Nour Hammour: A Try On

i’ll take one of each tysm

Founded in 2013 by Nour Hammour and Erin Conry Webb, the duo met at Instituto Marangoni in Paris. They initially started making jackets for friends before expanding to the public. One of their original designs was a studded moto jacket, which later evolved into the broader range of styles they carry today. This article from 2018 gives you a glimpse at their production in the early days. Today, they boast a vast collection of leather and shearling jackets, skirts, hats, scarves, belts, clutches and gloves. You can still find a variation of the studded jacket in their rotation too! Fun fact, their leather atelier is led by a woman.

ps — I usually start my try-ons with a “what I own” section, but I have yet to buy anything from Nour Hammour! Fingers crossed for a Sima soon!

This is part of an ongoing series of try-ons featuring Parisian brands (or brands I simply love). If you’re curious, I’ve previously shared try-ons from Buck Mason, Soeur, Posse, A.P.C and Facettes Studios.

What I Tried On

Marlene Decadent Shearling Coat

Marlene has a substantial weight, ensuring you look incredible while keeping you incredibly warm on the coldest of days. I tried it on in black which has since sold out, but you can find it available in other tones here.

Fit notes — Runs slightly oversized. Go true to size for a relaxed look. Size down for a fitted look.

I tried it on in black, but it doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. You can find it in a few more colors here. The color in the middle is Toffee.

Sima Midi Chic Shearling Coat

After commenting on the weight of the Marlene coat, the associate suggested Sima and I was speechless when I tried it on. The coat can be worn with the shearling displayed on the sleeve when it’s folded or with the shearling tucked into the inside. I tried on two sizes — my true size and one size down. Both fit roomy — draping beautifully, which shows how flexible the sizing can be.

Fit notes — Runs oversized. Go true to size for a relaxed look or size down if you prefer less drape.

like are you kidding meeeee

Sima Grand Shearling Coat

This is essentially the longer version of the Sima Midi, offering the same luxurious elements with added length. Despite being longer, it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It reminds me of something you might find in your grandmother’s wardrobe. It’s spacious enough to accommodate a thicker sweater underneath, and like the Midi version, it runs oversized. The images on the website appear more black, but it’s very much a deep brown.

Fit notes — Runs slightly oversized. Go true to size for a relaxed look. Size down for a fitted look.

joni Off-duty Shearling Essential

I fell in love with Joni the moment I saw her online. It’s reminiscent of a jacket my mother in law wears, and I thought of her as I tried this one on. The beauty of this coat is that it’s reversible. When the shearling is on the inside, it’s a touch tighter, so I’d opt for a thin sweater or button down. When it’s worn in reverse, it feels roomier. If you plan on wearing the shearling side inside, I’d suggest sizing up for extra comfort around the arms and waist.

Fit notes — Fits true to size, but snug. I’d recommend sizing up for a roomier fit in the arms and waist.

Portia Modern Shearling Aviator

Another beauty I fell in love with while perusing Nour Hammour’s website and I was thrilled to try it on in person. Even though I wanted to try it on in black, the only color available in the showroom was biscuit. It fits slightly oversized which makes it easy to layer with thicker sweaters for added warmth.

Fit notes — Fits true to size. I’d recommend going true to size for a relaxed look. If you prefer a more fitted look, size down.

the dark brown with black shearling is also stunning

Hale Everyday Wool Coat

As a fan of red coats, this wool coat was no exception. They didn’t have my size in the showroom, but the next size down still fit slightly oversized. It has subtle shoulder pads that give it a bit of structure and extra “umph.” Since it’s unlined, it works well as a transitional piece.

Fit notes — Runs oversized. I’d recommend going down one size. If you want to layer thicker pieces underneath, go true to size.

color in the middle is chestnut

Seraphina Luxe Shearling Coat

This felt like a cozy hug. Although I’m not usually the biggest fan of wrap coats, I liked this one. You can wear it open or tie the strap in the back. When it’s open, there is no hint of the strap, giving the coat a sleek look. It also worked beautifully with a thick sweater layered underneath.

Fit notes — Runs oversized. I’d recommend going true to size. If you want a fitted look, go down a size.

Evita Plush Shearling Coat

Wearing Evita made me feel like a teddy bear. It may look black at first glance, but it’s actually a dark brown — making it versatile and a chameleon of a color. It’s lightweight, yet still warm enough for chilly winter days. It’s also roomy for those days when you need to wear a thicker sweater underneath.

Fit notes — Runs oversized. I’d recommend going true to size. If you want a more fitted look, size down.

you can also find a long version of Evita

Gotham Sleek Leather Coat

I felt instantly cool in this leather coat, which also has a duster like appeal that can elevate any outfit with a bit of edge. I was wearing a thick sweater, which pressed against the edges when buttoned. I would recommend thinner sweaters or shirts for a seamless look. If you like this, you might also like Althea.

Fit notes — Fits true to size. I’d recommend sizing up for a roomier look. If you prefer a more fitted look, go true to size.

Drey The It Girl Jacket

Reminiscent of vintage jackets you might find in secondhand shops, it’s safe to say Drey embodies the “it girl” vibe. It’s one that will break in nicely with wear and the rich brown hue pairs perfectly with any color palette you choose.

Fit notes — Fits true to size. I’d recommend sizing up for a roomier look. If you want a more fitted look, go true to size.

Ariste Fluid Leather Jacket

This is what I imagine a lived-in leather jacket would feel like. It’s incredibly soft to the touch and I didn’t want to take off. It features an adjustable hem toward the back, which allows you to easily fold the jacket inward if you wish. The funnel neckline and raglan-esque sleeves add a touch of drama and breaks from the traditional leather jacket look, giving the piece a slightly masculine appeal. It reminds me of something we’d steal from the boys.

Fit notes — Fits true to size. I’d recommend sizing up for a roomier look. If you want a more fitted look, go true to size.

Styles I Didn’t Get to Try On

A few styles I didn’t get to try, but are definitely worth perusing include this croc embossed red leather coat that was a striking red, a trench silhouette that has a cinching belt (or a suede equivalent with a removable shearling collar or one without!), a coat that feels like a cozy blanket and a cropped jacket with shearling cuffs that blends comfort with timeless elegance.

ps — you can find some of these beauties plus more in their sale section!
