I have two, one camel and one grey. Basically if I'm wearing brown shoes I wear the brown overcoat and if I'm wearing black shoes I wear the grey overcoat.

two and I will buy another this year. not so much that I need them, but the oldest is 22 years old, the other is 10 years old. they last forever, so one every 10 years or so isn't bad.

Having more than 2 (one dark/solid and more formal; one lighter/patterned and more casual) is completely unnecessary.Originally Posted by Holdfast
I have 5.
I just love how an overcoat looks: they have such an intrinsic drama and flair to them that they add immense enjoyment to wearing a winter outfit. And since I don't much like the cold, something that adds fun to going out in the cold is a very welcome thing.

I was wearing a gray glen plaid with red overcheck (more subtle than it sounds) the other day and a guy told me I looked like Sherlock Holmes. I was kinda pleased with that.
Speaking of Holmes, Stephen Moffatt's modern incarnation has a nifty overcoat.
I have more overcoats than I need or can wear. Yet I still sometimes toy with getting one made up, to take the crazy to the next level.
It's a shame most modern overcoats are so boring.

I rotate between a duffle coat, trenchcoat and overcoat depending on the weather.
I feel like you can wear a formal coat casually... as long it's not jetblack.
