The Overcoat Care Guide

We designed the Overcoat so that you can alter it to your preferred length. This will most likely require a quick trip to a trusted tailor unless you’re a real whizz with a needle and thread...

What have you got to play with?

• We’ve built in enough fabric for you to lengthen the Overcoat by 2cm (just under 1”), the same goes for the sleeves.
• Thinking of shortcuts? You can trim 2.5cm (1”) off the length of the body and the sleeves without hitting the buttons.

Given your Overcoat’s going to be looking after you through thick and thin, facing down the storms and sharing the thrills and spills with you, the only way to go with washing is to let the pros get involved. Off to the dry cleaners when it’s time for a freshen-up.

We’d go as far as to suggest an annual visit to the cleaners, ideally once the coldest months have passed, so it’s ready for action next time around.

Friendly tip: Remember to check your clothes when you pick them up from the dry cleaners. That way if you spot any damage you can let them know before you step out of the door. Once you’ve left the building they’re much less likely to take responsibility for any scrapes and tears that cropped up in the wash.

Remember to take your coat off from time to time. We know it's comfortable and all, but it does need a break to keep it looking at its best.

After a long day, pop your Overcoat back on a properly-sized hanger so it keeps its shape.

When you’re ready to put it away for the summer store your Overcoat in a garment bag with a packet of moth repellent. They’re both easy finds and shouldn’t cost more than a fiver.

Don’t forget the moth repellent, wool this good is like a Michelin-starred feast for moths.

That’s it from us.
