What should men look for when buying a designer coat?

1. The cut

Designer coats for men come in a slim fit and a regular fit. Depending on which cut you prefer, you should choose your model accordingly. Note that a slim fit silhouette is more figure-hugging, while a regular fit is wider at the shoulders, waist and chest.

2. The fastening

A men's designer coat may have a button placket and/or a zip. Wool coats often have single or double button plackets, which may be partially concealed by the fabric. Caban coats always have a double-breasted placket.

3. The pockets

The different types of pockets on designer coats for men not only offer plenty of storage space, but are also ideal for keeping hands warm in freezing temperatures. These include chest, billet or hip pockets, some with flaps, slanted front or welt pockets and inside pockets.

4. The collar

Depending on the design of the men's designer coats, the collar can be fitted with a zip or buttons. In our BRAUN Hamburg online shop you can choose between lapel collars, turn-down collars and stand-up collars.

5. The colours

The classic colours designer coats for men are black, navy and various shades of brown and grey. Natural colours such as camel, olive and taupe are also available.

6. The materials

Men's coats are made from microfibres in a variety of fabrics and materials including wool, virgin wool, cashmere, cotton, silk, camel hair and blends. The various designers use the highest quality fabrics to create a durable garment that guarantees a high level of comfort: whether simple, elegant or sporty.

7. The lining

There are both long coats for men and short models, which can be half lined, fully lined or unlined. The lining of warm winter coats for men is made of down or synthetic fibres.

8. Further details

Another feature of a designer coat for men can be a hood, which is often removable. A centre back slit and cuffs are other details that often characterise the garment. It may also have a buttoned storm flap, a press stud or a snow flap. The coat may also be water-repellent.
