Collection
The layering edit, kept timeless.
About the edit
A small, considered edit of trench coats, denim jackets, and blazers cut to live across seasons. Worn over dresses through the cooler months, layered over slip sets on a transitional evening, kept folded in the cupboard for the years they are needed. Made in India, finished with the same restraint as the rest of the maison.
8 pieces in this edit
The Edit
The most considered pieces in a wardrobe are usually the ones that stay quietly useful year after year. The Antimony outerwear edit is shaped from that conviction. A trench coat in cotton twill that belongs at an airport in March and a hotel in November. A denim jacket cut a touch longer than the rest. A blazer that finishes a slip dress without competing with it. None of these pieces are seasonal, all of them are kept.
The Trench
The trench coat began as a piece of British military uniform and was inherited by the cinema of the 1950s, by Bogart and Bacall, by Audrey Hepburn at the rain-soaked end of Breakfast at Tiffany's. We drew our trench coat from that quiet lineage. A premium cotton twill in a clean silhouette, a self-tie belt, a button-through front, a length that sits comfortably below the knee. Made in India, finished to the same standard as the trenches we admire abroad.
The Denim
Most denim jackets in India are cut from a template that has not changed in twenty years, short, boxy, masculine in the shoulder. Ours are not. We cut our denim jackets a touch longer through the body, slightly softer in the shoulder, with pockets placed where they actually reach. Wear them over slip dresses, over cotton kurtas, over the night suits in the maison's main edit. Premium Indian denim, washed to a quiet indigo.
Layering
Outerwear is the language of how a wardrobe handles the transitional days, the early evenings, the airport mornings, the indoor-outdoor weddings. A blazer over a slip dress for a quiet dinner. A trench coat over a co-ord set on the way to work. A denim jacket over a maxi dress for a beach evening that turns cool. The edit was designed to layer easily over every other category in the maison.
The Cloth
The trench coats are cut from a heavyweight cotton twill woven in India, the same family of cloth used by traditional British raincoat makers. The denim jackets are cut from a premium Indian denim with a stone-washed finish and a quiet indigo tone. The blazers are tailored in a mid-weight cotton with a subtle hand. Every piece is finished with care for the seams that are visible, the hems that catch the light, the pockets that need to hold a phone and a key.
Across Seasons
October to February is when these pieces work hardest, layered over the rest of the maison through the cooler months. March to May they retreat to the cupboard, ready for the cold evenings in hill stations and the airport mornings in winter cities. The cotton twill breathes through transitional Delhi evenings, the denim is light enough for Bombay autumns, the blazers sit easily through any office. The edit is built to be reached for, not stored away.
Care Guide
The cotton twill trench coats prefer a dry clean to retain their structure, though a careful cold wash works for the unlined silhouettes. The denim jackets can be cold washed at home, inside out, with like colours. The blazers are best dry cleaned once a season. Stored on broad shoulders, never thin hangers, to keep the silhouette honest year after year.
FAQ
A small, considered edit of trench coats, denim jackets, and layering pieces. Currently includes cotton twill trenches, denim trench coats, denim blazers, and sleeveless denim layering jackets. Each piece is cut to live across multiple seasons rather than as a one-off seasonal buy.
October through February is when the edit works hardest in most Indian cities, layered over the rest of the maison through the cooler months. The lighter denim layering pieces also work well for transitional March and September evenings, and for hill-station travel through the year.
Yes. The Antimony trench coats are cut from a premium cotton twill woven in India, in the same family of cloth used by traditional British raincoat makers. No polyester blend, no synthetic shell. The twill softens beautifully with wear and holds a clean silhouette through years of use.
Always on broad-shouldered hangers, not thin wire ones, to preserve the line of the shoulder. Keep them in a breathable cotton garment bag if they will be stored for several months, with a small sachet of cedar to keep moths away. Avoid plastic covers, which trap moisture.
Yes, this is one of our favourite ways to wear them. Belt the trench loosely, leave the collar up, and let the slip hem show a couple of inches below. The cotton twill drapes cleanly over slip silhouettes and the silhouette reads beautifully on an evening street.
Our denim jackets are cut to a relaxed, slightly elongated silhouette, longer through the body than a standard short denim jacket, with a softer shoulder. If you are between sizes, size down for a fitted layer or size up for a generous over-layer.
