The women's stand-up collar coat combines neck protection with a structured silhouette. Crafted from virgin wool or Shetland wool cloth, our models are available in short, mid-length, and long cuts, with straight, oversized, or more structured volumes.
Why does a stand-up collar protect better against the cold than a classic collar?
A stand-up collar covers more of the neck than a classic collar, limiting drafts when temperatures drop. When combined with a dense material like virgin wool or alpaca, it provides protection suited for the cold season while maintaining a clean line.
High fastening to retain warmth at the neck
A high fastening or stand-up collar naturally extends the coat's protection up to the neck. Depending on the model, it may feature a funnel neck or a mandarin collar, high buttoning, or a concealed placket. The construction can remain supple or be more structured, particularly with set-in sleeves and double-breasted designs.

FAQ - Stand-up collars
Stand-up collar, funnel neck, mandarin collar: what is the difference?
These terms refer to similar shapes, but their construction may vary. The stand-up collar covers the neck to a certain height. The funnel neck is generally taller and more enveloping, while the mandarin collar features a straighter, more structured shape, often associated with a high fastening.
Is a stand-up collar suitable for wearing with a scarf?
Yes, a thin scarf can be worn under or around the collar depending on its height and volume. With a collar that already provides coverage, choose a lightweight material to maintain comfort around the neck.
How do you care for a virgin wool stand-up collar coat?
Always follow the instructions on the model's care label. To preserve the wool, avoid repeated friction and let the coat air out after use. A gentle brushing can also help maintain the appearance of the wool cloth.
