MORAND x Uzès (France) 60s, Lodralen Wool, A-Line SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos ...The Lodralen-treated wool coat fuses Avignon tailoring with Parisian design logic—architectural minimalism, technical fabric, and sculptural 1960s clarity. The coat in question, a women’s single-breasted city overcoat from Morand Avignon in collaboration with Uzès-Coats Paris, stands as a paragon of mid-century French outerwear—meticulously constructed and conceptually situated at the intersection of regional tailoring expertise and metropolitan design innovation. Its provenance reveals a layered origin: Morand, a provincial outfitter rooted in Avignon, lends the garment its artisanal base, while Uzès-Coats Paris contributes the refined vocabulary of Parisian tailoring. This partnership, underscored by the use of Lodralen—a proprietary waterproof wool—embeds the coat within a post-war textile innovation wave that championed the integration of performance fabrics into structured womenswear. Lodralen’s imperméabilisée treatment, likely a resin or paraffin-based chemical finish, reflects mid-century advancements in French textile engineering, enabling wool to repel water without forfeiting breathability or softness, and positioning the garment within a legacy of elegant functionality. The coat embodies a restrained but assertive silhouette rooted in the lineage of Dior’s New Look, yet tempered by a modernist reductionism.
