Is it actually comfortable?
Generous, not baggy
Yes, it is. We've gone for a simple straight cut and soft, natural shoulders that won't have you looking like a cardboard box on legs. A single rear vent allows for a long stride and makes sitting more comfortable. It's also 6cm longer than the previous version for a longer silhouette, but if you measure under 170cm, go down a size. For everyone else, your usual size will do the business.

Why's it such a smart investment?
Built to last, designed for legacy
100% dense Australian virgin wool, woven in Italy, ultra-tough buttons: every detail's up to the task. And yes, we've put it through the wringer — the lab results speak for themselves:
- Maximum resistance to pilling.
- A fit that keeps its shape, clean after clean, year after year.
This is the real deal – in ten years' time, it'll have that noble patina only proper wool coats develop. You're about to invest in a future heirloom.
How important is this item to the Asphalte range?
Good things take time
8. That's how many versions we've gone through before landing on the new Overcoat. Does it mean we missed the mark seven times? Not quite. It means we actually listen – and refine, relentlessly. Every tweak is thanks to your feedback. That's why version number eight comes with a snap-closure inside pocket, strengthened pocket linings, and is a little bit longer. A bit of you's built into each version. This one? Feels like we're dangerously close to nailing it. So, cheers for that.
How does preordering work?
Basically, it means you buy the garment before it’s produced. By pre‑ordering, you’re the one launching the production.
With this system, we only produce what’s sold, so we avoid overproduction and can offer you an excellent quality‑price ratio.
