    DESIGNED TO keep away the winter chills, this cosy coat by Chloé Elizabeth Birch is knitted in Re:Treat, a chunky wool from West Yorkshire Spinners. The garment uses a stripe pattern, which is then embroidered with vertical lines to mimic tartan. The coat has pockets and a collar, and can be lined with fabric for a tailored finish.
