Brown Check Wool Blend Coat - Double Breasted Long Coat for OEM

A double breasted long coat in 70% polyester and 30% wool with a 100% polyester lining, dry clean only, made in China, in a small brown check, listed at 190 GBP with three of four sizes in stock. It is sold alongside a jacket by the same maker, cut from the same cloth, in the same colourway, and this is the first chance in this project to hold two garments from one house against each other. Their measurement tables do not agree with each other, and the disagreement is more useful than either table alone. The two also differ in price by a ratio that turns out to match the difference in cloth consumed almost exactly. One field is empty on this page and filled on its companion, which settles something argued about elsewhere. The reference is the Sandra Coat in Chocolate Chip Combi. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable outerwear on OEM and ODM terms, from cloth selection and check matching to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.

Key Features

• 70% polyester and 30% wool as stated, described as a wonderfully thick wool blend. See the note below
• Lining 100% polyester as stated, so shell and lining share their dominant fibre. See the note below
• Dry clean only as stated, set by the wool rather than by the polyester majority
• Width grades three centimetres per size while sleeve and length do not grade at all. See the note below
• Sleeve 62 cm in every size and total length 120 cm in every size, both stated constant
• Double breasted front crossing the chest as stated, which fixes where the buttons must sit
• Small brown check across a cloth that has to be matched at the seams
• Three of four sizes in stock, so the smallest is sold out

Customisable Options

• Cloth: wool blend check to the reference, offered across wool proportions since that is what the number is for
• Lining: polyester to the reference, or a fibre chosen to sit closer to the shell in behaviour
• Grading: width only to the reference, or with sleeve and length graded, since those are the two the reference holds fixed
• Fit: relaxed double breasted to the reference, with overlap depth adjustable
• Length, shoulder line, check scale, pocket style, size set including a measured XL, colour development, private label and care labelling

Specifications

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

All three figures are flat, so doubling the width gives the distance around: 94, 100, 106 and 112 cm, or 37.0, 39.4, 41.7 and 44.1 in. The width grades three centimetres per size while sleeve and length stay identical across the whole range, which is a deliberate choice rather than an omission, and the companion jacket in the same cloth grades differently again.

Occasions and Styling

Suits autumn and winter, work, commuting and wearing over tailoring. The double breasted front means the buttons sit where the coat is widest, so the overlap has to clear the chest before the coat can close, and a small check is more forgiving to match at the seams than a large one.

Production and Quality Control

This garment is sold alongside a jacket by the same maker in the same cloth and the same colourway, so for the first time in this project two garments from one house can be held against each other. Their tables disagree, and the disagreement is worth more than either table. Three further things are worth working through: what the wool proportion in the sentence is doing, how the two layers are matched, and an empty field that has a companion filled in.

Two garments, one cloth, two grading rules, and that is the first thing. This coat grades three centimetres of width per size and grades sleeve and length by nothing at all: 62 cm and 120 cm in every size. The jacket beside it, cut from the same cloth by the same maker, grades two centimetres of width and grades sleeve by one centimetre, while also holding length fixed. So within one house, one season and one fabric, the grading rules differ between two garments. This series argued recently, working from structurally identical listings that shared nothing else, that house style could be inherited between makers, and set against that the observation that structure cannot be borrowed by accident. Here there is no room for that kind of explanation, because this is not two houses that might share an idiom, it is one house demonstrating that grading is chosen per garment. Two things follow. The first is that a customer cannot infer one garment from another, even inside a brand they trust, which is worth saying plainly because that is exactly what brand loyalty encourages. The second is more practically useful, and it concerns what a constant measurement means. Sleeve length held at 62 cm across four sizes means the sleeve is cut to one specification and the arm it suits does not change with the size of the body, so somebody with long arms in an XS gets a short sleeve and somebody with short arms in an L gets a long one, with nothing in the table absorbing the difference. Length held at 120 cm means the hem lands at the same point on everybody, so a taller wearer gets a shorter coat and a shorter wearer gets a longer one. Neither is wrong, and holding length constant is a common and defensible choice, since it protects the design line the coat is built around. What the table does is make the consequence visible, which is the part that usually goes unsaid. It is worth noting as well that grading width by three centimetres per size is generous, since three flat centimetres is six around, and six centimetres is close to two and a third inches per size. So the coat grows quickly through the range while staying the same length, which means a larger size is a wider coat rather than a longer one.

