Two fabrics, and they are not trying to match. The body and sleeves are quilted and filled for warmth; the collar and belt are cut from a brushed wool-trim cloth with the edges left raw and fraying, deliberately.
That contrast is the design. The collar is enormous - a shawl that folds back across the chest and reaches almost to the shoulder line - and the same cloth forms a wide belt that ties rather than buckles. The quilting runs in horizontal channels through the body and down each sleeve, and the length falls past the knee.
Down coats usually ask you to give up on looking like anything for three months of the year. This one does not.
