Longer overcoats have great presence.
Great idea!
Longer (over-, trench-, great-) coats all the way. I hate this shortening tendency and have troubles to find something that would meet my personal tastes. And my size. (((
+Count Raven yeah
+Count Raven agreed
jay77755 Thought so. Unfortunately in my city (or even country I guess) there is a big problem to find for people of my size. And many of those stores are removed and changed by so called fashionable boutiques which generally supply stuff that I'm not fond of. Guess I'll have to use ebay or another stuff like that.
Well there is a difference between Dusters and Trench coats while they are in the Longer category the biggest difference is Dusters has a long break in the back for riding horses
Woman are offered adjusted, tailored clothes ; men are not (or no longer).
Thanks for these. I used to have to wear a suit and tie to work - I lived in a rural area, and enjoyed the excuse to "look nice". I miss looking sharp, and love your tips on doing so in everyday life.
@Speed00007 I agree - right now though I want to get out a base of videos to see what it is people really want to learn about - then we'll move to release better quality vids.
@cjs33139 Try getting the coat tapered to fit your body. I love my long coat - but it fits me like a glove in the torso and has a very masculine silloutte. Try it.
You’ve been putting in work for some time. Thank you brother for your commitment to your passion.
Thank you for the great info!
You're the man!!!! Of all the RUclips channels about style, you're the best!!! And believe me, I've seen millions!!!
Farid Nares thank you for the kind words - appreciate it sir
Superbly informative and concise. Thank you.
I just purchased what could of been a very expensive over coat at Goodwill for 8 bucks and it looks brand new. Khaki color overcoat very warm Eddie Bauer. It has a fur collar. Be sure to check out your local clothes you never know what you may fine. My jacket looks brand new
very interesting subject .
From experience I would say spend as much as you can afford to get a good coat .
I am quite tall ( 6 ft 3 ) and bought a Crombie 12+years ago and wore it with suits as well as jeans and boots .. I had mine relined once and this autumn my son bought me a new one that is exactly the same cut and fit and is super warm ... Guess what ? I wear nice suits , I wear designer perfumes and just normal .. but put on my Overcoat and everyone compliments it’s perfect style and sharp look without being over the top . Just one of the best purchases you could make so save up and get your money’s worth . Spending more will save you money long term .
Cool! Just wondering, where and what kind of overcoat did the speaker get? I'm really curious. Because I have been searching for an overcoat for a long time. Thanks!
@limmerguy You bet!
Thanks Antonio
That is a very lovely jacket you have on. Could I ask where you had it made?
Damn that's helpful. I am glad I found your channel. I shall subscribe!
FortunePayback Thanks :)
Thanks Antonio, I was just wondering if cashmere is much better than regular wool and worth the investment when buying overcoats
great!
I have a nice wool + 10% cashmere Chesterfield for the winter, but type of overcoat is best for spring or fall when it's raining? Trench coat? Top coat? Thanks.
Thanks sir for overcoat
well I have a coat with a sleeve that's a big bigger..it touches my palm...can this be reduced so it touches my wrist?
Hey man i wanted to ask you something,
I have got my new overcoat and however its S but still its a bit big for me, could you pleas tell me what can i do ?
Nice
Hello, Anotnio.
I am intending to tailor my overcoat, however I am a little bit of confused about the length of the coat! I am 5fit11inch, and how long my overcoat should be? bleow my knees or above knees and the equal of my knees!
In addition, I am having the confusion of color combination, like if I choose charcoal black for overcoat and pure black or midnight blue or charcoal grey for my blazer, koti, pant. Or the opposite combination, i mean pure black or midnight blue color or charcoal grey for overcoat and charcoal black for rest of the parts.
Could you please clarify my confusions.
I have 2 full length fur coats. One is a black mink, the other a silver-tip raccoon. i am 6' 4", and the coats are 55" in length. What kind of hat would you suggest I wear with them?
I learned that first point the hard way.
why are there no diagrams at all? or photos.
It was recorded before diagrams were invented.
Because the video was released six years ago :) Now we have everything we can think of :)
Can you shed some light on car coats. I've had a hard time on the proper sizing
Tony,
Hey it's Terry from 3/1. I started watching your videos recently as I'm wearing a suit vice uniform. Hope all is well.
Just curious in this video your lapels look different. I've not seen that before...is it common?
Cheers!
I really enjoyed this video and found it helpful.
James Butler thanks!
+James Butler Me too.
as long as possible
@DBrownofdc Thank you!
Very good video. The only suggestion I would offer is for you to show some pictures of the different types of overcoats you where talking about.
Does it really need to have at least 4-5" clearance above your feet? For both men and women? Or is that more forgiving for women's style?
If the overcoat has a breast pocket, how much does that affect what should be considered an acceptable length?
Is it ok to wear a trench coat below the knees if you are short person.
I just got a coat that fits in the arms and chest, but it is the one that supposed to fit a little above the knee, but I'm only 172cm (5 foot 8) in height, and it just falls in the center of my knees - leave it or return it? There isn't much to cut off by tailor, because then the button proportions would not look good, and I doubt they could close the button holes and move them...
If you live in Chicago or the N. East ( Wash DC, NYC, Boston, etc) a longer coat will protect you more fully against the cold...
How do i k ow if the overcoat fits on top of my suit jacket, i cnat realy see if its tight there, does a change in the suit jacket lapel show its tight?
Nebojsa Jovanovic great to hear from you. this article should help: www.realmenrealstyle.com/how-buy-overcoat-guide-stylish-winter-clothing-men-video/
Hi! Why is the lapel of the jacket you are wearing here, different on one side? Just curious!
It's made to be able to close up.
I want the trench coat mafia style where can I find it?
Antonio is a custom clothier so he has his own clothes made. He mentions his overcoat is a custom made one to fit his body. IN ADDITION :D he has another video where he talks about how to buy an overcoat and in that one we see his overcoat (well the top half).
@IAhmed2010 Yes, but it is nice talk isn't it:)
Any time you see the smartest dressed men in old Hollywood movies, like Cary Grant for example, you never see them in flimsy, short overcoats. They always wore heavy, tweeds etc. below the knees. About half way between the ankles and the knees is the best length if you’re commuting, and even if you’re getting in and out of cars or taxis, what’s a little bit of effort to gather that lovely tweed or cashmere etc. in?
URGENT QUESTION! Ive always been told for mens trench coats that the "storm flap" is supposed to be on the right side of the coat. I have seen several mens trench coats including this one that i can get a great deal on from Zara which has it on the left side, but its a mens trench coat. I keep hearing people say that it HAS to be on the right side. Any help?? I really want this coat im looking at its very nice and im getting a great deal on it too.
xunit94 We see it on the right side for men and on the left side for women as the jacket buttons up in opposite ways for the different genders.

