Men's Overcoats - A Tour of My Winter Coat Collection & Wardrobe

About this video

The Gazette team showcases their extensive overcoat collection of nearly 20 pieces, explaining their preference for vintage overcoats over modern options and demonstrating how to coordinate them with gloves and scarves. The team discusses the differences between various overcoat styles—including trench coats, topcoats, business overcoats, casual overcoats, fur coats, and evening wear—detailing the specific characteristics, construction, and accessory pairings for each piece.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team prefers vintage overcoats because modern options often lack interesting colors and patterns, use overly light fabrics, and cost significantly more, while vintage pieces offer superior weight and warmth at a fraction of the price
• Different overcoat styles require distinct accessory approaches: business overcoats pair well with subtle patterns and traditional colors, while casual overcoats in bold patterns benefit from solid-colored gloves and scarves to avoid visual clashing
• Double-breasted overcoats provide superior warmth due to double layers of fabric over the torso, and heavy wool fabrics (10+ pounds) outperform modern down jackets in cold weather protection
• The Gazette team recommends coordinating overcoat accessories by using contrasting colors and avoiding black scarves with most overcoats, and they suggest suede gloves, driving gloves, and cashmere scarves as quality pairing options
