At Last & Co. Lot 802 Car Coat
The car coat was made for getting in and out of cars — hip-length, so it never bunches when you sit, with a button front you can close with one hand and a collar that turns up against the wind. At Last & Co.'s Lot 802 keeps that shape and cuts it in black horsehide leather.
The front of the coat is the story here. It is cut from a single, whole piece of horsehide — one unbroken panel across the chest, with no seams and no piecing. That is the coat's defining feature, and what sets it apart from the car coats that came before it. Horsehide in a piece this large is very rarely available, and a full front cut from one hide is not something that can be done often.
The leather has a quiet sheen rather than a high gloss, and the surface shows the natural variation of the hide. The front closes with five buttons, the collar is a clean point collar, and the pockets are kept minimal: a welt pocket at the chest and flap pockets low on the body.
It is the most substantial piece of this winter. A leather car coat is not a seasonal purchase; it is the kind of coat that is bought once and worn for more than a decade, softening and darkening with wear until it looks like it has always been yours.
Worn over knitwear or a flannel shirt, it is the outer layer for cold days when a wool coat would be too much and a short jacket would not be enough.
Made in Japan.
