Before You Order
Your questions, answered
Ordering a garment made to your measurements should feel reassuring, not nerve-racking. Here are the doubts men most often have, and exactly why you can set them aside.
I have never bought a suit I could not try on in a shop first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. Once you send your measurements, we make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth cut to your numbers and post it to you. You put it on at home, check the shoulders, chest, waist, and length, move around in it, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished suit is not a leap of faith, it is a fit you have already seen and approved on your own body.
I am worried I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to get it perfect. The videos and steps above walk you through each measurement one at a time, a friend or a local tailor can help with the ones that are easier with a second pair of hands, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment exists precisely to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust before your final cloth is touched, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
I have always struggled to find clothes that fit me. Broad shoulders, an athletic build, a longer or shorter torso, or a fuller waist. Is this really for someone like me?
It is made for exactly you. The men who fight hardest with off-the-rack are the ones who benefit most here, because there is no standard size to squeeze into. We cut to your proportions, broad shoulders with a trimmer waist, a fuller stomach with a shorter jacket length, a long or short back, so the garment follows your body instead of forcing your body into a shape it is not. There is nothing wrong with your build; there are only your measurements.
My body is not symmetrical, one shoulder sits lower or my posture is not textbook. Can you cut for that?
Yes. A garment made to your measurements is built for real bodies, not idealized ones. Note anything particular in your order, or simply show us on the test garment, and we adjust the cut, a lower shoulder, a fuller seat, a forward stance, and confirm it before the final cloth is cut. This is exactly what the process does that a size on a rack never can.
It is a lot to spend on something custom made. What is my safety net?
Your safety net is that nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble, you are paying for a garment whose fit you have already confirmed on your own body. And a well-made piece that actually fits gets worn for years, so the cost per wear is usually far lower than the compromise suits and jackets that sit unworn in the wardrobe.
I need this for a wedding or a specific event and I am anxious it will not be right on the day.
Tell us the date when you order and we plan the whole timeline back from it, including the free test-garment stage, so there is time to confirm the fit and make any adjustments with room to spare. For a dated event we recommend ordering two to three months ahead. Because you approve the fit on the test garment before the final piece is cut, you are not walking into your event hoping it fits, you already know it does.
What if it arrives and something is still not quite right?
The final garment is cut to the exact fit you signed off on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, your finished piece carries seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right. You are never left alone with something that does not work.
What if my weight changes before the event, or later on?
Take your measurements as close to the date as you can, and if your size shifts before we cut the final cloth we simply work to your new numbers. For afterwards, your finished garment is made with seam allowances so a local tailor can take it in or let it out within reason, and we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another piece that fits is simple whenever you want one.
Do I really need someone to help me, or can I do this alone?
You can absolutely do it alone. Most measurements are straightforward to take on yourself with the videos above, and only a few, like across the back and shoulders, are simply easier with a friend holding the tape. Either way, the free test garment is the real check: whatever you measure, you confirm the fit on your body before anything final is made.

Description
Percival Graves Black Coat
Every Graves Coat Online Is a Costume. This One Is a Coat.
Search for Percival Graves coats and you will find the same thing everywhere: a cotton-polyester blend sewn in a week, packaged with a vest, a tie, a scarf, and a size chart. It looks like the coat in the thumbnail. On the body, it drapes like a bathrobe. The princess seams that give Graves his silhouette that long, flared skirt, that swept-back authority cannot be achieved in cotton. The fabric has no memory. It hangs.
The reason the Graves coat commands a scene is construction. Colleen Atwood built it with structure: a deep shawl collar that sits with weight, wide vented cuffs that move deliberately, princess seams that flare from the back. The silhouette is specific. A fraction off and it reads as a long black coat, not as Graves.
This is a bespoke replica tailored to your measurements in Super 140s worsted wool, the same class of fabric used in high-end suiting, not costume production. The canvas front construction means the coat holds its shape through events, conventions, and daily wear. The white acetate lining flashes correctly when the coat moves. And before we cut the final coat, we send you a free test coat to confirm every measurement first.
Available in black (screen-accurate) and 11 additional colors if you want the silhouette without the character reference. Choose your lining from 34 options.
Free Test Coat
The Silhouette Has to Be Right. The Test Coat Makes Sure It Is.
This coat’s silhouette is its whole identity. The width of the shawl collar, the break point of the flare, the length and pitch of the sleeve, these are what make it recognizable. A centimeter off in the wrong direction and it becomes a generic black coat.
Before we cut your final coat in Super 140s wool, we make a test coat in the same construction and send it to you first. Try it on over a suit jacket, the way Graves wears it. Check the shawl collar height against your own neck. Check that the back sits flat and the flare starts at the right point. Send us your notes and we adjust before the real fabric is cut. No guesswork. No surprises on delivery.