Thirty percent wool called a wonderfully thick wool blend, and two layers that agree, and that is the second thing. The shell is seventy percent polyester and thirty percent wool, and the lining is one hundred percent polyester. This series has spent a long time establishing that a fibre word in a description tells you what something is while the number tells you how much, and that the number is the only one of the two that changes how the garment behaves. Here the two sit in the same sentence, and they point in different directions. Described as a wonderfully thick wool blend, the construction is seventy percent polyester, so the warmth the word wool brings is a minority contribution and the cloth behaves mostly like polyester: durable, stable, and less warm per unit of thickness than the description suggest. That is not a criticism of the coat, which may be exactly what a customer wants, but it is the difference between buying a wool coat and buying a coat with wool in it, and only the number reveals which. This series has repeatedly found that the marker of a page worth trusting is that it gives both. On the layers, the arrangement is the good one, and it is the fourth arrangement this series has documented. Shell and lining share polyester as their dominant fibre, so both move, breathe and dry in broadly similar ways, which is what keeps a lining in proportion to its shell after a clean. The exact opposite was recorded recently in a coat pairing wool with a silk lining, where the two fibres shared nothing at all and each failed differently while sharing one fate. Here the minority fibre, the wool, is the one that does not behave like the rest, and because it is a minority the layers stay largely together. The instruction then follows from that minority, as this series keeps finding. Polyester would wash without difficulty. Wool will felt and permanently tighten if it meets warmth, water and agitation together, and there is no way to reverse that. So dry clean only is set by the thirty percent, not by the seventy, which is the same principle seen on several recent listings and worth repeating because it keeps getting mistaken for an inconsistency.

A field left empty, a companion that is filled, and a price ratio that matches, and that is the third thing. The block that should carry a style number is empty on this page, while the jacket carries a string that reads as a fabric reference followed by the colourway name rather than as a garment style number. This series has argued for a long while that where these fields come up empty they tend to mark something about the record rather than something about the garment, because two garments that are otherwise the same thing rarely differ in a fact about the cloth. What makes this instance better evidence than the ones before it is that the usual escape route is closed. Earlier cases involved different houses, so a shared process could always be blamed, and this series said so while holding the conclusion back. Here it is one maker, one cloth, one colourway, one season, and the field is blank on one and filled on the other. There is no reading of that which concerns the coats. The second observation is arithmetic and pleasant. The coat is 190 and the jacket is 120, a ratio of one point five eight. The coat is 120 cm long and the jacket is 73 cm, a ratio of one point six four. Those are close enough that the price difference is essentially explained by how much cloth each one uses, which means that at this maker the longer garment costs more almost exactly in proportion to the material it consumes, rather than in proportion to construction, labour or hardware. It would be a mistake to generalise from one pair, and both garments are double breasted so the complexity difference between them is small. But it is a concrete number where this series has usually had none, and it is the kind of figure worth having when a buyer asks why a coat costs what it does. One further practical point from the table, and it concerns check matching rather than fit. A small check is easier to match across a double breasted front, a centre back seam and two pocket flaps than a large one, because a small repeat hides small misalignments. Matching that is out of true shows up first at the centre front, because that is where two separately cut fronts meet and where the eye can compare them directly. Worth deciding and stating as a tolerance before cutting, since correcting it afterwards means recutting the front. Every bulk shipment gets a measurement report against your approved chart.

Optional upgrades include publishing a measured XL to match the range of sizes offered, since the four measured sizes here are complete but a fifth is not offered at all, grading sleeve and length rather than holding them constant, if the target market expects a longer sleeve to come with a larger body, offering the wool proportion as a stated figure with an alternative specification above and below it, since that single number decides warmth, price and the care instruction together, stating the cloth weight in grams rather than describing it as thick, keeping a polyester lining rather than substituting a fibre that behaves differently from the shell, since layers that move alike are what keep a lining in proportion, specifying a check matching tolerance at centre front, centre back and pocket flaps, since that is where misalignment shows first, filling the style number field so the reference can be traced, offering the coat in a length that is graded as an option, since the hem height currently does not change with size, quoting a version without pockets, size set, colour development, private label, hangtag and care labelling.
