………………………..GOOD NEWS!!!!………….The REVERSIBLE FAUX FUR COAT, A259614………..which was supposed to be avail in November has been MOVED UP, and it will be presented on my October 27th 1:00PM show!!!!!!! I couldn’t be more happy about this decision, because the weather here in New England has definitely turned into FALL!…QVC is calling this coat a “Walking Coat”…..I guess if you have to call it something more than a COAT….a “walking coat” is just as good as anything……The color in the photos above is ………….STONE with BLACK FUR……This color combination is a CLASSIC…..Chic as all get out….and when you reverse it….you still have a black coat!…The Walking Coat….in the old days we called them “strollers”….I’m dating myself…LOL…..is approx. 35 inches long for the XS. The coat has PRINCESS SEAMS with INSEAM POCKETS on both sides. The front of the coat is double breasted and has LOOPS & BUTTONS to close it. The tie belt, in self fabric, is OPTIONAL. The belt in the STONE/BLACK coat combination is reversible too. Both sides of the coat are made in 100% Polyester. The fabric is a beautiful quality, and looks very expensive. It has the look and feel of an expensive SILK rain coatings that are used for real Fur reversible coats. I’ve used them many times myself. This is not a rainproof fabric, but if you are caught in a drizzle the water will run off. I have tested my sample coats with a glass of water poured onto the sleeve and the water BEADS and runs off….no absorption at all. Since the fabric has not been given any special treatments [sometimes it makes the fabric stiff], and has not been tested as a “rainproof” fabric I can not make such claims….Do the test yourself and I assure you your result will be the same as mine……..The FAUX FUR has the look and feel of MOUTON or SHEARED BEAVER……..It is super SOFT and not extremely bulky, but lets face it a fur lined cat is not a skinny coat…..it’s just a LUXURIOUS COAT! AND FEELS wonderful ON!…….You can wear the collar three ways……COMPLETELY unbuttoned to the belt which creates a beautiful SHAWL COLLAR……..buttoned all the way up which creates a higher shawl for more protection………or wear the shawl HIGHER still….right under the chin for maximum coverage and protection…………….it also looks very dramatic and Doctor Zhavigo worn this way!……I don’t know if this is a must have for some of you……but it is definitely a WANT. I do very few outerwear pieces, but this season was an exception. I believe I have brought you something very special in this coat with all the quality you have come to expect with Linea. This coat is the FINALE to the Fall 2014 season……This is the last apparel sneak peek. You have now seen the entire Fall 2014 collection and I hope you have found some things that appeal to you……………For the rest of 2014 I will be bringing you new Holiday JEWELRY items to gift and to gift YOURSELF!……….Then we start again on Jan. 30th with some addition Fall transition piece…..just to freshen things up and fill in some gaps…..LOL……………………………………………………………………………………enjoy………………………………..much Love…………………………Louis
Hi Louis,
This coat looks fabulous!!!! Does it button or do you have to tie it closed?
Thanks! Looking forward to the show!

It has looks and buttons and doesn’t have to be belted…The black coat sneak peek shows it that way.
Woohoo!!!…Stone coming my way! Love it!

Years ago I had a similar coat in stone and black. I took it to the dry cleaners and it had it cleaned. The dry cleaner destroyed it because he did not “fur clean” it even though it was fake fur. I never forgot that coat. How should this be cleaned. I love the contrast of the stone and black but if there’s a question I’ll go for the black/black.
I’ve been waiting for a reappearance of this type coat for thirty years!
Well, Louis, that little number can walk or stroll it’s way right into my closet! I don’t care how it gets there, it just needs to get going! Can’t wait for Monday, October 27th…
Mystery, glamour, beauty, money, breeding, pedigree is what this coat says to me. LOVE IT !!!!!!
Don’t see how you could have delivered any more, cardigans, knit dresses, knit skirts, scarfs and shawls to match EVERYTHING. SUEDE !!!
Now let’s have a show and ROCK IT !
Louis, is this coming in another colorway, too?
Wonderful words….wish I had said them…..love pedigree…….the coat only comes in the two colors.
Oh Louis, we are so grateful to have your thoroughbred line of clothing. Makes us feel we can run a Kentucky derby. Those words def. describe the Linea line, they’re yours for the taking. 🙂
LOVE the different ways the collar can be worn! Fabulous!
Oh my, another thing to add to my “must have” list. This is the perfect coat for the current Midwest weather. The stone/black one is calling my name. You have outdone yourself with this fall collection Louis. I’m enjoying the blouses & sweaters I have already received. I have the new necklaces (3 colors) & the clay kate shirt on their way to my home. I’m sure to add at least 4-6 additional pieces by the end of the day on the 27th! You are a true treasure…..
Amazing! Your fall collection has been a true delight. Thank you so much for all your wonderful designs. I look forward to many happy years of wear!
