A long, straight-cut coat inspired by antique workwear — utilitarian, considered, and quietly distinctive.
Crafted from a Japanese wool and linen blend, the Beige Stripe cloth dates back to the early 1990s, woven in a small, longstanding mill in Bishu, Japan. The fabric carries a subtle irregularity and depth, offering both structure and softness, designed to wear in and evolve over time.
Each garment is entirely cut, sewn, and finished by Oliver Church in Paris, reflecting a deeply hands-on approach to making. Traditional techniques are used throughout — hand-sewn buttonholes in French soie perlée, hand-shanked vintage buttons, and a collar closed by hand for a softer, more natural line at the neck. Reinforcement is achieved using handwoven cotton, with no fusing or synthetic bonding, allowing the coat to age with integrity and grace.
The silhouette is clean and elongated, with generous side entry pockets and an internal breast pocket finished with visible top-stitching — a quiet nod to classic workwear construction. Flat felled seams ensure durability, while each piece is accompanied by a fabric swatch for future repair, extending the life of the garment.
A singular piece — utilitarian in spirit, refined in execution, and made to be worn for years to come.
