Jules Dreyfous (France) 70s, Marling Cloth, Brushed Wool, Anatomical SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos Crafted in Clermont-Ferrand with English worsted wool, the coat unites postwar European restraint with Savile Row fabric discipline. Bridging Anglo-French tailoring heritage with pragmatic mid-century refinement, this Jules Dreyfous overcoat exemplifies regional European craftsmanship elevated through British textile excellence. Crafted in Clermont-Ferrand by the lesser-known yet technically fluent tailor Jules Dreyfous, the garment reflects a French response to British stoicism—fusing elegant minimalism with sartorial subtlety. The use of Marling cloth, a product of one of England’s storied West Yorkshire mills, positions the coat within a lineage of high-end worsted wool tailoring, historically favored by Savile Row and European ateliers alike. This material choice underscores a quiet hybridity: French precision meets English cloth integrity, each informing the coat’s character and construction. The coat is built on a single-breasted raglan-sleeve block, engineered for cold-weather citywear and designed with understated durability in mind. The raglan construction—void of shoulder seams—facilitates ease of movement and clean shoulder drape, requiring advanced sleeve-head shaping and block balancing. The coat’s length, falling just above the knee, offers optimal thermal coverage without impeding mobility.
