Sezane Mederick Coat Review

After my recent move to Seattle I’ve been excited to add some new pieces to my winter wardrobe, namely a warm wool coat. Having spent the past several winters in Southern California and the South East, a winter coat was never much of a priority. But it has been one of my long term wardrobe goals to replace my beloved Uniqlo cocoon coat for something that can hold up in a proper PNW winter - or at least the tail end of it. Luckily I’ve had the Sezane Mederick Coat on my wishlist for the past few months. While winter may be winding down for some, this coat makes a wonderful transitional piece for those in colder climates. Today I’m sharing my first impressions of this classic winter wardrobe staple, some things to keep in mind about fit and materials, as well as a few other sustainable wrap coat options.

First Impressions

The Sezane Mederick Coat has a nice weight to it that makes it feel and look luxurious. The Olive Green color is an interesting brown/green that changes in shade depending on the lighting. Personally I love this color because it works with darker shades in the winter and lighter cream and pastels in the spring. While I prefer wearing it open the coat looks polished, cinched and fitted in the right areas when tied closed too. The natural wool material is fairly warm too, making this an ideal transitional season piece.

Design Details

The large square pockets on the front are spacious if not slightly too large. This tends to be the style with many wrap coats on the market. The coat is unlined so you can see the outline of the pockets when its worn open - not ideal in my opinion. The belt feels thick and actually holds the coat closed. The tortoiseshell button belt loops on the back and the button cuffs are a lovely design detail that adds interest to an otherwise simple, streamlined look.

Fit & Sizing

With most winter coats I recommend sizing up to wear bulkier knits underneath and this piece is no exception. I tend to go up a size in Sezane and this coat is slightly oversized to begin with so I went with my usual US 6. The coat has a nice length to it on my 5’6 frame but it might be at ankle length on a more petite frame. The coat is boxy and roomy throughout and fitted in the arms and shoulders, giving it a flattering oversized fit.

Material & Care

The fact that this coat is 100% wool is a huge selling point in my opinion, and also explains the comparably higher price point for a Sezane piece. The material has a nice weight to it so the drape is flattering and the coat is sturdy enough to hold its shape. That said, the wool will hold some wrinkles, especially if worn wrapped for a long period of time. It is dry clean only, which is to be expected with this type of piece.
