@conceptual 4est total cost of the coat?

Looking at the preorder pages, it looks like $885 for the Loden Green ($708 with "preorder") and $925 ($740 with "preorder") for the rest.

Yup, you got it!

What was the reason for lining in cotton instead of cupro?

It's just a little nicer, and something fun to do for a special project. As far as I know the sleeves will still be cupro for comfort and ease of wear. Cotton is also warmer as far as linings go, so it sort of suits the full-length nature of the coat.

I may buy it and wear it riding my bike around town with Rothko Chapel turned all the way up on an old boom box bungeed to the front basket as part of my evolution.

Turned all the way up???

I had to take up my memory sleeves multiple inches to make that jacket work for me, and sleeve length in general is problematic for me w/r/t Schneider coats -- how difficult would the great coat be to tailor? Looks incredible otherwise, really exciting to see you guys come up with something like this!

Not presuming to speak for Greg and Kyle, but I don't think that in this particular case that it would be particularly hard. There is a gauntlet that could be taken off, the arm shortened from the wrist, and the cuff reattached. If you had to take the coat up from the shoulder, that is a difficult thing to do.

This one has been a long time coming, and both Greg and the team at Stephan Schneider have worked really hard to put this special coat together.

A little background: Stephan Schneider isn’t exactly “new” to this designing game, having his eponymous label for close to 20 years now, and as many of you know he has consistently put out beautiful outerwear. One style that we’ve been very keen on but haven’t seen in a few years is a “great coat” style, a knee-length double breasted coat. Knowing that Stephan should (and would) have a beautiful version, we dug through their archives and came up with this, Coat ARMS from Fall/Winter 06/07, “Fanatic Fanfares”.

This was close, but we knew things had to be tweaked a bit to fit in with the current Stephan Schneider aesthetic universe. What this meant was new fabrics using some of the greatest hits from recent seasons, an adjustment of the belt placement to be above the pockets and on the waist instead of the hips, and removal of the non-functional buttons on the left chest.

This creates a very modern, minimalist greatcoat with all of those special Schneider details like a covered placket and unique half-cuffs: an homage to the original design but stripped down to the essentials.

One cool thing about the belt is that it feeds through the pocket trim, which are themselves integrated into the side seams. It's a nice touch that means there are no visible belt loops should you choose to want to wear it unbelted, and fits with the more minimal aesthetic of the coat. Please note that the current photos show the belt pinned to the jacket instead of looped through the pocket trim as they will be on the production version.

Lastly, we're having the coat lined in cotton instead of the cupro that is pictured below.

We’re offering this up as pre-orders currently, although we may stock some units in the store if there is enough fabric to do so. There are four fabrics available:

View attachment 780846
100% wool in loden green: this is the one that is sampled up, and it's clear why the team chose this to represent the style: it's just a great solid color to build a solid coat.

View attachment 780857
100% wool in burgundy and charcoal: a popular fabric from FW16, this is a richly colored wool flannel that reads dark burgundy but is a mix of burgundy and charcoal yarns.

View attachment 780856
100% wool in charcoal and taupe twill flannel: a fabric from FW15, this is an awesome alternative to a more typical grey, with taupe colored yarns underneath that come through and lend it a “warmer” color than your typical grey.

View attachment 780858
100% wool in brown with grey gradient stripes: a flagship fabric from FW17, this one comes closest to capturing the effect of the original versions, by having the gradient follow the front placket.



Deadline: we want to have these ready before it gets cold this fall, and to do this we need to have all orders in sooner rather than later. Because of this, the deadline is Tuesday, May 16th.

Sizing: typical Schneider sizing. This fits me comparable to the Memory and Conservation coats we’ve done in the past, and I am wearing a size 4 in the photos. I’m a typical US36, small, 5’9” tall. I universally wear a size 4 in outerwear.

Payment: as this is a special pre-order, we ask for half now and half upon receipt of the coats in September. Be sure to use code PREORDER for 20% off.

Any chance for a navy fabric offering? Thanks!
