A long, thick overcoat with a classic double breasted front
This is a long, formal-leaning overcoat built for the cold months. It has a double breasted front with two rows of buttons, a turn-down collar with wide notch lapels, and button-tab cuffs. The cloth is a solid-color broadcloth, listed as wool and polyester, and the thickness is listed as thick.
If you have been looking for a double breasted wool overcoat for men with pockets that sits over a suit or a sweater without fuss, this is the kind of coat to consider. It costs $129, ships free to the US, and comes in gray, black and khaki.
A note on the photos: the pictures we have show several versions of this style in camel, charcoal and brown. Your color options are gray, black and khaki, so the shade you receive may look a little different from a photo on your screen. We describe only what the listing and photos support.
Why it works for men who need one serious winter coat
Plenty of men want one coat that handles the commute, the office and a dinner out afterward. A long, solid-color double breasted coat does that job without asking for much attention.
The double breasted front and lapels
The two rows of buttons and wide notch lapels give the coat its structured, traditional look. The listing describes the closure as double breasted and the front as fully open, so you can button it up against wind or leave it open over a jacket and tie.
The collar is a turn-down collar. It sits flat when the coat is open and can be turned up against cold air. The photos show a slim, tailored line through the body, which suits a business wardrobe.
Length, cuffs and pockets
This is a long coat. The listing puts it in the "long (26+ inch)" category, and the length by size runs from 43.31 inches in a small to 53.54 inches in an XXL. That is enough to cover a suit jacket and keep your upper legs out of the wind.
The cuffs show button tabs in the photos. The listing also describes the sleeve style as flare sleeve and the cuff style as conventional. We can't tell you the exact sleeve opening width, so treat the cuffs as a look rather than a promise of a snug wrist.
Pockets are listed as a decoration on this coat. The photos we have do not show them clearly, so we can't say how many there are, how deep they are, or whether they have flaps. If pocket details matter for what you carry, get in touch before you order.
Fabric and feel
The listing gives the material as wool and polyester, with a polyester lining. The fabric type is broadcloth, and the pattern is solid. Thickness is listed as thick, and the season is autumn and winter.
We do not have a fiber percentage, so we won't give one. Wool blends like this generally feel dense and smooth, and they hold a clean shape better than a knit would. Expect a coat with some weight to it. It is a cold-weather piece, not a light layer for a cool evening.
We also have no lining weight or insulation details. One photo suggests a padded or quilted lining, but the listing only confirms a polyester lining, so we can't promise extra insulation. If you live somewhere very cold, plan on a sweater underneath rather than counting on the coat alone.
There is no hood and no detachable part. The listing shows no stretch, so expect a woven, structured fit rather than a stretchy one.
Care instructions
No care label information came with the listing, so check the label inside your coat first. It overrides anything here. As general guidance for wool-blend overcoats:
- Dry cleaning is the usual choice for a coat like this, once or twice a season.
- Brush it with a soft clothes brush after wearing to lift dust and lint.
- Hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
- Let it dry naturally if it gets rained on, away from direct heat.
- Store it in a breathable garment bag, not plastic, over the summer.
Size guide
The coat is offered in S, M, L, XL and XXL, and the sizes are labeled in EU sizing.
The only measurement published for this coat is overall length. Chest, shoulder and sleeve measurements are not published, so please read the notes below carefully. All sales are final on fit.
How to measure
The most reliable method is to compare against a coat you already own and like.
- Lay your best-fitting coat flat and buttoned.
- Measure straight across the chest, just under the armpits, then double that number.
- Measure from the base of the collar down the back to the hem. Compare it with the length figures above.
- Measure the sleeve from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
- Measure your own chest over the sweater or jacket you plan to wear under the coat.
Write the numbers down before you order. If you are not sure of your chest measurement, a tape measure and a friend will do it in a couple of minutes.
Which size should I choose?
Start with the length. The coat lengths by size are:
- S: 43.31 in (110 cm)
- M: 45.28 in (115 cm)
- L: 47.24 in (120 cm)
- XL: 50.39 in (128 cm)
- XXL: 53.54 in (136 cm)
The photos show a slim, tailored cut. If you plan to wear a suit jacket or a thick sweater underneath, and you are between two sizes, the larger one is the safer pick. A coat that is a little roomy can still be worn well. One that pulls across the back or shoulders cannot.
The sizes are in EU labeling, so don't assume your usual US letter size will match. Because we don't have a full chart and returns are not accepted for fit, we would rather you ask us a question than guess. Message us with your height, chest measurement and usual jacket size, and we will tell you what we can honestly say.
How to style it
A coat like this does most of the work for you. A few simple pairings:
- Business: Wear it over a suit and tie with leather shoes. Gray and black go with almost any suit color.
- Smart casual: Pair it with a knit sweater, dark jeans and boots. Khaki looks good here with navy or dark green underneath.
- Dressed up: Wear it over a dark jacket and trousers for a wedding or a holiday dinner. Black is the easy choice for that.
- Weekend: Leave it unbuttoned over a plain tee or turtleneck and chinos.
Keep the accessories simple. A scarf in wool or cashmere, plain leather gloves and a watch are enough. Since the coat has strong lapels and a double row of buttons, you don't need much else.
Pick the color by what you already own. Gray works with blue and charcoal suits. Black works with nearly everything and looks the most formal. Khaki is the lighter, warmer option and suits brown shoes and earth tones.
Where else you can wear it
This is a formal-leaning coat, but it isn't only for the office.
- Weddings and formal events: It goes over a suit without crushing the jacket, thanks to the full-opening front and generous length.
- Dinners and evenings out: It looks right in a restaurant coat check and keeps you warm on the walk there.
- Travel in cold weather: A long coat in a thick fabric works well through airports and train stations in winter.
- Holiday gatherings: It's a solid choice for church, family dinners and winter outings where you want to look put together.
It is not a rain jacket and not a technical outdoor coat, and the listing does not mention waterproofing. For heavy rain or snow, a shell or an umbrella is a better idea.

Frequently asked questions
Does this coat really have pockets?
The listing names pockets as a feature of this coat. The photos we have do not show them clearly, so we can't tell you how many there are, how deep they are or whether they have flaps. Ask us before ordering if the details matter to you.
What colors does it come in?
It comes in gray, black and khaki. Photos of this style show camel, charcoal and brown versions, so the shade on your screen may differ a bit from the coat you get.
Is it warm enough for winter?
The listing describes the coat as thick, for autumn and winter, with a polyester lining. We don't have insulation or temperature ratings. It should be a solid choice for cold weather with a sweater underneath, but we can't promise how it will do in extreme cold.
How long is the coat?
Lengths by size run from 43.31 inches (110 cm) in S to 53.54 inches (136 cm) in XXL. It sits well below the hip on most men and is a true long overcoat.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
No. All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If the coat arrives damaged, defective or wrong, we will replace it or refund it within 14 days of delivery. That is why we suggest measuring a coat you own and asking us about sizing before you order.