The test coat is yours to keep. We cover shipping both ways on the test garment.
Who It’s For
Not Everyone Needs a Bespoke Replica. But Some People Really Do.
The convention regular who has tried the alternatives
You have ordered a Graves coat before. It arrived looking fine in photos. On the body it was cotton-stiff, too short, or wrong through the shoulders. You wore it once. You want the version that holds up across a full convention weekend, layers properly over a suit, and still looks like the character at the end of day two.
The collector who wants one version, correct, in the wardrobe permanently
You are not cosplaying. You want the Graves coat because the design is exceptional and you plan to wear it. You need it in proper wool so it behaves like outerwear, not a Halloween costume. You will wear it to dinners, events, or just because it is a remarkable coat. The character reference is context, not the point.
The detail-obsessed person who has done the reference work
You know what the princess seams are supposed to do. You have paused the film to check the shawl collar width. You know the sleeve cuffs vent. You want a maker who understands why those details exist and builds them correctly, not one who approximates from a screenshot.
The person who did not know they wanted a wizard coat until now
You have never thought about cosplay. But you have always wanted a long black coat with real presence, something that reads as intentional and powerful, not theatrical. Graves’ coat is, underneath the character, a masterclass in formal outerwear design. It does not require a wand to work.

FAQ
Common Questions
The cotton-polyester coats I’ve seen are much cheaper. What’s the actual difference in wear?
Cotton and polyester blends don’t hold a tailored shape. The princess seam back that gives Graves his silhouette works because wool has memory, it drapes with weight and recovers its form. A cotton version of the same construction will look right on a hanger and wrong on a body within an hour of wear. If you are going to have this coat, you want it to look like the coat.
I want to wear this over a suit. Will the fit work for that?
Yes, this is specifically what the test coat is for. Graves wears his coat over a suit in the film, and that layering needs to be accounted for in the measurements. When you try on your test coat, we ask you to test it over whatever you plan to wear beneath it. We build in the right amount of ease for the shoulders and chest before cutting the final coat. The armholes are also hand-stitched and ample enough for layered movement.
Can I get this in a color other than black?
Yes. The coat is available in 12 wool colors including charcoal, navy, grey, tan, blue, brown, white, and others. The lining is available in 34 colors. Black with white acetate is the screen-accurate combination, but the silhouette works in any color. Price does not vary by fabric color or lining choice.
Can I specify a custom coat length?
Yes. You can specify your preferred coat length through the measurement section during checkout. If you are unsure, the test coat is a good opportunity to assess whether you want any length adjustment before the final coat is made.
How long does the process take?
From order to delivery of the final coat, allow approximately 3-4 weeks. This includes production of the test coat, shipping it to you, any adjustments, and production of the final coat. We ship the test coat and final coat by trackable courier to any country.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide by trackable courier. Both the test coat and the final coat are shipped to your address regardless of location.
I’ve never done bespoke tailoring before. Is the measurement process complicated?
No. You enter your measurements on this product page. A guide walks you through each measurement with clear instructions, you just need a flexible measuring tape. If the measurements you provide are off, the test coat will show exactly where, and we correct it before cutting the final coat. That is the whole point of the test garment process.
Is this coat wearable outside of cosplay or conventions?
Yes. The Graves coat is, structurally, a formal long coat with a shawl collar and flared back. Made in wool at suit quality, it wears as outerwear for dinners, events, or everyday use. You do not need a convention or a character reference to justify it. Several customers order it specifically as a statement outerwear piece that happens to be screen-inspired.
What is a canvas front and why does it matter for this coat?
A canvas front is a layer of woven horsehair canvas stitched into the body of the coat between the outer fabric and lining. It gives the front structure and allows the coat to conform to your body over time. The alternative is a fused front, two layers glued together. Fused fronts eventually separate, bubble after cleaning, and can never be pressed flat. Canvas front coats hold their shape through years of wear. For a coat this specific in its silhouette, it matters.

Men’s Outerwear Fit Guide
How a Men’s Coat Should Fit
A coat is the first thing people see and the piece that has to work hardest, over a shirt one day and a suit or heavy knit the next. That makes fit a balancing act: sharp enough to look tailored, roomy enough to layer without pulling. A coat made to your measurements settles that for good. You choose the length and the fit, we cut the shoulders, chest, and sleeve to your body with the right room to layer, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut.
Outerwear is the most enduring thing in most wardrobes, worn daily through a whole season and returned to winter after winter. Built to your frame in quality cloth, a good coat is something you own and love for years, not a purchase you second-guess. This guide covers the fits, the lengths, and the points to check so yours is right from the first wear.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim
Shaped close to the body over a shirt or fine knit, for a sharp, defined line. Best if you mostly wear your coat over lighter layers and want a clean silhouette.
