A coat commits you to one temperature. Drift is an open layer you can put on and take off as the day changes, over whatever you already have on.

Fog Lavender is the softer of the two shades — a grayed lilac that behaves like a neutral rather than a pastel, calm next to charcoal and cream. Ash Olive is the deeper one: a gray-leaning olive that sits easily with black, tan, and denim.

Where it works

Made from 90% lambswool and 10% cashmere, the Drift Cape measures 51 × 57 in / 130 × 145 cm — one open panel, no closures, nothing to size. Lambswool gives it structure and spring, making this the one to wear daily rather than save: over a coat on a cold platform, off again in a warm car, and back on when the evening turns. Its centered opening keeps the weight balanced across the shoulders, so it sits comfortably at a desk without constant readjustment. For a lighter feel and a softer baby camel hair drape, choose the Murmur Baby Camel Hair Cape.
