The Best Overcoat to Take You From Black-Tie to Weekend Brunch

One piece that often gets overlooked in building a solid wardrobe is a formal overcoat. But if you’re going to have just one—it needs to be the perfect blend of style, function, and durability. This coat is exactly that.

Our heavenly herringbone topcoat is the perfect balance of sleek formality and casual style. And yes- it’s heavenly.

It’s not just a coat—it’s the coat. One that you’ll wear for years. Crafted from a beautifully textured herringbone, you get the perfect balance of warmth, durability, and sophistication—this classic single-breasted topcoat is exactly what your closet needs.

It’s a 19.5oz weight which means it’s substantial—like, it actually keeps you warm substantial. The wool blend keeps you cozy without adding any bulk and it’s durable enough to withstand years of use. Made in Biella, Italy, the fabric has a classic herringbone pattern that adds a subtle layer of texture elevating this topcoat from a basic to something a little extra special.

Albert’s getting married in the winter, and he needed an outerwear piece that could handle the cold while still allowing him to look sharp for his big day. His wardrobe is about more than just one event—it’s about longevity and flexibility. He needed a coat that would work with his tuxedo for formal occasions but also serve him well when he throws on a suit or sport coat for business meetings and dinners.

This overcoat was a perfect fit. The black and gold tones give it a sophisticated look that leans formal, but the textured herringbone fabric gives it just enough character to be worn more casually. It’s a classic topcoat design with a notch lapel and a two-button front. The mid-thigh length is ideal—not too long, but long enough to offer warmth and coverage without overwhelming the rest of his outfit. 

We tailored it to give Albert just the right amount of room to comfortably layer over his tuxedo or a full suit, but it’s slim enough that he can throw it on over a sweater or even a t-shirt and still look sharp. 

A well-tailored coat can effortlessly upgrade any outfit. There’s a reason the topcoat has been a staple in men’s wardrobes for generations—it’s a timeless piece that pairs with everything. You can even throw it over sweats and a hoodie, and suddenly you’re that person who looks put-together on the way to a workout.

“It somehow looks better with sweats than it does [with] work attire,” one five star reviewer shared on trustpilot, noting that he’s worn his overcoat “almost everyday this past winter.” Another says, Articles of Style, is the “only way to buy a quality, well fitting bespoke piece”.

Quality always trumps quantity. If you want to build a wardrobe that lasts, choosing pieces that are both versatile and made with exceptional craftsmanship is non-negotiable. Our heavenly herringbone topcoat is made from a high-quality fabric that not only looks and feels luxurious but also holds up to the wear and tear of daily life. The Italian-made fabric from Biella brings with it a legacy of textile excellence.

If you’re going to own one formal overcoat, make it this one. It’s got the style, the warmth, and the versatility to become your favorite piece of outerwear. This coat will do more than just keep you warm—it will elevate your entire wardrobe.
