Collection: Men's Double Breasted Overcoats
Double breasted overcoats for men
A double breasted overcoat has a wide, overlapping front with two rows of buttons. That overlap puts two layers of cloth across your chest, which makes it warmer than a single breasted coat and gives it a stronger, more formal look. It is the coat for the coldest days and the occasions where you want to look properly dressed.
Our wool coats are cut from a 70% wool, 25% polyester, 5% cashmere blend and fully lined in satin. Prices are £150 to £160 with free tracked UK delivery.

Is double breasted right for you?
Double breasted coats suit most builds, but they look best buttoned up, so they work well if you like a neat, structured shape. They are a great choice for broad or tall men, and for anyone who feels the cold. If you want a coat that you can wear open most of the time, or one that sits flatter over a suit, a single breasted overcoat is easier. The full comparison is in single breasted vs double breasted, and there are styling tips in how to wear a double breasted overcoat.
Sizing, delivery and returns
Because double breasted coats are worn buttoned, getting the chest right matters more. Check our size guide before you order. UK delivery is free and tracked and usually takes 2 to 3 days, with next day delivery if you order before 1pm. US orders ship free from our US warehouse in 5 to 7 days. You have 30 days to return a coat unworn with the tags on.
Questions we get asked
Is a double breasted overcoat warmer?
Yes. The overlapping front gives you two layers of cloth across the chest, so it keeps more wind out than a single breasted coat in the same cloth.
Should a double breasted coat be worn buttoned?
Usually, yes. It is designed to be buttoned and looks its best that way. Worn open, the extra fabric at the front can flap about.
What is the difference between a greatcoat and a double breasted overcoat?
A greatcoat is a type of double breasted overcoat with a military background. It is usually heavier and longer, with a bolder look. Read more in what is a greatcoat.
