Description

The Coat

A Custom Made Overcoat in Gray Herringbone British Tweed

Most men buy an overcoat that is almost right. The sleeves stop a little short over a suit, the hem lands where the size chart put it rather than where it suits your height, and the shoulders are cut for a jacket you are not wearing. A coat is the piece people see first all winter, so almost right shows.

This custom made overcoat is cut to your body measurements and your desired length, in a gray herringbone British tweed of 100% pure new wool, about 400 to 450 grams per meter. It has a fly front that hides the four buttons when it is closed, medium notch lapels, a canvas front and armholes set by hand. Before the tweed is cut, you try the same coat in cotton at home, over the clothes you will wear under it.

Free Test Coat

Fitted Over Your Suit Before the Tweed Is Cut

An overcoat is the one garment that has to fit over something else. A coat that fits you in a shirt can bind across the back over a suit jacket, and sleeves that look right with arms down can ride up an inch when you reach for a door. That is why the fitting happens in cotton first, on you, over the layers you actually wear.

On men’s coats the changes we make most often are at the shoulders and the back: the front and back shoulders need different proportions on almost every man, and a man with a fuller chest or a rounder back needs the room placed there, not spread evenly. Lengths are the easy part; the test coat photos show at once whether the hem and sleeves need to move.

1
Choose the tweed, lining and fit
Pick a herringbone and a satin lining in the selector, choose your fit, then enter your body measurements and the length you want on the measurement form. Style changes go in its comment box.
2
We make your test coat in cotton
It is cut from the same pattern the tweed will use, takes 3 to 4 weeks to make, and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch by trackable courier.
3
Try it over a suit jacket
Wear the jacket or the heaviest sweater you will wear under the coat. Check the sleeve length with your arms bent, the room across the back when you reach forward, and where the hem lands in a mirror.
4
We cut the tweed
Your notes go into the pattern, the overcoat is made in 3 to 4 weeks, and it arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships. The cotton coat is yours to keep.

Your Length

Topcoat or Overcoat? Your Length Decides

A topcoat is usually shorter and lighter, ending at or above the knee; an overcoat is longer and heavier, reaching the knee or below. Cut above the knee this coat is a herringbone wool top coat, and at the knee or below it becomes an overcoat, because you enter the length on the measurement form, and the pockets, the vent and the button stance are placed in proportion to the hem you choose.

Just above the kneeThe modern herringbone topcoat length. It covers a suit jacket fully and moves easily, and it suits most heights.
At the kneeThe classic city overcoat length and the most forgiving across frames. The right choice if you will wear it over a suit most days.
Mid-calfThe full statement coat, warmer and more dramatic in motion. It looks right on taller men or with a strong shoulder to balance it.

Whatever you choose, the rule over a suit is simple: no part of the jacket should show below the coat. If you are unsure, tell us your height and how you will wear it, and we will suggest a length; the test coat then shows it on your own body.


The Tweed

The Herringbone British Tweed, Up Close

These are close-up photos of the actual cloth. Each herringbone is woven from two colors of yarn, so the zigzag carries depth that a flat solid cannot; from across a room the coat reads as one color, and up close the weave appears. The cloth is 100% pure new wool British tweed, firm enough to hold a tailored shape and dense enough to keep the wind off.

How It Is Built

Why We Make It This Way

Back of a men's gray herringbone overcoat in British tweed with a center vent and four-button cuffs, back view

Canvas frontA canvas between the tweed and the lining shapes the chest and lets the lapels roll. A glued, fused front is cheaper and stiffer, and it can bubble after cleaning; a canvas front keeps its line for years.
Fly frontA placket hides the four buttons when the coat is closed, so the front reads as one clean line from collar to hem. Open, the buttons show, as in the photo.
Armholes set by handA higher, closer armhole lets you lift your arm without the whole coat rising with it.
Hand pick-stitchingFine stitching along the collar, lapels and pockets keeps the edges flat in a cloth as springy as tweed.
Center vent and working cuffsThe vent opens as you walk or sit; the four-button vented cuffs have kissing buttons.

The trade-off is honest: a tweed coat built this way is heavier than a fused fashion coat and takes longer to make, because the canvas and the edges are worked by hand. In return it holds its shape over a suit for many winters.


