Paris-based Vanessa Seward has quickly established her label as a source of style necessities made urbane. With this double-breasted topper, she refines the centuries-old wool coat worn by sailors (and originally tailored from course blue pilot cloth or “p-cloth,” the origin of its name) in premium Italian wool with a water-repellent composition that resists pilling. At once nautical and feminine, the notched-collar silhouette is finished with metal-trimmed buttons, patch pockets, and a jacquard lining.
