How Should An Overcoat or Peacoat Fit? - Men's Clothing Fit Guide - Topcoat

About this video

Weston teaches men how overcoats and peacoats should fit, covering key areas including shoulders, sleeves, body fit, and length. She emphasizes the importance of wearing appropriate layers underneath when trying on each coat type and provides specific guidelines for proper proportions and measurements.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues shoulder seams should align with your natural shoulder line, as this is difficult and costly for tailors to alter
• Weston recommends sleeves should lightly touch the top of your hand when your wrists are bent, covering any layers underneath
• Weston specifies overcoats should end just above the knee, while peacoats should end at mid to lower crotch for proper proportions
• Weston advises wearing a suit jacket or blazer underneath when trying on overcoats, but avoid these layers when trying on peacoats
