I think they're increasingly popular with young men. Thoughts?
>>18351143would love to wear them, however, i'm 5'5''
I saw a black guy trying to ear one a few years ago but he was under 6' so unfortunately he looked like he was playing house while wearing daddy's coat.I think if you got it hemmed above the knee it would work in a pinch.Do we think brosnan looks a touch silly here?
>>18351143i own one that looks almost exactly like that but in green. it is my walking around at night sad coat. i may be sad but i look cool.
>>183512372 ""fixable"" issues for short people with long coats:1 most shorter people aren't actually slender, so the long coat makes them look really roundedsolution is being very thin, but you can't do that, if your natural frame isn't thin2 coats are rarely decently tailored for short people, so even if you''re thin, shoulders of coats will be too large, making you appear even more rounded.Coats always used to look baggy on me, because they weren't built for my frame, but getting them tailored changed everythingTLDR, you can wear coats if ur short, but you must have a thin frame, and get something reaaaally well tailored, pretty much something custom made.
im 5'7.5"always wore short jacketspulled the trigger and got an overcoat that reaches below my kneesit makes me feeel so badassif you're short literally just get a healthy bmi and rock these coats- they're great
>>18351267Shoulders are fine and dandy but what about length if one has a longer torso than legs.
>>18351237>>18351267Overcoat aren't for manlets. Stick to puffers, hoodies, and chore coats.
>>18351259>I saw a black guyYou sure about that? Blacks don't wear overcoats.
>>18351557counterargument:
>>18351143Just bought another one for myself last friday. Can't wait for it to arrive. Fuck yall with that plastic clothes shit.
>>18351143I'm still waiting for the day when Frock Coats become a thing again. They might be formal, but there's no reason for them to be as rare as they are.
>>18351143I like overcoats they are cool and practical. They fit a more formal look and I'm not their yet so I'm not going to get one for a bit
>>18351754they won'tsadly
>>18351143I have a bunch of over coats but haven't been able to wear them because it's been so hot this winter
>>18351558Not that anon but you are so wrong, go outside dude. Blacks are by far the most common wearers of overcoats where i live. They love dramatic coats.
>>18351558I'm black and I have like 10 overcoats, a few older than me
>>18351143these look like they'd get in the way of everything
I'm determined to make overcoat + hoodie look good for a white guy, but its difficult if done badlyToo much cringe out there of tryhards trying to be like like drake circa 2017, and its terribleI just want the cozy
>>18353762hoodies aren't even that comfy.It's wool sweater or nothing kiddo.
>>18353710Which is why traditionally places had places to put your coat. You wore the bigass coat while walking in the cold to places, then you took it off once you got in a warm building.
>>18354670are there ones that can be tucked up for work and stuff
>>18353710>>18354670We live in an era where people no longer know what coat racks are....
>>18354612>hoodies aren't even that comfy.What's your job?
>>18351260I wish I were you.
>>18354677Yes. Back in WWI, the trench coats used by the French were designed so that you could fold back the front part up and back, and button it to the sides to free up your legs for easier movement.
>>18351237I'm 5'4 and wear overcoats all the time. My tip is, always go for a small-midsized lapel, because I've found while larger lapels are more stylish, they make your shoulders look much smaller, along with your neck. Sometimes I ignore this rule, because large lapels are cool, but still.As >>18351260said, you really do have to be thin, my bmi is considered "severely underweight,' and sometimes I still look a little tubby, especially with 5+ layers underneath the overcoat. Plus, I did get mine tailored but if you're getting a 250–400-dollar overcoat, you may as well spend 100-200 on tailoring.
>>18351143I only see women wearing them.
>>18351143I sincerely have no idea where you find these anymore or for that matter if they're even produced in anywhere near the same volume as they were several decades ago (at least within the US). I've scoured most of the major fashion retailers here and designer houses, and it's kinda shocking how sparse the selection of overcoats are throughout all of them. Honestly I'm at the point where I'm starting to think the most efficient way to find one with character nowadays is by finding them vintage / thrift shopping
>>18358697I got mine at a suit store in a mall, you can also find 1-2 option at men's warehouse, but I'd honestly recommend looking online if you know your measurements
>>18358697Vintage ones will be 1000% higher quality, even cheap union made ones because they were actually utilitarian garments not "statement pieces" like they are now1950s deparment store clothes >>> average tailored stiff now
>>18354689CEO at a multinational unlike your woke piece of shit homeless dude "model" lmfao
>>18360048CEO's wear hoodies now bro get realThat you've never heard of "quiet luxury" says a lot
no joke recently got one and realized how much of it fits my stylegives me a confidence boost
