A proper coat feels like far too much for the school run and the supermarket!

Just imagine something with the length and the warmth of a coat that you can pull on over a tee without a second thought — and that does not need anything underneath it to look right. Now stop imagining, because the Sharon is a coat-length knit with a soft shawl collar.

• Coat Length, Knit Ease
  It falls to mid-thigh with the weight of proper knitwear and none of the structure of outerwear. You get the coverage without the formality. It is warm enough for most of the season.
• Soft Shawl Collar
  A wide collar rolls softly around the neck and down both front edges. It keeps the draught off without a scarf. It also gives the open front a finished shape.
• Deep Front Pockets
  Two large pockets sit at hip height, deep enough for gloves and a phone. They are the detail that makes it a real everyday piece. They keep your hands out of the cold.
• Chunky Buttons
  A few oversized buttons let you close it across the front when the wind turns. Fastened it reads as a coat; open it reads as a cardigan. Both are useful.
• Four Practical Shades
  Oatmeal, slate blue, black and mustard — three quiet and one warm. Slate blue is the most unexpected of the four. Oatmeal is the one that goes over everything.

Most days do not call for a coat, but they do call for something. The Sharon gives you the length, the collar and the pockets without any of the formality — which is why it ends up doing the morning run every single day.
