What Makes Classic Six Outerwear Special
We built our outerwear collection around two pieces that cover the full range of layering a capsule wardrobe needs: a full-length wool coat for the coldest months and a convertible cotton jacket that covers the rest of the year.
A classic coat for women who don't want five outerwear options and a jacket that gives you four distinct silhouettes from a single piece.
Why we think you'll keep reaching for these:
-
Natural fabrics chosen for the job. Wool for warmth and structure in the coat, cotton for lightweight coverage in the jacket. Both hold their shape over years of wear and gain character the more you put them on.
-
Tailoring that looks intentional. Defined shoulders, considered proportions, and structured cuts that give both pieces a polished line without the rigidity of formalwear. These are outerwear pieces you throw on, not ones you fuss over.
-
A palette built to pair. Deep navy and army green fold into any capsule wardrobe without clashing with what's underneath. You won't need to coordinate your outerwear to your outfit because these tones go with everything you already own.
-
Thought-through details. Custom antiqued-gold buttons, wide notched lapels, and ivory interior piping on the coat. Detachable sleeves, a removable hem, oversized patch pockets, and a concealed placket on the jacket. Every detail adds function or finishing.
-
Outerwear that outlasts trends. Classic jackets for women and coats built this way don't date. The silhouettes, the colors, and the fabrics all point toward pieces that look right this winter and five winters from now.

Ingrid Double-Breasted Coat in Deep Navy
The Ingrid is a full-length, double-breasted classic wool coat in 100% wool, with wide notched lapels, flap pockets, and custom antiqued-gold buttons.
The tailored silhouette is structured enough to create clean lines but designed with room for layering knitwear and heavier pieces underneath. Unlined through the body with lined sleeves, the construction keeps the coat lighter than most wool outerwear without losing its warmth or shape.
Contrasting ivory piping along the interior is a Classic Six signature you'll notice up close, a finishing detail that separates this coat from the mass-market options it was designed to replace.
Marlene Convertible Jacket in Army Green
The Marlene is four jackets built into one. Detachable sleeves and a removable hem let you reconfigure it into a full-length jacket, cropped jacket, long vest, or short vest depending on the day, the weather, and what you're wearing underneath.
Cut in 100% cotton with a stand collar, concealed front placket, and oversized patch pockets, the Marlene carries a military-inspired silhouette through a more polished, refined lens. The modular design means you're buying four distinct shapes from one piece of outerwear, which is the capsule wardrobe philosophy at its most practical.

Dry clean as needed. If you prefer machine washing, use cold water on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, reshape and hang to dry, and steam at a low setting. Avoid the dryer entirely.
Same care as the wool coat: cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, reshape, hang to dry, and steam. The cotton holds up well to repeated washing and softens with wear.
