The factory building still stands in Newton Abbot today, and the company's history of holding patents on reversible manufacturing methods is formally documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1948, the enterprise was sold to Walter Sawtell, a native of Yorkshire.\u003cbr\u003eSubsequently, in 1966, operations were transferred to Simpson of Piccadilly Ltd., and in 1968 the company received the Queen's Award to Industry for Export Achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish craftsmanship and export infrastructure were unified, establishing the brand's position in the international market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the company's own factory closed in 1986, Harold Shaw, who had been technical director at the time, established Westcountry Clothing Ltd. and continued manufacturing INVERTERE coats under contract with DAKS–Simpson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1995, Westcountry Clothing was sold to Moorbrook Textiles, after which Moorbrook acquired the INVERTERE trademark from DAKS–Simpson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen in 2001, Graham and Peter Shaw undertook a management buyout of Westcountry Clothing, and in 2003 reacquired Invertère Coat Company Ltd. itself from Moorbrook, reunifying the brand under the Shaw family's stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company maintains its base in Newton Abbot to this day, with the Shaw family as owners, continuing to uphold tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essence of this brand lies in its design philosophy—the marriage of tailoring precision (pattern-making, stitching, finishing) with industrial scale.\u003cbr\u003eIn other words, 'an industrial product imbued with the philosophy of tailoring.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom classic Chesterfields and Stetson collars to duffel and country coats, the brand embodies the true lineage of British coat-making: uncompromising construction rooted in traditional cutting and handwork, yet refined for everyday practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINVERTERE is a 'coat for those who understand coats'—nurtured in the breath of British air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reversible concept born in Newton Abbot, the export credentials symbolised by the Queen's Award, and the contemporary craftsmanship carried forward by the Shaw family.\u003cbr\u003eA coat that is classical yet timeless—one that 'orders the wearer's life.'\u003cbr\u003eThis is what INVERTERE represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShould you possess an original old INVERTERE, the archival value—the opportunity to experience the fabric character and tailoring refinement of its era—merits particular mention.\u003cbr\u003eThe current production, meanwhile, preserves the traditional design whilst refining material selection and finishing to an even higher standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true coat for the discerning, embodying the 'orthodoxy' of British coat-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe present a hunting coat from INVERTERE, crafted in superior wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single garment that distils the virtues of English country style—function and grace in harmonious coexistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat immediately captures the eye is the moleskin cut at the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlightly generous, curved points soften the face while the brushed surface gently envelops the neck with practical comfort.\u003cbr\u003eInside, a robust chain-style hanger loop ensures the ease of suspending a heavyweight coat. (On this example, one hanger loop has come loose.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-warmer pockets positioned at both sides feature a pronounced slant that receives the hand at a natural angle.\u003cbr\u003eThey preserve the integrity of the silhouette whilst providing assured insulation on cold days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flap pockets at both hem employ a 'box pleat × gusset' construction—flat without, three-dimensional within.\u003cbr\u003eBox pleats secure capacity while fine-width topstitching along the flap edge defines the outline. A rational design descended from hunting tradition: items like gloves and tools sit without creating bulk.\u003cbr\u003eThe pattern-matching between flap and body is equally noteworthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior features a large pocket particular to hunting coats, accented with a golden animal-motif button and loop closure in classic style.\u003cbr\u003eThe generous depth—ready to receive maps and gloves without fuss—becomes indispensable once experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA centre vent runs the length of the back, adjusted to allow free stride without hem drag, reinforced with stitching at the vent edges to prevent tearing.\u003cbr\u003eA 'working vent' that lends refinement even to one's gait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoulders employ a raglan sleeve construction, a single continuous line flowing from neckline to cuff that accommodates layering whilst maintaining graceful drape.\u003cbr\u003eEven when worn over a jacket, the shoulder line remains unassertive, the back rendering elegant folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front closure employs minimal fly construction.\u003cbr\u003eOnly the throat button appears externally; the orderly row of buttons within blocks wind penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining is divided between upper and lower sections: from shoulders through upper back runs a lustrous, slippery fabric (likely rayon) for ease of dressing; the lower torso features brushed wool for warmth—a functional division between ease of wear and thermal comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior collar bears a 1960s-era label reading \"MADE IN ENGLAND,\" testimony to the pride of British manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, this example represents a special commission for J.C. CORDINGS \u0026 CO.LTD—a remarkably luxurious garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJ.C. CORDING \u0026 CO. LTD is a venerable British country and outdoor wear house, founded in 1839 when John Charles Cording opened a waterproof clothing shop at 231 Strand, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example employs a wool tweed rooted in English country tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fine herringbone weave, densely woven, communicates a touch both full-bodied and resolute upon handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-loft weave traps air for excellent insulation whilst wool's natural moisture-regulating properties prevent cling—a comfort-conscious design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is lightly brushed; running fingers across reveals subtle texture in the classical manner.\u003cbr\u003eWith wear, the pile settles; gentle rolls develop along elbows and shoulders; the distinctive 'deepening lustre' of tweed emerges gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fabric that grows more accomplished with time.\u003cbr\u003eThe moleskin at the collar imparts a soft touch against skin, whilst its contrast with tweed's solidity amplifies the material's appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colourway presents an olive-brown base with a restrained red and green overcheck—a traditional combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt distance, it settles as deep, quiet earth tone; approaching, the grain of the yarns and the subtlety of the check become evident—a two-layer presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beige moleskin collar brightens the face, lending refined reticence to the whole, weaving urbane polish into hunting's sturdy character. This tone possesses 'quiet authority'—uninsistent, yet impossible to overlook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt functions as your outfit's foundational hue or as a receptive ground for accent pieces, lending depth and conviction to styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight and unforced when paired with jeans or chinos.\u003cbr\u003eCombined with tailored pieces such as slacks, it shifts decidedly refined.\u003cbr\u003eIts versatility answers broad interpretive needs—a reliable anchor to any wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUncompromising in quality and timeless in design, it possesses a presence untouched by fashion's flux.\u003cbr\u003eIt is a coat that becomes companion over years of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked size \"46\"\u003cbr\u003eEquivalent to approximately a Japanese \"L.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actual measurements indicate a generous fit, accommodating larger frames without difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst showing evidence of wear—minor abrasion and loose stitching—no significant damage impairs function. It remains entirely wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA special order example made by INVERTERE for J.C. CORDINGS \u0026 CO.
