Styling a tweed fieldcoat

7 replies

I have just bought my wife a Joules Fieldcoat Luxe, she already had a Joules tweed blazer, which she loves to bits.
The fieldcoat echoes the same style, so many of the items she wears with the blazer will look great with the new coat, but looking for other items.
She said that she saw a woman at a country show wearing a similar coat with a pink lining and that it looked a million dollars, so I am thinking of getting a pink cashmere scarf as an Xmas stocking filler (she has a few M&S cashmere jumpers and wears them all th time)
I was thinking plain pink but the Burberry check in pale pink looks interesting, not sure about 2 different patterns though. 🤔
all input welcome.

I style mine with a beat-up, muddy old pair of Dubarries, a game bag and a Labrador.

Yes, wife has muddy mukkers and tatty Ariat jackets, but we get away from the stables occasionally.

I have one and I never go near the countryside if I can help it. I like it for how it looks and because it's toasty warm and all the pockets are fabulous.

The only thing I really do in the way of styling is I often wear it with a men's silk / rayon paisley scarf in a contrasty colour. I have several and buy them in vintage or charity shops but Tootal still do them if you want a new one.

Disclaimer, I've never bought from this site, it's just to show what they look like and the range of colours.

Editing to add that my coat isn't Joules, it's a country clothing label and I can't remember the name but it's that style.

Clare Haggas scarves are very popular for country styles.

I live in the wet southwest and walk every day with DDog, so I have opinions on waterproof gear. I have Didrikson coats, knee length, never longer, for summer and winter downpours. Last year I bought a serious raincoat that is also an overcoat from Pret Pour Partir. It was very expensive, but it is my most worn coat and likely to stay that way for the next five or seven years because it has pockets in all the right places and is comfortable and warm without being hot and sweaty. In which case the cost per wear inside 10 months is falling very fast. The economic theory of Sam Vimes Boots: if you have the money, buy quality, once. In ten years, you'll still be using whatever it was regularly.

It shouldn't require repair or replacement. You might get bored with it though.

Thanks for the input, I eventually decided on cashmere scarves from Doux Cachemere, a French/German supplier, they get excellent reviews for quality and customer service and have 30 colours. The final decider was their “3 for 2” offer, which works out at £40 each for 3, £10 less than the “very good” Uniqlo offering, but with more varied colours.
