The statement piece for a crisp Australian winter. Aveline is a premium, long-line tweed coat designed for the woman who wants to stay properly warm without sacrificing a sharp, professional silhouette. What Makes It Work Premium Tweed Fabric: We’ve used a high-quality, dense tweed blend that provides substantial warmth. It’s heavy enough to block a biting wind in Christchurch, yet light enough to move with you comfortably throughout the day. Heritage Check Pattern: The classic plaid design isn't just a trend; it’s a timeless look that adds instant texture to your outfit. It’s the kind of coat that makes you look "sorted" even if you’re just wearing a basic tee underneath. Tailored Silhouette: This isn't a boxy, oversized fit. Aveline features a structured, feminine cut that cinches slightly at the waist to give you a clean frame, even when layered over a winter knit. Traditional Notch Lapels: The sharp collar design provides a polished, executive feel. It’s perfect for the office, but you can easily pop the collar for a bit of extra protection against the breeze during a coastal walk. Durable Finishing: From the reinforced buttons to the smooth interior lining, this coat is built to last more than just one season. It’s a true investment piece for your winter wardrobe. The Details Material: Premium Tweed blend (Lining: 100% Satin) Weight: 1.2kg (Heavyweight warmth) Length: Long-line (hits below the knee) Pockets: Two deep side-entry pockets for your essentials What Actually Fits (Layering) Fine-gauge merino jumpers (like Hugo™) ✓ A structured office blazer or suit jacket ✓ Large smartphone and leather gloves in pockets ✓ Chunky, oversized "balloon-sleeve" knits ✗ (May feel a bit tight in the sleeves due to the tailored cut) Color Descriptions Forest Plaid: A deep, earthy green check that feels right at home in the Australian outdoors (Donkergroen).

Winter Weddings or formal evening events where a puffer jacket just won’t cut it. Gallery openings or dinner dates where you want a "statement" piece. South Island travel where the morning frost requires serious insulation. Anyone looking for a "grown-up" coat that balances heritage style with modern warmth. Care Instructions Dry Clean Only. Tweed requires professional care to maintain its structure and texture. Use a garment steamer to refresh the fabric and remove creases—never use a flat iron directly on the tweed. Store on a wide, padded hanger to prevent the weight of the coat from stretching the shoulders. If it gets caught in a light NZ drizzle, hang it in a ventilated room away from direct heaters to dry naturally.
