The short answer: The Leyburn Hooded Quilted-Lined Longline Coat (£79.00) is a plain, logo-free longline coat cut to sit at mid-thigh, with a padded diamond-quilted lining, a fixed hood with drawcords and a full-length concealed zip. Its smooth woven outer is wind-resistant — the record publishes no waterproof rating, no fibre breakdown and no garment measurements, and this page says so plainly rather than filling the gaps. It comes in Black and Khaki, sizes S–XXL, in a regular, straight cut.

What is a quilted-lined longline coat?
A quilted-lined longline coat is a longer coat — here, cut to sit at mid-thigh — whose insulation sits in a padded, quilted lining inside a plain outer, rather than in a thick shell. The Leyburn's outer is a smooth, wind-resistant woven cloth; the warmth is in the diamond-quilted padded lining. It is not a waterproof coat, and it is not a tailored overcoat: it is a clean, insulated layer with a hood, made to go over knitwear and tailoring alike.
How we chose these: the coats compared below were chosen on facts published on their own product records — price, sizes offered, length, lining and fill exactly as stated, hood type and care — from our own product data. Where a record publishes no measurement table or no fibre breakdown, the comparison says so instead of estimating.
How long is the Leyburn, and what does that length cover?
The Leyburn sits at mid-thigh, and that length is the point of the coat: it covers a jacket or blazer worn underneath, where a hip-length coat leaves the jacket hem and the tops of the legs exposed. The record publishes no garment measurements in centimetres for this coat, so no length figure is quoted here — mid-thigh is the record's own description. Best for covering tailoring: the Leyburn (£79.00), worn over a blazer on the commute.
What is the Leyburn made of?
The record describes a smooth, wind-resistant woven outer with a padded, diamond-quilted lining, and publishes no fibre percentages or fibre breakdown — none is stated here. The coat is plain and logo-free, with a fixed hood with drawcords, a full-length concealed zip and side-entry pockets. Because no composition is published, no warmth or cloth claim is made beyond the record's own wording: a padded quilted lining for cold-weather wear, in a wind-resistant outer.
Is the Leyburn waterproof?
No waterproof rating is published for the Leyburn, and it should not be bought as a waterproof coat. The outer is described on the record as wind-resistant, which is a different claim: it is the coat for cold, windy days, not the coat this page would point to for sustained rain. If rain is the main problem, the Narberth Fleece-Lined Water-Resistant Hooded Parka (£69.00) publishes a water-resistant shell rated to 3000mm for showers and drizzle — its record states a rating, and the Leyburn's does not.
How does the Leyburn fit, and what size should you order?
The Leyburn is a regular, straight cut, and the sizes shown are already converted to UK fit. Choose your usual UK size; if you are between sizes, or plan to layer a thick jumper underneath, go one size up — that is the record's own sizing advice. It comes in sizes S–XXL in two colours: Black and Khaki. No garment measurement table is published for this coat, so check the fit guidance here rather than a centimetre table that does not exist.
- Black: best for the commute — over a roll neck and dark trousers, per the record's own styling.
- Khaki: best for weekends — with denim, a crew-neck jumper and suede boots, per the record's own styling.
How do you wear a hooded longline coat over tailoring?
Wear it the way the record styles it: the straight, regular cut is made to sit over knitwear and tailoring without pulling, and the mid-thigh length covers the jacket underneath. The plain, minimal outer is what makes that work — there are no logos or details to fight the outfit below it. The fixed hood is there for the walk at either end of the journey; the concealed zip keeps the front clean when it is down. Our longline overcoat guide covers length and proportion in more depth.
How does the Leyburn compare with the Narberth and the Lanark?
All three are hooded WARDLEY winter coats; they differ in length, lining and price, on their own records:
| Product | Price | Sizes | Length and lining | Hood | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leyburn Quilted-Lined Longline Coat | £79.00 | S–XXL, Black / Khaki | Mid-thigh; padded diamond-quilted lining; wind-resistant woven outer (no rating published) | Fixed, with drawcords | Covering a jacket or blazer in cold, windy weather |
| Narberth Fleece-Lined Parka | £69.00 | S–XXL, Black / Charcoal / Olive | Parka length; deep-pile fleece lining; water-resistant shell rated to 3000mm | Detachable, fleece-lined | Wet, cold days — showers and drizzle |
| Lanark Longline Down Puffer Coat | £229.00 | S–XXL, Forest Green / Black / Khaki | Knee-length; 90% duck down fill; water-resistant shell | Fixed, with stand collar | The coldest weeks, at a longer length |
The short version: choose the Leyburn (£79.00) for a plain mid-thigh coat that covers tailoring and carries its warmth in a quilted lining; choose the Narberth (£69.00) when the day is wet as well as cold, because its record publishes a water-resistance rating; choose the Lanark (£229.00) for knee-length down warmth in the coldest weeks.
How do you care for the Leyburn?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry; hang to dry, and cool iron the outer if needed. That is the care instruction exactly as the record publishes it.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
The Leyburn (£79.00) comes with free tracked UK delivery: dispatch in 1–2 working days, delivery in 3–5 working days from order. Returns run for 30 days on unworn items, and return postage is free on UK orders. For a coat bought for a particular cold week, order ahead of that week rather than in it.
