The Morgan Funnel Neck Coat

You know the trip. The anniversary you planned for months, the old town, the dinner on the last night. And if you're the one who is always cold, you know the choice: the pretty coat and shiver, or the warm one and the same puffer in every photo.

The Morgan Funnel Neck Coat from Avielora is the coat in the middle, and the one women who are always cold now pack on its own:

Here are 7 reasons it's the only coat in the suitcase…

Reason #1

The Collar Does The Scarf's Job

The old town means cobblestones, open squares and wind off the water. This is the part you'll feel first.

You know the moment: the wind finds the gap at your collar, and you spend the whole walk holding your coat shut.

Morgan's funnel neck fastens right up to the chin. Closed, it blocks the wind on its own. Open, it lies flat and frames the face. Either way, the scarf can stay at home.

"I love the collar as a way to keep your neck warm without a scarf, or you can lay it flat."Verified review
Reason #2

Long Enough To Cover Your Legs

The walk back from dinner is always the coldest part of the trip.

A pretty coat that stops at the hip leaves the rest of you to the weather. Morgan runs long: it falls to mid-calf, so the wind stays off your legs.

It goes over trousers on a Tuesday and over a dress at a wedding or the symphony, without the hem showing underneath.

Reason #3

One Coat From Morning To Dinner

On a trip you live in one coat, from breakfast to the last glass of wine.

Closed to the chin for the walk from the car. Open at the collar in the museum. Belted over a dress at dinner. Same coat, three looks, and nothing extra to carry.

Office, dinner, weekend market: the same coat.

A morning in the old town, an afternoon in the museums, dinner on the last night: the clothes underneath change, the coat doesn't, and it never makes the outfit worse.

That means you never have to "save it for occasions." It's your everyday coat.

"It dresses up and down effortlessly, and I have gotten so many compliments on it."Verified review
Reason #4

Your Usual Size, With A Sweater Underneath

And it still closes over the sweater you packed.

Order the size you always wear. Morgan is cut straight with room for a real winter sweater, not the thin one you'd put on just to make the coat close.

On the product page, Avielora's model is 5'9.5" and wears a size S.

The full size chart is measured on the coat itself, not on a body, and it's on the product page. Still unsure? Email Avielora your bust measurement at support@avielora.com and they'll confirm your size before you order.

"It's big enough to wear a thick sweater underneath, and the cut, fabric and construction are so, so good."Verified review
Reason #5

You Look Dressed, Not Bundled

And in the photos you still look like you, not like a puffer.

Put it on, and the outfit you chose is still the outfit people see.

Morgan is cut to quietly handle the things every woman deals with at the front door in January:

The front closes with hidden buttons, so there's nothing advertising for anyone. The tie belt is there for the days you want a waist, and stays in the pocket for the days you don't. The heavy wool coats many of us wore twenty years ago weighed close to twice as much, which is half the reason so many of us gave up and bought the puffer.

Why A Cheap Wool Coat Leaves You Cold And Frumpy

Sadly, not every wool coat is this coat.

Most coats at this price are made months ahead, by the thousand, to a generic pattern, and the price has to cover the warehouse that holds them. So the puffer goes back on over the thin coat, or the coat goes straight back in the mail.

That's why Morgan is made the other way round: cut and sewn after you order, checked before it ships, and sold directly, so the money goes into the wool and the making.

It's the difference between a coat you send back… and a coat you wear for ten winters.

Reason #6

Made Properly, Sold Honestly

Readers tell me they have two big concerns about ordering a wool coat online…

Concern #1"Is it really wool, or a polyester blend with a wool name?"
Concern #2"Can I trust a coat I've never touched?"

The label says 100% wool because it is. No polyester "blend" doing most of the work.

Each Morgan is cut and sewn after you order it, then checked before it ships. Because nothing is mass-produced ahead of time, there's no warehouse of thousands to pay for, no department-store rent, no celebrity campaign. Avielora sells online only and puts the money into the fabric and the making.

That's how a 100% wool coat with this cut comes to $149, shipping included, instead of the $664 a comparable designer coat costs by the time it reaches your door.

"The wool is soft and it is well-stitched. Excellent value."Verified review
Reason #7

Try It Without The Risk

The biggest reason women hesitate isn't this coat. It's the memory of coats that arrived and went straight back.

So every Morgan comes with 30-day returns from the day it's delivered, and a 100-Day Quality Guarantee on the wool and the stitching.

Order your usual size, wear it for a week, judge it in your own mirror.

One honest note: because Morgan is made for your order, it takes a few extra days to reach you. In my view, it's worth the wait.

IMPORTANT: Every Morgan Is Made For Your Order… Don't Wait For The First Snow!

We promised to make our coats properly, not quickly. That's why each Morgan is cut and sewn after it's ordered: it's the only way to get the wool, the collar and the fit right, and keep the price where it is.

That also means it takes a few extra days to reach you. In Minneapolis the first snow usually comes in November; Chicago isn't far behind.

So if you want to feel what a wool coat that keeps you warm and still looks like you is like, order it while it's still a plan, not an emergency.

Avielora ✓Hi Theresa, it's 100% wool, it closes right up to the chin and it covers your legs, which is where the cold gets in on a long walk. On the coldest days, wear it over a real sweater; the cut has room for one.

Beverly J.Can I wear it over a dress to a nice dinner, or is it too casual?

Avielora ✓Hi Beverly, it's long enough to cover a midi dress, so only your tights and shoes show below it. Belted, it looks dressed for dinner; open, it works over jeans the next morning.

Avielora ✓Hi Donna, most women wear it on the plane rather than fold it into a bag, since it's a long wool coat. If it creases, hang it in the bathroom while you shower and the wool relaxes.

Avielora ✓Hi Marcia, it fastens right up to the chin and stays there, so the wind can't get in at the neck. Most women leave the scarf at home.
