A roomy, hooded coat that covers you from head to knee
This is a long, loose coat made for cold days when you want one layer that does the heavy lifting. It has a hood, a single-breasted button front, big pockets and full-length sleeves, and it ends around the knee in our photos.
If you have been looking for a knee length hooded wool coat for women that does not look fussy, this one is a good place to start. The lines are straight and simple. The color is solid. There is no belt or pattern to work around, so it goes over most of what you already own.
It comes in two colors, Gray and Khaki. Sizes run S, M, L, XL and XXL. It is priced at $119 and ships free to the US.
A quick note on the photos. The listing images show a few versions of the coat, and some details differ between them. One shows a taupe or oatmeal coat with a drawstring hood, a notch collar and large buttons. Another shows a beige coat with a gray inner side, an open front and side slits. A third shows a red, belted, double-breasted style. The product details for the coat we sell list a single-breasted front with a full opening, decorated with buttons, pockets and a hood. If a particular photo detail matters to you, such as a belt or side slits, please write to us before you order and we will check.
Why it works for everyday cold-weather wear
This coat suits a woman who wants warmth and coverage without a stiff, tailored look. It is cut loose, it has a hood for wind and light rain or snow, and the pockets are large enough to actually use.
The hood and collar
The hood is the feature that sets this coat apart from a standard long wool coat. On cold, windy mornings you can pull it up and skip the scarf, or leave it down and let it sit at the back of your neck like a soft collar.
In the taupe photo, the hood has a drawstring, so you can cinch it a little around your face. The same photo also shows a notch collar. We would describe the hood as a practical feature rather than a decorative one, though it looks neat when worn down too.
Because the hood is built into the coat, you do not need to think about a hat on a mild day. On a very cold day, you can still add a hat or earmuffs and the hood should have room for them, though we would not promise how much room without a published measurement.
The pockets are large and sit on the front of the coat. Our photos show patch-style pockets on the taupe version and side pockets on the beige one. Either way, they are big enough for gloves, a phone, keys or a small wallet, and for warming your hands.
The front closes with a single row of large buttons. The coat opens fully down the front, so it is easy to put on over bulky clothes and easy to take off in a warm restaurant or office. Buttons are also used at the cuffs in the taupe photo, which lets you tidy the sleeve ends or turn them back slightly.
Fabric and feel
The coat is sold as a wool-look, double-sided coat. The listing describes it as a double-faced style, and the photos show a soft, brushed surface. In the beige photo, you can see a gray inner side, which suggests the two faces of the fabric are different shades.
The material composition listed in the product details is polyester. The outerwear category is Wool & Blends, and the weight is described as thick. We do not have a fiber breakdown beyond that, so we will not tell you how much wool, if any, is in it. We also do not have information about a separate lining or about stretch, so please do not assume either.
What we can say from the photos is that the fabric looks dense and soft, with a smooth drape rather than a stiff, boxy structure. It is meant for autumn and winter. In very cold weather you will want a sweater underneath, as you would with most coats of this kind.
Care instructions
No care label details came with our product information, so the safest approach is to check the label sewn into the coat when it arrives and follow it.
As general guidance for a polyester wool-look coat, brush off lint and dust with a soft clothes brush, spot clean marks gently, and hang the coat on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. Avoid high heat, since it can flatten or shine the surface. If you are not sure how to clean it, a dry cleaner can advise you based on the label.
Size guide
The coat is offered in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL, and it is cut to fit loosely.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure and measure over thin clothing, not over a bulky sweater.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across your back.
- Shoulders: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other across your back.
- Sleeve: Measure from the edge of your shoulder, down the outside of your slightly bent arm, to your wrist bone.
- Length: Measure from the base of your neck down to where you want the coat to end, such as just at or below the knee.
Write the numbers down and compare them with the size chart shown on this page. If any of your measurements fall between two sizes, read the next section.
Which size should I choose?
The cut is relaxed and straight, so most people will not need to size up for comfort. If you plan to wear it over thick knitwear, choose the size that fits your usual measurements and rely on the loose cut for the extra room.
If you are between sizes, think about how you want to wear it. Take the smaller size for a neater line with lighter layers. Take the larger size if you want to wear heavy sweaters under it or like a roomy, oversized look.
Length will vary with your height. The photos show the coat ending around the knee or just below it, but on a taller or shorter woman it will land higher or lower. Please note that all sales are final, so we recommend measuring before you order instead of guessing.
How to style it
The straight cut and solid color make this coat easy to wear with what you already have.
For work. Wear it over trousers, a knit top or a collared shirt, and flat boots or loafers. The long length covers a skirt or dress hem as well. Gray works well with black, navy and white. Khaki sits nicely with cream, brown and denim.
For weekends. Put it over jeans, a thick sweater and sneakers or ankle boots. Keep your hands in the large pockets and the hood down until you need it.
For dressier evenings. Leave the coat open over a dress or a fitted knit and a skirt. Because the front opens fully, it falls straight and clean when unbuttoned. Add a scarf in a contrasting color if you want some definition.
For very cold days. Button it all the way, pull up the hood and wear a hat or scarf underneath. Layer a fitted sweater or thin turtleneck under it, and choose a size that leaves room for them.
Where else you can wear it
This is a good coat for more than the daily commute.
- Travel: The long length and big pockets are handy for airports and train stations. You can keep a passport, phone and gloves close at hand.
- School runs and errands: The hood helps in light rain or wind while you walk to the car or wait outside.
- Holiday gatherings: A neutral coat fits in with both casual and dressier outfits, and it is simple to slip off at the door.
- Walks and outdoor events: It is warm enough for a cold-weather stroll, though it is a fashion coat and not technical outerwear, so we would not rely on it in heavy rain or snow.

Why shop with Coat Raven
Coat Raven is a shop that focuses on coats, so we spend our time on one thing: describing them clearly. We try to tell you what we can see in the photos and what the product details say, and we say so when we do not know something.
That is why this page tells you the composition is listed as polyester, that the photos show slightly different styles, and that our size chart is something you should check with a tape measure. We would rather you decide with accurate information than be surprised when the box arrives.
Shipping to the US is free, and our prices are in US dollars with no extra charges added at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Is this coat made of real wool?
The product details list the material composition as polyester, and the category is Wool & Blends. The listing title uses wool and cashmere-style wording, but we do not have a fiber breakdown, so we cannot say it contains wool. Think of it as a wool-look coat.
Does the hood come off?
We do not know that it detaches, and the photos do not show a removable hood. Treat the hood as built into the coat.
Is this coat warm enough for winter?
It is listed as thick and made for autumn and winter. For mild to cold days it should work well with a sweater under it. For very cold weather, add warmer layers and a hat or scarf, since we have no information on insulation or a separate lining.
How long is the coat?
In the photos, the coat ends around the knee or just below it. The exact length on you depends on your height and your size. Check the size chart on this page for measurements.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If the coat arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, we will replace it or refund you within 14 days of delivery. That is why we encourage you to measure carefully before ordering.
