FAQs
Is this coat suitable for deep winter?
The Lydia Coat offers moderate warmth suitable for autumn and mild winter weather. In extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is best paired with additional thermal layers.
Can I iron this coat?
Direct ironing is not recommended as it can flatten the structure and damage the fabric. If pressing is necessary, use a professional garment steamer from a distance.
What is the best way to store this coat during summer?
Store in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is cleaned before long-term storage to prevent odors or moth attraction.
Does the coat run true to size?
Phase Eight generally follows standard sizing, but because of the structured fit, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure there is enough room for layering.
Is the fabric prone to pilling?
Like all fine fabrics, friction can cause minor pilling over long periods. Proper brushing and avoiding abrasive bags or surfaces will minimize this.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have lint or surface dust.
Use a soft-bristled garment brush specifically designed for wool or wool-blend fabrics to gently lift debris without damaging the fibers.
The coat develops minor wrinkles from storage or transit.
Hang the coat in a bathroom while running a hot shower for a few minutes; the steam will help the fabric relax without the direct heat of an iron.
Loose threads or minor snags appearing.
Do not pull on threads. Use a pair of small embroidery scissors to carefully trim the snag flush with the fabric surface.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lydia Coat remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Because of the structured nature of the garment, machine washing is not recommended as it may distort the shape of the internal padding and fabric drape.
- Storage: Always use a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the fabric from stretching or losing its shape at the shoulder seams.
- Cleaning: This coat is strictly dry clean only. Locate a professional cleaner who specializes in structured outerwear to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
- Maintenance: Use a high-quality garment brush between wears to remove lint and dust, particularly important given the deep black color which can highlight debris.
- Compatibility: The coat is designed to be worn over standard business attire or sweaters; however, avoid wearing extremely bulky layers underneath to prevent stressing the seams.
