An elegant Jean Muir coat, believed to date from the 1980s, in lightweight, unlined pure wool. Its deep midnight navy recalls the particular shade so closely associated with the designer, while the clean silhouette allows the extraordinary attention to detail to shine.
The angled patch pockets are a particular delight, their placement bringing a playful, graphic quality to the long, simple line. Gently puffed shoulders taper into slim sleeves with turnback cuffs, balanced by a neat stand collar. Rows of tonal topstitching define the collar, cuffs and pockets with quiet precision.
The translucent, ridged Perspex buttons are another standout detail, catching the light against the dark wool. Decorative buttons were an integral part of Muir’s design vocabulary, and these give the piece character without overwhelming its understated elegance.
Wear it over jeans and a simple top during the day, or layer it over evening clothes. A versatile, lightweight coat with all the thoughtful detail that makes Jean Muir so rewarding to collect and wear.
