Black Texture. A Quieter Reverse.
The M1298 coat by LA HAINE INSIDE US gives black an uneven, light-catching surface through bouclé and a listed handcrafted laminated treatment. A soft shawl collar, relaxed shoulders and patch pockets keep the silhouette easy rather than rigid. Listed as doubleface and reversible, it offers a more textured expression and a quieter black reverse within the same comfort-fit layer.
Why This Coat Is Different
- Raised bouclé surface: Looped texture gives the black fabric depth beyond a flat coat.
- Laminated highlights: An irregular sheen is visible across the front and sleeves, contrasting with quieter matte areas.
- Doubleface versatility: The existing product information describes the garment as reversible; the supplier photographs also show its matte inner surface.
- Soft shawl collar: A broad folded neckline frames the chest without a rigid notched lapel.
- Comfort fit: Relaxed proportions and dropped shoulders create room for considered layering.
- Single-button front: A dark round fastening keeps the front visually restrained.
- Patch pockets: Low front pockets continue the coat’s relaxed construction.
- Long sleeves: Textured sleeves extend the laminated surface beyond the body.
- Listed finezza 3: The existing gauge designation is retained without a tested warmth or weight guarantee.
- Italian origin: Made in Italy is stated in the listing and matches the existing country-of-origin records.

Unisex Size Chart
The previous guide is retained only for offered S–XXL sizes. Chest, shoulder and length values have not been verified as M1298 garment measurements. In particular, confirm the listed lengths against the photographed silhouette before ordering; sleeve measurements are not supplied. Contact TEPHRA for style-specific measurements and layering allowance.
| Size | Chest (cm) | Shoulder (cm) | Length (cm) |

Original supplier reference states size M on the model. This does not establish the size or measurements of the generated editorial model.
The Moment You Put It On
The collar settles softly rather than standing to attention. Against dark trousers, the front reveals small changes in light across the raised yarn, giving an all-black outfit a second dimension without another colour.
Leave it open to reveal a textured base, or close the single button for a simpler line. Unlike a conventional smooth overcoat, its presence comes from the relationship between matte bouclé and laminated highlights.
The Art of Bouclé
Bouclé describes the looped character of the yarn and the resulting uneven surface, not a single fibre composition. Here the listed mixed-fibre recipe includes both named fibres and blend terms. The visible texture is clear; the precise fibre breakdown should come from the sewn-in label rather than assumptions about softness, insulation or durability.
The Art of Laminated Doubleface
The existing information describes a handcrafted laminated treatment on a reversible doubleface garment. Supplier close-ups show a light-catching outer surface and a quieter textured inside. The exact lamination process and performance have not been independently verified, so no claim of industrial impossibility, permanent sheen or unique one-off results is made.
How to Wear It
- Daily black: Wear the textured face over black separates and boots, leaving the collar relaxed.
- Evening contrast: Close the single button over a fine dark knit and straight trousers.
- Quieter reverse: Explore the listed reversible styling with a simple base; confirm the reverse-side fastening and pocket arrangement in person.
- Editorial volume: Pair with loose charcoal cargo trousers, or contrast the black bouclé with a cream base. Check actual measurements before adding a chunky knit.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in label for the mixed-fibre knit and laminated finish. Earlier information recommends hand washing or a delicate machine cycle at 30°C, no tumble drying or bleach, flat drying, no direct ironing on bouclé, reverse-side steaming if needed, and permits dry cleaning. These instructions have not been manufacturer-verified; confirm approved cleaning and heat before use. Avoid rubbing or pressing the laminated surface and snagging the loops on fastenings or jewelry.
