Why should you order a bespoke overcoat?

When you want to choose a coat for yourself and start to understand its types, terminology can confuse you. If you are not very familiar with sewing, then the words "Bespoke Overcoat" and "made to measure overcoat" will not make much difference to you. These two methods are very different. Depending on how you want your suit designed, one will likely suit you better than the other.

A men's bespoke overcoat is a practical and sophisticated garment that will complement your look and keep you warm and dry in the British weather. With hours of professional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail put into every piece, a custom coat is a long-term investment.

Few pieces of clothing are as versatile as a tailored coat: it's practical yet very fashionable. British warm coat, car coat, chesterfield, cover up, sports jacket, parka, peacoat, raincoat or mackintosh - you can order any type of coat and personalise according to your taste.

What is the process for getting a bespoke overcoat? 

A bespoke overcoat is unique and created from scratch. Every element is designed specifically for you, down to the smallest detail. You can ask to create a coat similar to one from a fashion designer's collection and make a few changes.

Your tailor will hand-make this pattern, considering all your wishes. Bespoke overcoat  tailoring is one of the oldest professions in the modern fashion industry, as having clothes made for you was considered a sign of wealth.

Bespoke is the opposite of made-to-measure overcoats, as you can find these coats in any fashion store, literally take them off the rack, and take them home with you.

Costs of bespoke overcoat

Bespoke overcoat are expensive for several reasons: 

• they are sewn according to the client's exact measurements and taking into account his preferences; 
• only high-quality materials are used; 
• tailors work by hand on every detail of the costume, so the process is labour-intensive, lengthy, and requires skill; 
• bespoke clothing is exclusive, you can be sure of its uniqueness; 
• overcoats are very durable due to the quality of fabrics and tailoring; 
• they will outlive their relatives from retail clothing stores; 
• The brand and its location also play a role since a studio located in central London requires higher maintenance costs.

A bespoke overcoat costs between £2,000 and £2,600. The price of the product depends on the chosen fabric. Tailors use:

• pure wool;
• cashmere;
• cotton;
• silk;
• vicuna.

Tailors approach tailoring coats individually, and you, as a client, will be able to influence the tailoring process by choosing:

• type;
• length;
• pockets;
• buttons;
• lining and other design details.

All these factors undoubtedly affect the price of the finished coat, but you can also be confident in the quality, uniqueness, and durability of your clothing.
