Is 100% wool warm enough for winter?

Wool is a strong insulator and blocks wind better than most blends, but a 48-inch single-layer coat is best over a sweater or suit in moderate cold. In deep freezes or wet snow, a lined or insulated coat will keep you warmer.

How long is a 48-inch overcoat?

On most men it falls around the knee or just below it, long enough to cover a suit jacket. Shorter men may find it reaches mid-calf, so check the length against a coat you already own.

What is it best worn with?

It is a dress coat, so it pairs best with a suit, dress trousers and leather shoes. Worn over jeans and sneakers the long, formal cut looks out of place.

How should I care for a pure wool overcoat?

Dry clean it sparingly and brush it after wear to lift dust. Hang it on a wide shoulder-shaped hanger and let it air out between wears rather than washing it at home.

Does it work as a topcoat over a suit?

Yes. The three-button front and notch lapel are cut for tailoring, and the long body keeps the suit jacket covered. Check that the shoulders leave room for a jacket underneath.
