Black Wool Wrap Coat, Nicole

The Nicole Wool Wrap Coat in Solid Black is a 480 grams per square meter long-fiber wool double-breasted coat in deep-saturation black with horsehair canvas lapel reinforcement, a wide collar, a self-fabric belt at the natural waist (made with a buckle belt, as shown, or a tie belt), and full Bemberg lining. The piece is built for daily executive wear, board meetings, evening pivots from daytime meetings to dinner, and year-round professional dressing where black is the foundational outerwear color.

Fabric
Long-fiber wool at 480 grams per square meter in deep-saturation black with hand-finished horsehair canvas lapel reinforcement, finished with a double-breasted front, a wide collar, a self-fabric belt, double-stitched shoulder construction, slash pockets, a fit-and-flare line to mid-calf, and re-linable construction at year 4. The deep-saturation black dye process holds tone across 500 plus wearings without fading or yellowing, the 480 gsm weight carries the fit-and-flare silhouette without crushing through long days, and the long-fiber wool resists pilling at the shoulder where commute friction shows first. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Nicole runs true to size with a fit-and-flare line through the waist. For a defined shape, fasten the belt at the natural waist. Between sizes, take the smaller. Double-breasted front, wide collar, slash pockets. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2. The length is 45” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.

Styling
Over the Aria Jumpsuit in Black for the gala arrival pivot where the coat opens to the architectural mesh bodice.
With the Barbara Tailored Blazer in Black layered underneath and the Barbara Wide-Leg Pants in Black for full executive black across the silhouette.
Open over the Lucy Draped Blouse in Ivory and tailored black trousers for soft-formal weekday styling with ivory-black contrast at the open lapel.
Carried with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black for tonal black evening pivots from board meeting to dinner.
Or over the Charlotte Elegant Midi Dress for fuchsia-and-black evening contrast at restaurant arrivals.
Coordinate metal tone consistently: silver and pearl hardware read modern with deep black; gold shifts the look warmer and slightly more traditional.

Care
Long-fiber wool, 480 grams per square meter, with full Bemberg lining and hand-finished horsehair canvas. Brush after every wear with a stiff-bristle clothes brush; the brushing alone lifts most surface debris. Dry clean only. Hang on a wide padded hanger, never wire or plastic. Cedar bags and breathable garment bag during summer storage.

What to wear it over

Of all the coats we make, the black Nicole suits the most Luna dresses. It ends at mid calf, 45 inches measured from the back of the neck on a size 2, and its full skirt goes over a sheath or a full midi. It runs 4 inches past the Black Off-Shoulder Cocktail Dress, Iris ($550), and the White Polka Dot Strapless Dress, Melissa ($770) finishes within an inch of the coat hem. Over the Black Cyclamen Floral Maxi Dress, Rina ($770), the embroidered skirt continues to the ankle. The Iris dress and this coat are made in our Pozarevac atelier, where the Rina embroidery is finished too.

Questions buyers ask about the Nicole black wrap coat

How does the Nicole black coat fit, and what size does the model wear?

The black Nicole is true to size, shaped at the waist with a skirt that flares toward mid calf. Fasten the belt at your natural waist for definition, and choose the smaller size if you are between two. Our model is 5 foot 9 and wears a size 2, where the coat measures 45 inches from the back of the neck, and the Luna sizing guide gives the full chart.

What is the Nicole black coat made of, and how do I care for it?

The shell is 100% long-fiber wool at 480 grams per square meter, lined in 100% Bemberg cupro, with horsehair canvas behind the lapels. Brush it after each wear with a stiff clothes brush, and send it to the dry cleaner only. Between wears, hang it on a wide padded hanger, never wire or plastic.

What do I wear with the Nicole black coat, and where can I wear it?

The black Nicole takes you from a board meeting to dinner without a change of coat. It runs 4 inches past the Iris Black Off-Shoulder Cocktail Dress ($550) for the evening, and over the Lucy Ivory Draped Blouse ($560) it shows ivory at the open lapel on a workday. Our story on the wrap coat at every age shows why the shape works, and the Business Outfits collection has the pieces to wear under it.