Standard
Comfortable room to layer a jacket or knit underneath without strain, while keeping a clean line. The most versatile fit for everyday wear across the season.
Relaxed
Generous through the body and shoulder for a contemporary, easy drape and room for heavy layers. Ideal if you want maximum warmth and a modern look.
Athletic
Cut for a built frame, with extra room through the chest and shoulders and a trimmer waist, so a muscular build layers comfortably without the coat looking boxy.
You also choose the length, from a hip-length car coat to a mid-thigh topcoat or a full overcoat below the knee, and we cut it to your height so the proportions are right.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Shoulders
The shoulder sits cleanly at or just past your own, structured enough to hold the coat’s line but never overhanging or pulling. On outerwear the shoulder carries the whole garment, so we cut it to you.
Chest & layering room
The coat closes comfortably over the layers you actually wear, with room to move your arms and no strain across the back. We cut in the layering allowance you tell us you need.
Sleeve
The sleeve is long enough to cover a jacket cuff and reach the base of your hand, so no shirt or jacket peeks out in the cold, and cut clean so it does not bunch.
Length & drape
The hem falls at the length you chose, cut to your height, and the coat hangs straight and clean from the shoulder with no flaring or pulling. This is what makes a coat look considered rather than bought off a rail.
Every coat is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, in the fit and length you choose, with the room to layer built in. A free test garment confirms the shoulders, chest, sleeve, and length on your body before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most men have, and why you can relax
Coats never fit right once I layer underneath. Either they are tight over a jacket or huge over a shirt. Can you solve that?
Yes, because we build the layering room in on purpose. Tell us what you actually wear under your coat, a suit jacket, a heavy knit, both, and we cut the chest and back to close comfortably over it while still looking clean on its own. You confirm exactly that room on the free test garment before the final cloth is cut.
I have never bought a coat I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put it on over your usual layers, check the shoulders, chest, sleeve, and length, and send us your notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished coat is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment is there to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
A coat like this is a big spend. What is my safety net?
Nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment, so you are never gambling on a coat you have not seen on your body. And a coat is worn more than almost anything else you own, most days for a whole season, so the cost spread across years of wear is usually very small for something you rely on daily.
Will I still love it in five years, or will it feel dated?
A coat is exactly where buying to keep pays off. We cut a timeless line rather than a trend, in quality cloth built to last, so it wears in beautifully and holds its shape season after season. Most men find their coat becomes the one they reach for every day of winter, and years on it still feels like theirs. It is made to be owned and enjoyed for a long time, not replaced.
What if it arrives and something is still not right?
The final coat is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished coat carries seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
What if my weight changes over the years?
Your finished coat is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can adjust it within reason if your shape shifts, and its layering room gives it natural flexibility. We also keep your measurements on record, so ordering another piece that fits is simple whenever you want one.

A fantastic experience and coatIt was a fantastic experience working with Baron Boutique. I loved the coat I got so much that I had them go on to make several more items, including a matching vest and pants. I also went on to have them make 3 more copies of the coat, in different color/material combinations. So wonderful! They are my favorite new garments!

A great, recognizable replicaGreat replica, very recognizable, could use a few more features.
Some time ago, I struck up a conversation with Raj Bista of Baron Boutique. He is one of its founders and has been there for its entire 20-year history, being the main point of contact by answering emails himself. During our conversation, he asked if I would like to test one of their movie replicas after the prototype had been finalized. I was more than happy to, given it was based on a costume from one of my favourite movies of the last few years. Just in time, as the second movie has just released, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Baron Boutique has seen some popularity in the nerd and cosplay community due to their replica costumes. I first came across them when looking up replicas of Neo’s coat from The Matrix Reloaded back in 2004. My funds did not allow for such an expenditure back in high school, but I nonetheless bookmarked them. I later purchased a three-piece suit in my newly found menswear craze when I came into a bit more money in college. At the time it was only $209, a medium grey tropical wool number. This had mixed results, primarily due to me not knowing how to measure! However, the quality was generally pretty good and the fabric worked well enough for Florida’s hot and humid climate.
