Discover Timeless Luxury: The Black Wool Cashmere Long Overcoat by The Platinum Tailor

A black wool overcoat with a long cut is about as close to a timeless piece of men's clothing as exists. It works for a funeral, a wedding, a city commute, an evening out. It works over a suit, over a roll-neck, over a shirt. It doesn't date because it was never particularly of a moment to begin with.

Why Long

A coat that falls below the knee creates a different silhouette to a shorter one. It lengthens the line of the body and reads as formal without being fussy. The 46-inch length sits at or just below the knee on most men, which is the traditional and most versatile overcoat length.

How to Wear It

Over a suit: the most natural use. The coat extends the line of the suit without covering it. Keep it buttoned for formal occasions, open for smart casual.

Over a roll-neck: a dark roll-neck under a long black overcoat is clean and considered. Smart without being formal.

With dark jeans: the long overcoat over dark slim jeans and a leather boot is a strong everyday look. The formality of the coat and the ease of the jeans work against each other in the right way.
