The coat behind the number

Anne-Marie Beretta designed the Max Mara 101801 coat in 1981. On its icon page, the house points to the coat’s precise proportions as part of its enduring design.1

One name, two lengths

The 101801 Icon Coat has a shorter counterpart, the Short 101801 Icon Coat. They share a family name but have distinct lengths and details.1

Read the full-length reference

The white 101801 Icon Coat, code 1018016006021 – MADAME, has an oversized cut with kimono sleeves, welt pockets, an internal belt and horn buttons. Its stated length is 120 cm. These are details of this exact white listing.2,3

The short reference

The camel Short 101801 Icon Coat, code 1086026106001 – REBUS, has an above-the-knee cut with roll-back kimono sleeves, double-breasted buttons and side welt pockets.4

Look inside the fabric details

Both cited codes have a fabric of 90% virgin wool and 10% cashmere, but their linings differ. The white MADAME lining is 98% cupro, 1% metallised fibre and 1% viscose; the camel REBUS lining is 100% viscose. Check the composition attached to the precise code you are considering.2,3,4

Compare the fall of each coat

The white MADAME reference is 120 cm long, while the camel Short REBUS is cut above the knee. Compare the length and cut of the exact model with your own measurements, then consult its size guide.2,4

Keep care tied to the label

The two cited product pages call for professional dry cleaning with a mild process and advise against washing or wet cleaning. Follow the care label and product page for the coat you choose, since fabric and lining details belong to individual codes.2,4

The sleeve does not have to follow the hem

The 101801’s roll-back kimono sleeves allow the cuff to be considered separately from the hem. On the full white MADAME reference, the sleeve turn-up adjusts to arm length; the coat itself is 120 cm long. The shorter camel REBUS keeps roll-back kimono sleeves but changes the body to an above-the-knee cut. When trying the two, first settle the cuff position, then judge where the hem falls. A photograph with a different sleeve turn-up can otherwise make a comparison of proportions misleading.2,4

Bring the layer you will wear underneath

The full-length reference has an oversized fit intended to work over a blazer. That makes the layer beneath part of a useful fitting: compare the coat over your jacket, with the cuffs set, rather than judging only a photograph over a thin top. Then turn to the lining. The shared wool/cashmere percentages describe the outer fabric of these two codes; they do not erase the different materials inside.2,4
