Which is better for winter?

The London Fog Coventry. It is a medium-weight, insulated wool-blend overcoat built for cold weather. The Polo Oxford is a cotton shirt with light warmth and works best layered under a coat.

Both are durable if cared for properly. The wool-blend overcoat needs dry cleaning and holds shape over many seasons. The cotton Oxford is machine washable but can fade and wrinkle with heavy washing.

Is the overcoat worth the extra money?

At $129.49 at Macy's as of November 3, 2026, it is a fair price for a lined wool-blend coat, and it hit $83.00 on November 2. No price was given for the Oxford, so a direct value comparison is not possible.

Does the overcoat run large?

Yes. Buyers report it runs large and many sized down. It has a relaxed fit, so consider one size smaller than your usual.

Does the Oxford shirt run small?

Buyers disagree. Some say it is true to size, while others find it runs small. The cut has a lower armhole and fuller sleeve, so check the size chart before ordering.

Can I wear the Oxford shirt under the overcoat?

Yes. The button-down collar and cotton fabric layer well under the overcoat for work or weekends. The overcoat's relaxed cut leaves room for a shirt underneath.
