Pauline Quilted Terracotta Damask Jacket

Between black, beige and navy, you feel you've seen it all!

Imagine a colour that belongs to none of the three: a rosy terracotta, softened by sage green, drawn in large damask patterns. Stop imagining: the Pauline is that colour.

• A soft terracotta
  Not brick and not rust: a rosy earth tone, slightly powdery, that flatters skin tones and blends with brown, khaki, cream and black.
• The damask pattern
  Wide floral scrolls stretch across the whole jacket, as on an old fabric. The tone-on-tone pattern adds depth without adding contrast.
• Warmth without weight
  The padding stays thin. The jacket warms the chest and arms and can easily be worn indoors, which isn't the case with a coat.
• Straight high collar
  The collar stands upright and frames the face. Open over an ecru top, it forms a very flattering V.
• Dark piping
  The dark piping follows all the edges and gives the whole structure. This detail stops an old pattern from looking dated.

You think you've seen every colour because you keep circling the same three. Adding a well-chosen fourth is enough to wake up the rest — and you'll wear it until it's threadbare.
