What's your definition for "good drape"?What fabric weight is a good benchmark to achieve good drape in a wool overcoat? Is 20 oz sufficient, or should I go > 25 oz?
I own this one https://www.poszetka.com/product-eng-6891-Double-breasted-raglan-coat.htmlAnyone tried Poszetka's raglan coats? Thoughts on them?
Best bet in a pinch is vintage Burberry or Aquascutum tweed overcoats on ebay etc
These are UK shops, UK is no longer in EU.I feel like it’s actually a lot easier to get heavier coats OTR now versus 10 years ago. Off the top of my head:
-Permanent Style just released one.
-Drakes will probably have some options in a few weeks.
-I feel like Berg & Berg definitely had in the past, not sure on now.
-SEH Kelly has multiple online and in pipeline.
-Anglo Italian
taxes are exorbitant. at least +12% and then +25% on top of the 112%, making it at least +40%.Not sure what the taxes are from the US but O'Connells has a wide selection
of traditional heavy overcoats:
O'Connell's Harris Tweed Raglan Overcoat - Brown and Tan Herringbone
Classic Brown & Tan Herringbone in a comfortable medium-heavy weight Harris Tweed- easy on and easy off raglan sleeves. - Fly front (hidden buttons), deep slash pockets, raglan sleeves.- Full bemberg lining. - Impeccably tailored ioconnellsclothing.com
I have a a very a great coat from Walker Slater in a stunning burgundy super heavy 800g wool. I wear it all the time over the winter period. I have also been in Sweden last January where it was beautiful, sunny but -20 C for weeks and it did the job beautifully.Who's making OTR heavy (700+ gr) overcoats in the EU? Feels like the only option for me is to go bespoke, but it's too late for it now
I don't think those hip pockets look good with a raglan sleeve tbh.Any more thoughts on the new Berg & Berg raglan coat? 600 g. No size chart yet, but previous iteration had a nice length (116 cm). I think it looks nice, but curious to hear SF opinions
Sure mate. I returned the jackets.Also, @DonRaphael: have you received the coats you ordered? Would you mind giving an update on the fit and fabric?