Show pictures or where to buy them
I'm only 5'5, so an xtra small is always my perfect size.
Great video. So at what age did you start dressing well, Antonio?

great question
I am looking for a long overcoat that falls below the knees, I read that the Winchester single breasted suits best, the inspiration comes from Peaky blinders. For my three piece suits I have a size 36 vest/waistcoat. does that mean I need the same size overcoat?
did you ever get one? i am considering one myself
how to cut length of coat
I am 5"9" and I have been told that my current overcoat makes me look smaller(bottom of my overcoat comes 1 inch below my index fingertip).I am going to buy a new one and how long should my overcoat be in order to make me look taller?And will a peacoat be better for me?
Thanks in advance,
I’m 5’9” I have a imported cashmere OC that was my dads . It’s old and it has a ton of sentimental value to me .It fits me well except there was a lot of room that I had tailored out they repaired the lining as well . This coat comes just below my knee and I love it . It’s one of my favorite coats
Im thinking of getting a trench coat..im 5'4 150lbs is a 38 regular or medium works for me..anyone?
I got an overcoat from Zara which goes right above my ankle and sleeve stops at my knuckles. Is that too long? Shoulder and waist fits very well.
+Hyan Lee The shorter length, the better. I would say 4 inches above the knee :)
What if it is exactly knee lenght, but everything else is perfect?
How do we find coats that are below the knee in length? I have searched everywhere, including Burberry. No one seem to have them.
Anyone got any shops?
asos has oversized over coats
Not one of them are below knee
llIH i just brought one this month. Its literally called oversized over coat, it could have sold out though.
Brooks Brothers, Macys, or go custom
you may not like this but you can get a nice long overcoat on ebay, new overcoat, people make them and sell on ebay , I paid around £100 its well below my knee and nice fit
Do you have a video on peacoats?
Nolan Alvarino thanks for the suggestion - will add that to the queue list - for the mean time, you can also read this article: www.realmenrealstyle.com/winter-outerwear-stylish-men/
Where can you buy these coats that go below the knee, you know that reaches halfway to the shins. They're so hard to find, all I found were coats that are above the knee which I don't like that style.
did you ever find one?
The saddest thing is that Antonio talks as if you'll buy one coat and that'll be all your needs sorted forever; it's a shame that retailers don't put this thought into their clothing - Everything these days is made cheap and made disposable.
I always shop vintage.
I'm in high-school and these videos do a great job of teaching a young man how to dress. Thanks.
hi I want to be as sharp as I can be on my wedding.. and Im planning to wear a trench coat any, my theme was military inspired so I want to be like WWII russian officer any comments/suggestions? thanks

How tall are you?
I'm having trouble finding a nice long overcoat.
Which overcoat can make you look taller long or short overcoat? What's the difference with a topcoat? I'm 5'8 medium built I'm trying to decide whether to cut my polish wool military coat shorter above the knee, is it 3 inches above? Because it's a little heavy and hate it getting snag by the car door. Thank you.
What's wrong with your left lapel?
+Matt Lang There's nothing wrong with it. www.realmenrealstyle.com/jacket-lapel-styles-transcript/
So, why don't they look the same?
Definitely something going on with the notch.
im about 5'10 5'11 so mid thigh or knee height is good for me
Knee height, try a 42" length
Modern long coats leave my legs freezing, modern long coats aren't long coats, had to go bespoke to get a classical length.
I’m not very tall, I have slightly shorter legs and long overcoats look just ridiculously on me. Maybe I didn’t find one that fits, though.
You could try an online tailor. That way, you could tell them the exact length you want it. A couple of inches below the knee would look fine. I’m only 5’6” and I find short coats are no good at keeping out the rain and cold. As long as the shoulders and arms fit, it will look great. The sleeves of an overcoat btw, should come down to the knuckle of your thumb that is nearest to your wrist, unlike the shorter sleeves of a suit coat.
What's going on with your uneven lapel
What about shorter guys? I am 5'4 and feel like longer overcoats swallow me whole.
I want it to be long
Tip: You cant hide a shotgun under a short overcoat ....
You made a video about overcoats and not ones did exhibit one, way to go mate!👎
This is an OLD video
Poor fitting suit around your shoulders. Why are you giving advice?
