A roomy, long coat with soft shoulders and a calm shape
This is a knee length oversized wool coat with dropped shoulders, made for people who want a coat that goes over everything and still looks tidy. The cut is a cocoon: wide through the shoulders and body, with full puff sleeves and a stand collar that sits close to the neck.
One note on length before anything else. In our photos, the black coat falls below the knee, to about mid-calf. If you want a true knee-skimming hem, this one runs a little longer. If you like a coat that covers most of your legs in cold wind, that extra length helps.
The front is single-breasted, so it closes in one clean line with no double layer of fabric across the chest. The fabric looks soft and heavy in the photos, and the solid color keeps the whole shape simple. It comes in apricot, green, black, beige and pink.
Why it works for women who want an easy, roomy winter coat
This coat suits you if you dislike coats that feel tight across the back or pinch when you reach for something. The shape does the work, so you don't need to fuss with it.
Dropped shoulders and puff sleeves
The shoulder seam sits lower than your natural shoulder, and the sleeves are loose and voluminous. That means room for a chunky knit or a blazer underneath, and room to move your arms without the coat riding up.
The puff in the sleeve gives the coat its character. It reads as relaxed, not stiff. If you carry a bag on your shoulder, the loose cut also keeps the strap from bunching against a structured shoulder pad.
A stand collar and single-breasted front
The stand collar stands up around the neck without the bulk of a big lapel. You can wear a scarf inside it or leave it bare. Because it has no folded-over collar, it works well with a slim scarf or none at all.
The single-breasted closure keeps the front plain and easy to fasten. The listing says the coat opens fully down the front, so you can put it on and take it off like any standard coat.
Fabric and feel
The listing title calls this a woolen coat, and the photos show a soft, dense, heavy-looking fabric with a smooth, even surface. The material field in the product details lists polyester, so we describe it as a woolen-look coat and not as pure wool. We have no fiber breakdown beyond that, and we won't guess at one.
The listed thickness is standard. That puts it in the range of a regular autumn and winter coat. In deep cold, plan on layering a sweater or a thin down vest underneath. The cocoon cut leaves room for that.
We have no information on lining or stretch, so we won't claim either. Check the inside of the coat when it arrives.
Care instructions
No care label details came with the listing, so the care tag sewn into the coat is the final word. These general habits suit most coats in this kind of fabric:
- Hang it on a wide hanger so the dropped shoulders keep their shape.
- Brush off lint and dust with a soft clothes brush.
- Spot clean small marks gently with a damp cloth before they set.
- Let it air out after a day of wear instead of washing it often.
- For a full clean, follow the label. Many coats like this are dry cleaned, but check first.
- Keep it away from direct heat, such as a radiator or a hot iron pressed straight on the fabric.
Size guide
The coat is offered in sizes S, M and L.
How to measure
We don't have a published size chart for this coat, so measure yourself and compare with how you like your coats to fit. Use a soft tape measure and wear a thin layer.
- Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across your back.
- Shoulder: measure from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other across your upper back.
- Sleeve: measure from the shoulder bone down your slightly bent arm to your wrist.
- Height: this affects where the hem lands. On a shorter frame, expect it to fall lower on the calf. On a taller frame, it may sit closer to the knee.
The only length figures we have are 60, 61 and 62 cm for S, M and L. They don't match a coat that falls past the knee, so don't use them as the coat length.
Which size should I choose?
Because the cut is oversized, your usual size should give you the loose, cocoon look shown in the photos. If you want it a bit roomier, you could size up, but the coat is already cut full, and too much extra width can make the shoulders look larger than intended.
If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, stay with your usual size, since there is already room. If you are between sizes and prefer a cleaner line, take the smaller one. If you like to layer heavily, take the larger.
All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit, so take a minute to compare your measurements with a coat you already own and like.
How to style it
The shape is big, so keep what's underneath simpler.
- With jeans and boots: a fitted knit or turtleneck, straight or slim jeans, and ankle boots. The coat supplies the volume, so the rest can stay close to the body.
- With a skirt or dress: a midi skirt or a slip dress looks good under a calf-length coat, with tall boots or loafers and tights.
- With tailored trousers: wear a thin sweater and trousers for the office. The coat sits easily over a blazer because of the dropped shoulders.
- With a scarf: the stand collar leaves space for a slim scarf, tucked in or draped loosely.
- With a belt: the black coat in our photos has no belt, so if you want a defined waist, add your own belt over the coat. It will change the cocoon shape, though, so try it at home.
Color changes the mood. Black is the easiest to wear with everything. Beige and apricot are softer and lighter and look good with cream knits and denim. Green and pink are bolder choices, so keep the rest of the outfit quiet.
Where else you can wear it
This knee length oversized wool coat with dropped shoulders is a good everyday layer for fall and winter. A few places it fits in:
- Commuting: it covers most of your legs on the walk to the train or bus, and the roomy sleeves go over a work jacket.
- Weekend errands: it is easy to throw on over a sweater and jeans.
- Dinners and evenings out: the long, simple line looks neat over a dress or dressy trousers.
- Travel: a roomy coat works as an extra layer on a cold airport day, and it can double as a light blanket on a plane.

Why shop with Coat Raven
Coat Raven is a shop for coats, and that's all we focus on. We write descriptions from the product photos and the details we have, and where we don't know something, we say so instead of filling the gap.
In this case that means telling you the coat runs longer than knee length, that the material is listed as polyester despite the woolen title, and that we don't have a full size chart. We would rather you know that before you order.
Shipping to the US is free, and the price is $139.
Frequently asked questions
Is this coat real wool?
The listing title calls it a woolen coat, but the material field lists polyester. We treat it as a woolen-look coat and don't claim it is pure wool. We have no fiber breakdown beyond that.
Is it really knee length?
It falls below the knee in our photos, to about mid-calf on the model. Your height will change where the hem lands, so it may sit a little higher on a taller person.
Does it have a lining or a belt?
We have no confirmed details on lining, and the black coat in our photos shows no belt. We would rather not guess, so we only describe what the photos show.
What size should I order?
Your usual size should give the loose cocoon fit. We don't have a published size chart, so measure your bust and shoulders and compare them with a coat you like. If you plan to wear thick knits underneath, there is already room in the cut.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
No. 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 or refund it within 14 days of delivery.
