gray coat with upper collar in black velvet type material, thoughts?

[AvariceBespoke]

saw a nice coat at brooks brothers - from their black fleece TB line. single breast, 3 button i believe, had a strap in the back, nice collar w/ upper portion in black velvet type material ... fit was pretty good - although i had dimples in my upper sleeves like I do with EVERY OTR coat or suit


thoughts on this look? anyone seen this coat?

Sounds like a Chesterfield coat.

The look is as classic as it gets... You can't go wrong IMO.

That specific example is a modern coat styled like a classic chesterfield, but on the short side. I would prefer it over the knee.

i tried it on last night - fit pretty nice and I think could be used as dress or a business-casual coat

Hickey Freeman has theirs on sale for under $700 right now. Not a true Chesterfield (no fly front, SB PL, etc.). I had one made like this a couple of years back and wear it quite a bit.

The Chesterfield is a favorite of mine. I picked up a Tyrwhitt at deep discount. Not the warmest coat I won, but I do enjoy wearing it.

Try Paul Smith - they definately have a similar item to the photo you posted. I saw it in their store on 5th Avenue @ 16th Street (NYC). Ted Baker might also be worth a shot.
