed. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a suit, sport jacket or Lazyman Jacket. Colour-wise we suggest black, brown, grey and khaki. Boots and sneakers are also suitable.
Also available in 7 other colours.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only.

For the first time, we’ve let the cut of our trousers be the pièce de résistance, emphasizing form and flow.
These 'leisure trousers' feature a free-flowing silhouette that transitions effortlessly from a straight wide leg to a bootcut, exuding presence and drama. They showcase a soft, unstructured 'Hollywood' waist, offering a moderate high-rise fit that perfectly complements their wide-legged design. Crafted without waistbands and double forward pleats, these trousers sit higher on the waist without restricting comfort, providing a liberating fit.
This flannel is exquisitely woven, featuring a delectable mélange of grey interspersed with warm hints of fawn and soft brown. It combines softness with structural integrity, offering a generous flow and drape that ensures every movement is expressive. The mildly twisted construction underneath helps maintain the shape of the trousers, providing both elegance and durability.
Pair this with: Knitted Sweater in dark camel or cocoa, Sport Jacket in caviar, navy, or Goodman Jacket in camelhair and Wool/Cashmere scarf.
Care tips: Dry clean only

We are delighted to co-create this street slipper with Bowhill & Elliott, the last remaining slipper maker in the UK. This esteemed house still upholds the traditional ethos of "make in the back, sell in the front," with the entire shoemaking process taking place within two floors.
The upper pattern of the street slipper is meticulously hand-cut from a single piece, resulting in a more fluid and seamless design. Departing from the conventional Albert-style evening slipper, this tailored creation features a shorter vamp and eliminates sharp turns on the tongue, maintaining a consistently soft contour. This complements the natural curves of our tailoring, allowing for a more casual styling option. Imagine a standard slip-on loafer, but refined with one-piece leather and a thin, hand-attached sole that closely hugs the bottom of the shoe, exuding an understated elegance. It pairs beautifully with trousers, denim, and shorts alike.
Crafted from grained deerskin in mocha, the upper is both supple and durable, allowing for comfortable movement in this hand-lasted slipper. This design elevates the common loafer, adding an extra touch of sophistication and individuality to your ensemble.
Summary:
- UK sizing
- Mocha deerskin upper
- Single leather sole. Topy (rubber) soles are recommended to be attached by your local cobbler before wearing