How to Wear It

Wearing a Gray Herringbone Overcoat

Man in a men's custom made overcoat in gray herringbone British tweed, worn open over a sweater, front view

Over a suitOver navy, charcoal or a lighter gray suit with a white shirt and a tie, closed at the fly front: the classic city coat.
With knitwearOver a fine merino or cashmere sweater and dark trousers, as in the photo, worn open.
WeekendWith dark jeans, a crew neck and brown boots; herringbone tweed is at home off duty.
Shoes and scarfBlack or dark brown leather shoes; a navy, burgundy or camel scarf lifts the gray.

A gray herringbone is the most versatile coat a man can own because the pattern hides lint and light rain marks and goes with both black and brown. If this is your only good coat, choose medium gray at the knee.


Five Years On

What Five Years Do to a Tweed Overcoat

Tweed ages slowly. The surface softens, the herringbone settles into the shape of your shoulders and elbows, and the cloth sheds small creases overnight on a hanger. The places that show wear first are the cuff edges and the pocket mouths, which is why the edges are stitched by hand and the cuffs are vented rather than glued.

What ends most overcoats early is not the cloth but the build: a fused front that bubbles after a few cleanings, or a coat cut too tight to wear over a suit, so it stays in the closet. Brush it after wearing, let it dry naturally after rain, dry clean it rarely, and keep it on a shaped hanger, and this coat will look better in its fifth winter than in its first.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Custom Made Herringbone Overcoat

Q. Is this a topcoat or an overcoat?
A. Both, depending on the length you choose. A topcoat is traditionally lighter and ends at or above the knee, an overcoat is longer and warmer; this herringbone topcoat becomes a full overcoat if you enter a knee or mid-calf length. The tweed is a medium-heavy coating, warm enough for most city winters over a suit.
Q. What does custom made mean for this overcoat?
A. It is cut from a new pattern drawn from your body measurements and your desired length, with no standard sizes. You try a cotton test coat at home first, and your corrections go into the pattern before the tweed is cut.
Q. How much does a custom made overcoat cost?
A. Custom overcoats sold online through design configurators commonly start at about $200 to $550, and ready-made herringbone topcoats in good shops often cost over $1,000. This one is $775 in British tweed with a canvas front, and the price includes the free test coat, so the fitting is not an extra cost.
Q. Is a herringbone topcoat timeless?
A. Yes. Herringbone has been a coating weave for well over a century, and a gray herringbone in a classic notch lapel cut does not date the way a trend color or a fashion cut does. It looks classic with a suit and modern with knitwear and jeans, which is why it is one of the safest coats to own for many years.
Q. How long should an overcoat be over a suit?
A. Long enough that no part of the suit jacket shows below it. For most men that means just above the knee or at the knee; mid-calf is warmer and more dramatic and suits taller frames. You enter the length you want, and the test coat shows it on your own body.
Q. Is a tweed overcoat warm enough for winter?
A. Yes, for most city winters. Dense pure wool tweed holds warm air and blocks wind, and the coat is fully lined; with a suit or a sweater underneath it handles cold city days and evenings. For long periods in deep sub-zero cold, a heavier Melton coat is the warmer choice.
Q. Will it fit over a suit jacket?
A. Yes, if you tell us and try the test coat over a jacket. We place the extra room across the back and at the armholes, where a coat over a suit needs it, rather than making the whole coat bigger.
Q. What is British tweed, and is it itchy?
A. Tweed is a firm, textured woolen cloth, and this one is woven in Britain from 100% pure new wool. The body and sleeves are fully lined, so the tweed only touches you at the collar; a shirt collar or a scarf keeps it off the neck if you are sensitive.
Q. Which gray is in the photos?
A. Medium gray, a clear black and white herringbone. Light gray is softer and paler; both are in the selector, along with blues, greens and reds in the same British tweed.
Q. Does the coat have a fly front?
A. Yes. A placket covers the four buttons when the coat is closed, so the front reads as one clean line; in the photos the coat is open, which is why the buttons show.
Q. Can I change details such as the lapel, buttons or pockets?
A. Yes. Write it in the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. Peak lapels, visible buttons, a ticket pocket or a double-breasted front are all possible.
Q. How do I measure without a tailor?
A. Ask someone to help with the tape if you can, and follow our men’s measuring guide. On your own, take the main points and then measure a coat or jacket that already fits you well; we can guide you by video call or WhatsApp.
Q. When will my overcoat arrive?
A. The test coat takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you approve the fit, the tweed coat takes 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships, so order as early as you can before the cold sets in. Shipping costs are on our shipping and delivery page.
Q. How do I care for a tweed overcoat?
A. Brush it after wearing and let it rest on a shaped hanger. After rain, let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from a heater, and dry clean only when it really needs it.
