COAT-JACKETS

A women’s blazer coat takes the construction of a tailored jacket, with defined lapels, a clean shoulder line and visible buttons, and cuts it from coat-weight wool dense enough to replace a proper coat. It keeps the look of a jacket while keeping out the cold. At Bázhane, the range runs from short styles starting at 53 cm to oversized cuts that reach 78 cm, in 100% virgin wool or a blend with alpaca.

Cut and length: from cropped to mid-thigh

You may also see this style called a coat jacket or a tailored coat. Whatever the name, it borrows its proportions from tailoring and its fabric from outerwear. Depending on the style, the silhouette rests on wide classic lapels or a minimal stand collar, a deep double-breasted fastening or a single-breasted front. The shoulders are lightly structured, softly dropped or shaped by gathering on the sleeve, and flap or patch pockets complete the look.

Short styles measure 53–55 cm. The double-breasted Gliding blazer coat with wide lapels ends at the hip. It balances proportions with high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt and leaves you free to move on busy days in the city.

Longer styles measure 73.5 to 78 cm. Lucid has a straight cut and a high stand collar, while a 75–77 cm style pairs a dropped shoulder with gathering on the sleeve. Mid-thigh length covers longer knits or shirts and holds warmth better, which makes it the natural choice for layering.

At the office, the lapels and shoulder line let it stand in for a suit jacket on cold days. Wear it with pressed trousers, a midi skirt and simple shoes.

Virgin wool or alpaca: which fabric for European weather

Most styles are made from 100% virgin wool, meaning new wool rather than recycled, with a short, soft nap. It suits days between 0 and +5 °C with a fine sweater or shirt underneath. Lucid is cut from a heavier cloth: 60% wool, 20% mohair and 20% alpaca. Its long nap gives it a pronounced texture and keeps you comfortable down to −10 °C.

European autumns range from Atlantic drizzle to raw continental wind, and dense wool handles both. It blocks the wind and stays warm even when slightly damp, so a short shower won’t soak through straight away. Natural fibres also breathe, so you don’t overheat on the tram, in the office or in the car.

Bázhane sizing and the oversized fit

Our blazer coats come in combined sizes designed for an oversized silhouette: the finished garment measures 116 to 128 cm around the bust. That room leaves space for a chunky sweater, a shirt over a top or a blazer underneath, without restricting the armhole.

• XXS: garment bust 116–118 cm, approx. EU 34. A pronounced oversized fit on a petite frame.
• XS/S: 120–122 cm, approx. EU 36–38. The core relaxed fit, worn over knitwear.
• M/L: 124–126 cm, approx. EU 40–42. Extra volume for layering.
• L/XL: 128 cm, approx. EU 44. The roomiest fit, with the shoulder line still in place.

When choosing, rely on the measurements on the product page, as we take them from the finished garment. Bázhane began with outerwear in 2019, and every piece is still made in our own workshop in Kyiv, from cutting the wool cloth to shaping the shoulders. If you want to buy a blazer coat online without trying it on first, these measurements are all you need to find your size.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my wool blazer coat gets wet in the rain?

Dry it on a wide hanger at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters. Once dry, brush the nap in the direction of the fibres with a soft brush. Do not machine wash it, and do not steam it while it is still damp.

How do I care for the Lucid alpaca blazer coat?

Dry clean only. To restore volume to the long nap, use a brush and an alpaca care spray, then store the coat in a fabric garment bag on a sturdy hanger.

What is the difference between a blazer coat and a blazer?

A blazer is cut from suiting fabric and worn mostly indoors. A blazer coat keeps the lapels and shoulder line but is made from coat-weight wool, with enough room to wear over a sweater or even a blazer.
