Sportmax by Max Mara 2000s Waxed Linen Asymmetric Trench Coat

From Sportmax by Max Mara, circa 2000s, this warm ochre-brown trench coat is crafted from linen with a waxed finish that gives the fabric an unusual, almost leather-like appearance. Its slightly weathered surface recalls aged paper or well-worn leather, with a beautiful depth of colour and texture.

The coat features an asymmetric button closure, a structured stand collar, shoulder epaulettes, and an adjustable waist belt. Contrasting ivory topstitching traces the seams, pockets, belt, and cuffs, bringing definition to the tailored silhouette. The carefully considered buttons and hardware add further character to the design.

What makes this piece particularly special is the way the waxed linen develops its character over time. Subtle variations in colour and sheen give the surface a naturally aged appearance, lending the coat a quiet, lived-in elegance. A distinctive piece that balances utilitarian detailing with refined tailoring.
