Rare Edwardian / 1910s Navy Blue Riding Coat With Asymmetric Closure

Exceptional Edwardian Navy Wool Fitted Coat

A truly exceptional find for collectors of fine early tailoring, this Edwardian coat is cut in a beautifully fine navy wool twill with a subtle herringbone texture that catches the light. The fitted princess-seam silhouette, notched lapel collar and single-breasted button front showcase the precision dressmaking of the period, while the gently flared skirt creates a flattering line from waist to hem.

What’s remarkable is how current this still feels — the sharp shoulder, nipped waist and clean lapel could walk straight off a contemporary runway. Pair it over jeans and boots for an unexpected daytime look, or wear it as a striking topper over tailored trousers for something that feels both directional and rooted in real history.
