The Garments

Outerwear

The garment everyone sees you in for five months of the year — and the one most men treat as an afterthought. Cut to go cleanly over a suit, an overcoat is the finish on the whole outfit.

A store coat is cut for a man in a sweater; drop a suit jacket underneath and it pulls across the back and rides up at the collar. A made overcoat is drafted to sit over tailoring — clean through the shoulders, long enough to cover the jacket, warm without the bulk.

The Chesterfield with its velvet collar, the polo coat in camel, a topcoat for milder days, or a car coat for the everyday — in cloth heavy enough for a real Toronto winter.

Common questions

Good to know.

Straight answers
Why have an overcoat made instead of buying one?

A store coat is cut for a man in a sweater — drop a suit jacket underneath and it pulls across the back and rides up at the collar. A made overcoat is drafted to sit cleanly over tailoring, warm without the bulk.

What overcoat styles do you make?

The velvet-collared Chesterfield, the camel polo coat, a topcoat for milder days and an everyday car coat — in cloth heavy enough for a real Toronto winter.

What cloth is best for a Toronto winter coat?

Melton, wool-cashmere, camel-hair and covert cloth — heavy enough to hold warmth and their line, but still able to drape. I'll match the weight to how cold you actually run.

How long should my overcoat be?

Long enough to cover your suit jacket — knee or just below for a formal coat, shorter for a car coat. I cut the length to your height and how you wear it.
