Helsa Olesa Coat
The Olesa Coat is our answer to the modern wardrobe essential — a coat that transitions seamlessly from morning commutes to evening gatherings. We designed it with a tailored silhouette that flatters without restricting movement, using a weather-resistant cotton-blend shell that keeps you dry in unexpected drizzle.
Our signature notched lapel and double-breasted front give the Olesa a refined presence, while functional details like deep side pockets and an interior chest pocket keep your essentials secure. The mid-thigh length provides coverage without overwhelming your frame, and the structured shoulders ensure the coat holds its shape season after season. We've chosen a classic palette of navy, camel, and charcoal so the Olesa pairs effortlessly with everything already in your closet.

Fabric & Weather Protection
We engineered the Olesa Coat’s shell from a cotton-blend canvas treated with a durable water-repellent finish, so light rain beads off the surface instead of soaking through. The fabric weight sits at 12 ounces per yard — substantial enough to block wind and hold structure, yet breathable enough for three-season wear.
Inside, we lined the coat with a smooth satin that lets you layer sweaters and blazers without catching or bunching. The sleeve lining extends all the way to the cuff, making it easy to slip the coat on over thicker garments. For those who appreciate the craftsmanship found in our broader outerwear collection, the Olesa represents the same attention to detail we bring to every piece we make.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Helsa Olesa Coat runs true to size with a tailored fit through the shoulders and waist. We recommend ordering your usual size if you prefer wearing it over lightweight layers like shirts and thin sweaters.
If you plan to layer heavier knits or blazers underneath, we suggest sizing up one increment. The coat’s drop-shoulder construction allows natural arm movement without pulling across the back. Hem length falls approximately 28 inches from the shoulder seam on a size Medium, hitting mid-thigh on most body types. Sleeve cuffs feature a single-button adjustment, so you can customize the wrist fit or roll the sleeves for a more relaxed look.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the water-repellent finish, we recommend spot-cleaning the Olesa Coat with a damp cloth and mild detergent for minor marks. For more thorough cleaning, dry-clean only using a specialist familiar with treated cotton-blend fabrics.
Hang the coat on a padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape, and store it in a breathable garment bag during off-season months. Avoid folding or compressing the coat for extended periods, as this can create permanent creases in the canvas. The water-repellent treatment remains effective for approximately 30 wears; professional re-treatment services can restore the finish when needed.
