Guide to Buying Men's Autumn/Winter Coats
Having at least a couple of good quality coat's in your wardrobe is essential for the different seasons. Autumn can be cool and wet so a good raincoat is a must. A quality raincoat will see you through many years and is perfect for spring and autumn when the weather is cool but not too cold.
For wear, during our typical UK winters, a medium weight wool or tweed coat cannot be beaten for keeping you warm and comfortable. For a more severe UK winter and those outside of the UK who suffer far harsher winters then a good solid heavyweight wool or tweed overcoat is a great addition to a stylish winter wardrobe.
How to Measure for a Coat
All of the coats we offer for sale are sized to fit. So for example, if you measure 38-inch chest then you need a coat that is marked as a 38 fit. The letters S/R/L attached to the size indicates a short/regular or long fit and is most importantly an indication of the sleeve length.
When measuring for a coat you will need to take at least two measurements.
Firstly, breathing in place two fingers under the tape measure and measure around the widest part of the chest. This is your chest measurement and will indicate what size coat is required.
Next, you will need to take your centre neck to cuff end measurement so that you know what sleeve length is needed.
Make a note of these measurements as these are essential for picking the correct coat size.
As all styles of coat differ in how they are intended to be worn, ie fitted or loose etc we allow for this in our stated size however you may wish to go down or up a size if you prefer a more fitted or loose cut.
The difference between our actual chest measurement ( armpit to armpit doubled) and the size stated for the coat is a good indication of how the coat will fit. For a more fitted cut coat we may only allow 3 inches extra room for movement but on a loose fit coat like a raglan overcoat etc, we may allow up to 8 inches as these styles are intended to be a roomy relaxed fit allowing for wear over a suit etc and to allow ease of movement.
For the most part we have taken the guesswork out of sizing for a coat as once you know what style of coat you wish to buy then all you need to do is check the stated size given for a particular coat against your own chest measurement and the check that the length of coat is acceptable and sleeve length on coat matches your own.
We always have a huge selection of pristine coats, overcoats & raincoat/macs for sale with new stock added weekly.
