The Overcoat Thread

[vegancrabcakes]

Question for those who have explored or tried bespoke overcoating: how does the process compare to commissioning a bespoke suit? Are bespoke makers typically able to make a wide variety of overcoats, or do they typically offer a standard single/double breasted overcoat? And are specific "house styles" evident when it comes to overcoats?

Anyone know where or what to look for in terms of highly structured A-line coats?

@clee1982 tried on that Edward Sexton and it looks badass.

Never tried but maybe Frank Leader Greatcoat?

Also maybe military vintage stuff?

Nice cloth, not a fan of the style.

Sleeves are a bit too long, but beautiful fabric and nice styling.

That one is straight cut.

Not sure what to look for in terms of vintage.

The styling and buttoning is a little much for me. It feels a little too out there.

I'm guessing WW I era stuff would be A line without looking overly retro

So I got that Todd Snyder x PWVC greatcoat to try on, and I like it a lot, but I noticed some wrinkling on one side near the bottom of the coat. Should I be concerned about underlying problems with the fabric since it's brand new, or is that the sort of thing a press could fix?

EDIT: For reference, the jacket is unstructured and made of 800 gsm wool.

Tailor Caid? His polo coats look great, I have a pic saved of one of the camel ones that I think nails all the stylistic elements that I would want if I ever get the nerve to order one...

Process is about the same, not a lot of difference that I personally noticed. Every tailor cuts overcoats slightly different even if you commission the same thing. I would go on their instagram page and look at what their coats look like and then decided which you like

Stile Latino.
