A long camel wrap coat that does the work of a whole outfit
Some coats need a lot of help from what is underneath. This one does not. It is a long overcoat in a camel and taupe-brown fabric with a herringbone look, a big shawl collar, a belt that ties at the waist, and deep cuffs turned back at the wrist. Put it on over a plain sweater and jeans and the outfit looks finished.
We bought this plus size camel wool wrap coat for women because the shape is generous and easy. The fit is relaxed and slightly oversized, so it is not cut to cling. The hem falls below the knee to mid-calf, which covers a lot of leg on a cold walk to the car or the train.
It is a wrap coat in the real sense. There are no visible buttons on the front. You wrap one side over the other and tie the belt, and you decide how snug or loose the waist sits.
Our price is $149, with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for a coat you will actually reach for
The shawl collar and wide lapel
The collar is the first thing you notice. It is large and shaped as a shawl, so it works as a wide lapel too. Worn open, it frames the neckline and lies flat across the chest. Pulled up, it gives a bit of cover around the neck on a windy day.
A big collar also keeps the front of the coat simple. You do not need a scarf to make it look complete, though you can add one when it is really cold.
The self-tie belt
The belt is made of the same fabric as the coat and ties at the front. That matters for fit. Tie it snug and you get a defined waist under the heavier fabric. Tie it loosely and the coat hangs straight and easy. You can also leave it undone and let the front fall open over a dress or a long knit.
Because there are no buttons or zips to line up, the coat is forgiving when your layers change from week to week. A thin shirt in October and a chunky sweater in January both work with the same belt.
Deep turned-back cuffs
The sleeves are full length and finish in deep cuffs turned back at the wrist. They add structure and a little weight at the sleeve, and they show off the herringbone-look fabric. They also give you some room to adjust: the cuff sits clear of your hand when you are wearing a sweater with a thicker sleeve.
Fabric and feel
The coat is made in a thick, structured fabric with a herringbone look in a warm camel and taupe-brown tone. In the photos it holds its shape well, with a clean, minimal finish. It looks like a coat meant for the cold part of the year, and the listing describes it as a thick autumn and winter piece.
On the material, here is what we know and what we do not. The listing gives the material composition as polyester, and the coat is filed under wool and blends. We do not have a fiber percentage breakdown, and we do not have confirmed details on lining, so we will not guess at them. If a detail like that matters to you, contact us before ordering.
The fabric is listed as solid, with no stretch mentioned. Treat it as a woven coat fabric with a relaxed cut, and let the cut do the work of giving you room.
Care instructions
No care label details came with the listing, so check the label sewn into your coat when it arrives and follow it first. These general habits suit most structured winter coats:
- Hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger so the shoulders and collar keep their shape.
- Brush off dust and lint with a soft clothes brush.
- Spot clean small marks gently rather than soaking the whole coat.
- Let it air out after wearing, away from direct heat.
- If it needs a full clean, take it to a professional cleaner and show them the label.
- Store it with room around it, not squashed behind other coats.
Size guide
This coat is offered in sizes S, M and L, and it is cut loose with a relaxed, slightly oversized fit.
We have to be plain about one thing. The supplier has not published a full size chart for this coat, so we cannot give you bust, waist or hip numbers for each size. We will not guess at them, because all sales are final and a wrong guess costs you. The measuring steps below will help you decide, and you are welcome to contact us with your measurements before you order.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure and wear the kind of layer you would normally have under the coat, such as a sweater.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, with the tape level across your back.
- Shoulders: Measure straight across your back from one shoulder point to the other.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
- Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder point down the outside of your arm to where you want the cuff to end.
- Height and hem: Note where mid-calf falls on you. The hem on this coat sits below the knee to mid-calf, so on a shorter frame it will fall lower, and on a taller frame a bit higher.
Write the numbers down. Compare them with a coat you already own that fits well over a sweater, because the coat you own is often the best size reference you have.
Which size should I choose?
Because the cut is loose and there is no published chart, a few simple rules help.
If you are comfortably in the middle of a size range in your usual coats, choose the size you normally wear in outerwear. The relaxed shape gives you room for layers.
If you are between sizes, or you plan to wear thick knits under it, go up. The wrap front and belt give you room to adjust, but they cannot add width in the shoulders or sleeves.
If you are shopping for a plus size fit, be aware that the sizes offered stop at L and the supplier has not published measurements. The coat is cut loose, which helps, but we cannot promise it will fit every body. Send us your bust, shoulder and hip measurements before you order and we will tell you honestly what we can see.
How to style it
Camel is easy to wear because it sits comfortably with nearly every color. Here are a few combinations that suit this coat.
- Jeans and a knit. A cream or gray sweater, straight or wide-leg jeans and ankle boots. This is the everyday version.
- Dark neutrals. Black trousers and a black turtleneck under the camel give a sharp, simple look.
- Dress or skirt. A midi dress or a knit skirt with tall boots works well, with the coat tied loosely so the hem peeks out.
- Tonal layers. Browns, tans and creams together look rich and quiet.
- Color against camel. Navy, deep green or wine red underneath look good with the warm tone of the coat.
Tie the belt snug when you want shape and a bit of definition. Leave it loose when you want the relaxed, oversized look. A long scarf is optional, since the large collar already fills the neckline.
Where else you can wear it
A long coat like this earns its place by fitting into more than one part of your week.
- Work. Over a blouse and trousers or a dress, it looks professional without trying.
- Weekends. It covers a sweatshirt and leggings on a school run or a trip to the market, and still looks put together.
- Evenings out. Over a dress for dinner or a holiday gathering, the long line covers your outfit and keeps you warm between the car and the door.
- Travel. It is a good layer for airports and trains, where the temperature changes a lot. The belt and open front make it easy to take off and carry.

Why shop with Coat Raven
Coat Raven is a shop that only sells coats, so we spend our time on one thing. We write about each coat from what we can see and what the supplier lists, and we tell you when something is not known. You will not find invented fabric percentages or made-up claims here.
Our prices are in US dollars, shipping to the US is free, and our policy on damaged, defective or wrong items is straightforward. Because all sales are final for fit and change of mind, we would rather help you pick the right size before you buy. If you are unsure, contact us.
Frequently asked questions
The front of the coat is a wrap style with no visible buttons in the photos. It closes by wrapping one side over the other and tying the self-tie belt at the waist. The supplier's specs mention button decoration and a double-breasted closure, so the details may differ slightly from the photos. The photos are what we describe here.
Is it a real wool coat?
The fabric has a wool-blend look and the coat is listed under wool and blends. The listed material composition, though, is polyester, and we do not have a fiber percentage breakdown. We would rather say that than promise something we cannot confirm.
The coat is cut relaxed and slightly oversized, and it is offered in S, M and L. No size chart is published, so we cannot give measurements for each size. If you are shopping for plus size, send us your bust, shoulder and hip measurements before ordering and we will give you an honest answer.
How long is it?
The hem falls below the knee to mid-calf in the photos. The exact length on you depends on your height, so measure from your shoulder to where you want the hem to sit and compare.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
All sales are final, so we do not accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your coat arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, we will replace or refund it within 14 days of delivery. Shipping is free to the US and takes 7 to 14 business days.
