Have a look at this gorgeous coat. No, seriously. Just drink it in for a moment. The Belden from Vaute Couture. Vaute Couture is a NYC vegan/eco-conscious designer who makes the loveliest winter coats. Usually the coats have a wool-like look, are very warm and very expensive…I’ve been lusting after them for the past few years. This one takes the cake, though. Running along parallel to this obsession with Vaute Couture has been an equally intensifying obsession with oiled canvas. Not only do I love the way oiled canvas looks, it is just so practical, weather resistant, waterproof, it feels good…Need I go on? Eric has been thinking about buying an oiled canvas coat from Filson for a while. Eric’s brother is a big fan of Filson and has their oiled canvas pants and a hat. I had only casually thought about an oiled canvas coat for myself…That is, until this Vaute Couture coat. Unfortunately, they’re doing a super limited run and the brown color is already out of stock. They do have navy, if you’re a navy kind of person. I’ve been wearing a dark green, lightweight wool coat as my winter coat for maybe the last 8-10 years. It’s a very similar style to this one, but it’s getting pretty well-worn and it is definitely not waterproof. I’ve been scouting casually for a vegan replacement and this one might just be perfect for Seattle winter weather since it usually does not get super cold here. Anyway, I’ll stop going on and on about it…but just in case you were wondering–yes, it does button up into a tall collar:
