Material & Craftsmanship

Composition: 100% Polyester with satin inner lining | Finish: Matte black woven fabric

This coat is engineered for durability without sacrificing aesthetic impact. The matte black woven polyester provides a sophisticated, non-reflective surface that photographs beautifully and maintains its shape through multiple wears. The interior satin lining offers comfort against the skin and facilitates easy layering—essential for the steampunk enthusiast who builds outfits around statement pieces. The weight and drape of this fabric ensure the asymmetrical design holds its intended silhouette.

Perfect for Layering & Winter Styling

Our design team recommends sizing up one size for optimal comfort, especially if you intend to layer this coat over heavier winter garments or thick corset-style pieces. The coat’s structured design makes it an ideal outer layer for complex steampunk ensembles featuring multiple dimensional pieces. Pair with Victorian-inspired vests, industrial-accented harnesses, or gothic accessories for maximum impact.

Born from science fiction literature and DIY maker culture, steampunk embraces a philosophy of craftsmanship, individuality, and creative rebellion against mass-produced conformity. This coat embodies that spirit: it’s a deliberately asymmetrical rejection of mainstream symmetry, a celebration of visible construction details (metal eyelets, layered lapels), and a nod to the golden age of Victorian fashion elevated to theatrical extremes.

Whether you’re exploring steampunk subculture, embracing gothic aesthetics, or simply refusing to dress like everyone else, this coat delivers architectural interest, functional design, and uncompromising style.
