The Storybook Swing Coat is full of charm and a hint of nostalgia. Designed with a modern oversized Peter Pan-style collar and gently shaped inset sleeves, this coat offers a closer fit through the shoulders while leaving enough room for layering. The sleeves are intentionally a bit longer, designed to cover part of the hand for a cozy feel. A back yoke and single deep pleat create that signature swing shape — easy, graceful, and just the right amount of playful.
The coat closes with three buttons at the top, has extra large rounded patch pockets, and features softly curved corners along the front opening — all the little details that make it feel extra special.

Fabric Recommendations:
The Storybook Swing Coat works best with medium-weight woven fabrics that hold their shape while offering softness and ease. We recommend Matchy’s Custom Printed Twill for playful prints and just-right structure, Bull Denim for a sturdier, more utilitarian feel, or Workwear Twill for a classic, hardwearing outer layer. Avoid overly lightweight or drapey fabrics, as they may not support the coat’s silhouette.
Fabric Requirements:
54″ / 137 cm wide fabric: 3 – 4.5 yd / 275 – 390 cm
Note: Extra fabric may be needed to match stripes, plaids, or directional prints.
