Question for the folks with DBF grandad coats: do you typically wear it belted or not? And if belted, how do you tie the belt most elegantly?

I rarely wear mine belted, unless it's incredibly cold or rainy/snowy. Because my commute is mostly from my office to my parking spot in Chicago, I tend to tie it pretty slapdash, whatever's quickest. Honestly looks great and elegant no matter how you tie it, IMO.

I’d tie it to one side and do a one loop situation. Not sure if that’s what anyone does but I like it.

Belted with a trusty square knot to the left side.

I personally keep it tied in the back in a loose knot. just enough to gather it and give a little shape to the back, but not nearly so much that it actually tapers it at all.

But, I also tend to wear it open for the dramatic swish as I walk, I don't often wear it closed (it hasn't gotten cold enough for it to be worn closed yet anyway. I probably still have it tied in the back except on the coldest days, and most times when it's cold but not awful, I just have the middle button done, so that I keep the amazing lapels.

I recall some rumblings about possibly stocking a Wythe coat this season that looks similar to the cream herringbone piece from last year. Any word on that? I’m ready to spend
