W5471 Coat - Black Asymmetric Cloth Double-Breasted Oversized Gathered Nylon Sleeves 50g Padding Corozo Buttons Welt Pockets Women's Italian
Cloth Body. Gathered Nylon Sleeves. Corozo Buttons. The Coat Where Two Materials Meet at the Shoulder.
The W5471 is an asymmetric double-breasted coat in cloth — 87% polyester, 12% rayon, 1% elastane — fully lined in 100% polyester, with oversized gathered nylon sleeves with 50g padding, corozo buttons, and welt pockets. Four fabrics in one coat: the cloth body, the nylon sleeves, the sleeve padding, and the lining. The defining construction detail is the sleeve: the coat body is in structured cloth; the sleeves are in oversized gathered nylon with 50g padding — two completely different materials and silhouettes meeting at the shoulder seam. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.
Why This Coat Is Different
- Oversized Gathered Nylon Sleeves with 50g Padding: The sleeves of the coat are constructed from a different material than the body — oversized nylon, gathered at the sleeve head and cuff, with 50g of padding inside. The nylon sleeves are oversized: the fabric cut generously and gathered into volume at the sleeve head, creating a puffed, rounded sleeve that contrasts with the structured cloth body below. The 50g padding inside the nylon sleeve adds warmth and maintains the rounded, puffed shape of the gathered nylon. The contrast between the structured, matte cloth body and the oversized, gathered, padded nylon sleeve is maximum — two completely different materials and silhouettes meeting at the shoulder seam.
- Cloth Body: 87% polyester, 12% rayon, 1% elastane — cloth (panno) is a woven fabric with a smooth, structured surface. The rayon content (12%) adds natural drape and softness to the polyester base; the 1% elastane adds a slight stretch and recovery. The cloth body creates a structured, precise coat silhouette that contrasts with the oversized gathered nylon sleeves.
- Asymmetric Construction: The coat is cut asymmetrically — the front panels falling unevenly, the asymmetric construction creating a silhouette that reads differently from the front and the side. In cloth with oversized gathered nylon sleeves, the asymmetry adds a further layer of visual complexity to an already complex coat.
- Double-Breasted with Corozo Buttons: A double-breasted closure with corozo buttons — two rows of buttons that overlap at the front. Corozo (vegetable ivory) is carved from the seed of the tagua palm — a natural, sustainable material with a warm, organic surface. Each corozo button is unique, the natural variation in the seed visible in the surface of each button. The warm, organic corozo buttons contrast with the structured cloth body and the oversized nylon sleeves.
- Welt Pockets: Clean, precise welt pockets that maintain the coat’s unbroken cloth silhouette.
- Made in Italy: Cloth construction, gathered nylon sleeve finishing, corozo button attachment, and all construction completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US’s atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On
The cloth body is immediately structured and precise — the double-breasted front creating a wide, considered panel, the corozo buttons closing with a warm, organic click. The asymmetric construction means the front panels fall unevenly; the welt pockets sit flush with the cloth surface. Then the sleeves: oversized, gathered, padded nylon — the fabric gathered into volume at the sleeve head, the 50g padding maintaining the rounded, puffed shape. The contrast at the shoulder is the design: structured matte cloth body meeting oversized gathered padded nylon sleeve, two completely different materials and silhouettes in direct contact.
The W5471 is a coat where two materials meet at the shoulder — the cloth body and the nylon sleeve each reading as a complete, considered garment, the combination creating a coat that is more complex than either material alone.
The Art of Cloth and Gathered Nylon
Cloth (panno) and nylon are at opposite ends of the coat fabric spectrum. Cloth is a woven fabric with a smooth, structured surface — the threads interlaced in a tight, precise weave that creates a fabric with body and structure. Nylon is a synthetic fabric with a smooth, slightly reflective surface and a fluid drape — the fabric lightweight and responsive to gathering. In the W5471, the two fabrics are placed in direct contact at the shoulder seam: the structured, matte cloth body meeting the oversized, gathered, padded nylon sleeve. The gathering of the nylon at the sleeve head creates volume and texture that contrasts with the flat, structured cloth body; the 50g padding inside the nylon sleeve maintains the rounded, puffed shape of the gathered nylon. The contrast is material (cloth vs. nylon), structural (flat vs. gathered), and tactile (structured vs. padded).
The Art of Corozo
Corozo — also known as vegetable ivory — is the seed of the tagua palm, a palm tree native to South America. The seed is extremely hard and dense, with a surface that resembles ivory — smooth, warm, and slightly translucent. Corozo has been used as a button material since the 19th century as a sustainable alternative to ivory. Each corozo button is unique — the natural variation in the seed visible in the surface of each button. On the W5471, the warm, organic corozo buttons contrast with the structured cloth body and the oversized nylon sleeves — a natural hardware detail on a technical, constructed coat.
How to Wear It
- Double-Breasted, Closed: Close all corozo buttons and wear the coat as a structured, asymmetric piece — the cloth body and gathered nylon sleeves visible, the double-breasted front creating a wide, considered panel.
- Evening: Wear as an evening coat — the asymmetric construction, double-breasted corozo buttons, and oversized gathered nylon sleeves elevating the cloth coat into a considered evening piece.
- Over Knitwear: Wear over a heavy knit or turtleneck — the cloth coat as an outer layer, the 50g padded nylon sleeves adding warmth at the arm.
- All Black: Combine with other black pieces — the cloth body and nylon sleeves create natural variation within an all-black palette, the corozo buttons adding warm organic contrast.
Care Instructions
- Dry clean recommended — the cloth body, gathered nylon sleeves, and corozo buttons require professional care to preserve the structure and the gathered sleeve shape
- If spot cleaning, use a damp cloth on the cloth body; avoid saturating the gathered nylon sleeves
- Do not machine wash — the gathered nylon sleeve construction and cloth body require gentle handling
- Do not iron the gathered nylon sleeves — heat will damage the nylon and flatten the gathered shape; steam only at low temperature on the cloth body
- Store hung to preserve the asymmetric construction and gathered nylon sleeve shape