Fast forward to over a decade later and I am reviewing the Percival Graves Black Coat for them. This is the robe-like overcoat worn by Colin Farrell’s character in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Colleen Atwood’s costume designs were based on aspects of 1920s fashion, but with a wizard or witch twist. In this case, it also hinted at Graves’ true identity as one of most dangerous wizards of all time. The full-length coat has an open shawl collar all the way down that subtly reveals the lining, connecting it visually to the sleeve lining and piping detail of the same fabric. The sleeves have a long vent without buttons and are flared at the end for a wizardly appearance. The Baron Boutique replica can be ordered in the default black with white colour scheme, but also several other colours of tropical wool and viscose lining if one prefers. I personally feel the lining looks closer to off-white in the actual film stills and promotional images, but Raj requested that I test out their default colours. The tropical wool may have been chosen for comfort, given the wearers of this coat could be walking around pop culture conventions all day rather than a movie set or outside in fall and winter. The movie costume appears to use a thicker fabric than this, more accurate to when suitings and overcoatings were generally heavier than they are now. Their heavy weight wool cashmere overcoating would be a perfect choice here for getting the right drape versus period accuracy.
The other, most noticeable change here is that the original garment is lined with a corduroy-like ribbed fabric, whereas this replica has a satin viscose lining that will, again, be lighter and thinner at the sacrifice of accuracy. It would be nice to have accents of off-white corduroy where they are most visible (sleeve piping and opening, front panels, skirt below waist) as a compromise, in addition to the change of viscose lining colour I already suggested. The option of having the shell in heavier fabric could also be useful to those who want more screen accuracy or utility during the colder months. That said, the general shape and details are correct down to the body coat seams and buttoned, loose half-belt in back.
With the assistance of the YouTube videos provided on the website, my wife measured me. I was able to save it as a measurement profile for later use under any name desired, in case I order any other similar garments. One can, optionally, use pre-defined sizes. This is a nice feature, though it would be useful to get the sort of features for measurement profiles as seen on, say, Proper Cloth where one is able to clone and modify them for different uses. The fit I chose here was “Tailor Fit”.
First, I was sent a cotton fitting garment to get a general feel of the final product and nail down any fit issues and preferences. It is very basic, with just polyester lining and almost no inner construction. This took two weeks from when the order was placed and one is able to keep the garment, I suspect because shipping it back overseas would cost more than it’s worth. From there, one takes pictures from the front, back, and sides and notes any changes they want. They previously called this a “bespoke service”, but recently have changed the wording and clarified that this is part of their regular service. I’m happy they made this change, because while this step certainly helps I would not call it bespoke by any means. It is still made-to-measure, just a little better than many online services in that realm.
The fitting garment I received fits like a trim suit jacket rather than an overcoat. I could not wear a jacket underneath, only a shirt and waistcoat. I therefore asked for a couple of changes. First, the sleeves lengthened a half inch. Second, that the fit be a little more full in order to fit over a suit if desired.
I received the final garment and it’s quite nice, though could still use a bit of adjustment. Raj confirmed that the coat was widened by a couple inches in the chest and waist area. I think the sleeves, shoulders, and armholes could use some more room as well to fit better over a jacket or thick sweater. Upon trying on with a suit, the coat did fit over it but quite snugly. My suit jacket’s collar tends to peek up and out of the back. I think adding a bit more height and stiffness to the coat’s collar could help there. Broadening and structuring the shoulders more would help the resemblance too, as the original costume appears to have a more built up look. This helped Colin Farrell’s already-impressive physique look even more imposing. I would also suggest ordering with “Relax Fit” for a more screen accurate look. If I were to nitpick any other aspect of the fit, it would be the sleeve pitch. Ideally it would be moved back a little bit since my arms tend to hang down a bit more than most people, creating the slight crinkling effect on the back of the sleeve as seen above. (I am the man pictured here on the website.)
There are other little considerations that could help out cosplayers. For one thing, there are no internal pockets. Having two of the usual inner breast type for a wallet and phone, plus a third one allowing easy access to wand props, would help a lot with keeping one’s belongings on hand. they could even put a pocket near the small of one’s back, similar to old body coats, to store convention guides or other paraphernalia. You may also notice a label peeking out the right side. I feel it should be moved back into the coat an inch or two so that it is not accidentally glimpsed along with any pockets that were added. Now, I could have requested the addition of internal pockets, as they’ve done this in the past for customers, but I wanted to get a sense of the product as designed by Baron Boutique.
Overall though, this is a recognizable and accurate costume replica in its shape and cut. I sent some pictures of myself wearing it to friends who are “Potterheads” and they instantly recognized the character even though they were given no prior context! Loosening the fit overall and changing the fabrics to be more movie accurate would make it even better. I also hope they’ll consider making his three-piece suit, which similarly has a few distinctive touches that set it apart from 1920s “No-Maj” clothing. Baron Boutique did a pretty good job here and look forward to seeing more of their future projects.
Nouveau Vintage received material compensation from Baron Boutique in exchange for a review. However, every effort has been made to keep an objective point of view. Big thanks to Raj Bista for providing this made-to-measure garment to evaluate.
