Choosing a women's wool jacket
A women's wool jacket is warm, breathes well and copes with light drizzle. Komodo makes most of the outerwear here, including a wool jacket in sand, a recycled wool blend jacket and hand-knitted wool jackets lined with fleece, such as the Twist Knot and Pooja. Hand-knitted styles are chunky and cosy, while a woven wool jacket looks smarter for work. Look for a lining if you feel the cold, and check the length, since a hip-length jacket suits cycling and a longer coat keeps more of you warm. Before a brand joins Ziracle, we check its fabrics and how its clothes are made.
Recycled wool and cord coats
Komodo makes the Olivia and Wicker coats in recycled wool and polyester, and the Kaia wool blend twill coat. For something lighter, Komodo makes the Georgia and Keneila coats in organic cotton corduroy, and an organic cotton parka in black. The River coat is water resistant and made from recycled PET. Deidei makes an ivory jacquard double-breasted jacket for smarter days.
Women's gilet styles
A women's gilet keeps your core warm while your arms stay free, which suits walking, cycling and layering over knitwear. Komodo makes the reversible Georgie in recycled fleece in three colours, and a Georgie gilet in organic linen cotton for spring. Wear a fleece style over a jumper in winter, and a cotton style over a shirt when the weather turns. Look for zipped pockets if you carry keys and a phone.
Jackets, overshirts and care
Komodo makes organic cotton chore jackets, a bomber jacket, a patchwork jacket, Koko jackets in Tencel linen and denim and velvet overshirts. Brush wool coats after wearing and air them rather than washing often, which keeps the fibres in good condition. Check the care label before washing recycled blends, and hang coats on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. A cosy coat also makes a generous Christmas present. Women's Knitwear has knits in wool, Women's Hats has beanies, Outerwear has more coats, and Is wool sustainable? The honest answer looks at wool and recycled wool.
Common questions
Is a wool jacket waterproof?
Wool copes with light drizzle but is not waterproof. For heavy rain, the River coat is water resistant and made from recycled PET.
What is a reversible gilet?
It can be worn either way out, giving you two colours in one piece. The Georgie gilet is reversible recycled fleece.
How do I care for a wool coat?
Brush it after wearing and air it between wears. Dry clean or hand wash only if the care label says you can.
Are the coats made from recycled materials?
Some are, such as the recycled wool coats and the River rain coat. Others use organic cotton or wool, so check each listing.
