Sabey Jacket, Dark Gull Gray

The Sabey Jacket from Saint Tropez is our most beautiful statement faux fur of the autumn-winter season. When Sue first saw it, she literally fell headlong into it and said "Hil, I could live in this." That's the level.

On the shade: we honestly don't know what to call it. Called Dark Gull Gray by Saint Tropez, but that doesn't quite do it justice. It's not really grey. It's not quite mushroom. It's not exactly taupe. It's somewhere considered and hard-to-name in between — the kind of nuanced neutral that plays with every colour in your wardrobe precisely BECAUSE it refuses to sit in one tonal box. Cream, chocolate, black, camel, denim, oatmeal, burgundy, olive — all lift beautifully against it.

We love a statement faux fur at Wardrobe at The Cross every autumn-winter — that considered piece of luxury outerwear that makes an outfit feel finished the moment you throw it on. This is one of the loveliest we've had.

The design is quietly considered:

• Turn-down collar — soft, elegant, not overly structured
• Zip closure — sleek, no fuss
• Statement faux fur throughout — the whole piece IS the design

A really important sizing steer: this jacket is cut to be worn over a sweater — sized as if you'd have a knit underneath, so allow that in your size choice. Sue is in the XS. Hil is in the Small. Don't size down expecting a fitted piece — the whole point is layering a proper knit or jumper underneath and staying cocooned.

Fabrication: 100% polyester faux fur shell with 100% polyester lining. Care is easy: no tumble dry, no iron, and treat the pile gently.

The killer cross-reference: because this jacket has a turn-down collar rather than a hood, our Rino & Pelle Tabita Padded Bib in Small Leopard becomes the perfect companion — a hooded padded bib worn underneath adds warmth AND gives you a hood for the days that need one. The exact use-case that bib was designed for.

The wider Saint Tropez winter capsule on site: worn back-to-back with our Samantha Jacket in Portabella (plush teddy sister), our Sabriel Puffer in Dark Oak (the serious cold-weather coat), and finished with our Alullu Scarf in Iron Melange for full considered Saint Tropez winter dressing.
