The Overcoat Thread

[CasualWearer88]

A overcoat that I found in a vintage shop in Paris last year. The fabric weight is an estimated 700 - 800 grams. I love the silhouette and especially the unique wide collar.

Best regards

It looks very flattering. Nice outfit as well.

Probably my "final" coat collection. It's winter here 8 months of the year, so coats are important. Might as well be cold in style.

Variety of different cuts, silhouettes, shapes, lengths. I err towards oversized/too big though. I've gained 25 lbs in a year so I enjoy the leeway.

Vtg 50s(60s?) Raglan coat. Love the mottled effect. Lightweight and spongey

Polo coat, Marling & Evans wool fabric. The massive skirt is my favourite and looks great when walking.

Vtg camelhair polo coat, 80s

Replica Max Mara women's teddy coat. Unfortunately too slim to button up, so I just wear it open, looks better that way anyway.

Beams patchwork corduroy raglan.

Vtg 80s Hickey Freeman alpaca coat

Marling & Evans belted raglan coat

18 East melton bridge coat (greatcoat?)

Vtg 80s RL polo coat. Why 2 camel coats? Different shape/cut/length.

Awesome collection!

On that PRL line I fixed the buttons on mine. Looks much better and this is just a sweater under it.

Wow, that's a cool set of overcoats! Do you manage to wear them all during those 8 months? My driving to work reduces the number of coats I wear to only 1 in 5.

Awesome collection, online or local thrifting? I’m like US36, other than surplus stuff feels harder to see stuff in my size

It still needs some waist suppression in my eyes.

A nice collection. Pretty fond of that teddy coat, I think it suits well your style.

By the way, there isn't something like final in clothing.

How many overcoats do people own, I wonder?

I've just taken stock of my own, and I have seven full overcoats. This is only the number of classic wool overcoats, however. If I were to include duffle coats, raincoats, shearlings, and some "in betweeners," the number is more like fifteen. I have decided that this is too many. They are getting too powerful.

I mean if you can fit a coat under it isn't it an overcoat?

For context I think I have like 8 including Barbour and rain coats.

I suppose so. It's a bit difficult for me to imagine a duffle coat as a serious garment. It's too... happy-go-lucky when I wear it.

I struggle to imagine a lifestyle for myself that includes the necessity of owning more than, say, ten overcoats of varying types, and yet here we are. I'd go live in a madhouse, but we've eliminated those out of kindness to people with too many overcoats.

Maybe just the photo perspective, but the length looks odd hitting right at the knee

As they say in French, "Oy Vey"

I own at lest 30, including a few trench coats. And that's after I sold at least 10 this season 😱
I want to sell at least 10 more and
I plan to buy a few more - particularly short and light car coats as it is quite uncomfortable with long coats to ride in a cabs

I agree with you. I know the prevailing opinion is that long coats = better, and I agree they look cooler, but they are hella impractical if you travel by car often. Nice to have both options.
