Crombie Overcoats for Men

Covering Up in Style with a Crombie Overcoat

Since 1805, Crombie has been creating coats for men, and the name has grown synonymous with quality wear. It is famous for luxury wool coats that are designed in traditional styles. Are you a double-breasted kind of person or do you want a knee-length coat? Find your preferred Crombie overcoat on eBay.

Which materials does Crombie use for its overcoats?The style, durability, and ability of an overcoat to keep the wearer warm will depend on the fabric. Crombie makes the shells of its coats using different fabrics to create a range of outerwear. Some of these include:

• Tweed: The woollen fabric has a rough but flexible texture and looks homespun. Tweed is available in many colours and is usually woven in a herringbone, twill, or plain design. It is suitable for overcoats because it is warm.
• Wool: It is the most common choice for winter overcoats due to its heavy nature. Wool is dyed to create colour variations. The material is sometimes blended with other fabrics to make it lighter and more durable.
• Cashmere: The material is finer than regular wool, which is why Crombie uses it for luxury overcoats. It offers warmth, as well, during the cold season.

How should a Crombie overcoat fit?

The correct fit should not be tight; there should be room for the wearer to move comfortably. Account for all the underclothes that you have to wear with the coat. The seams of the shoulders must end where your shoulders end (when wearing a suit jacket). For the sleeves, make sure that the cuff touches your skin when you bend your wrist. Whether it's a single- or double-breasted coat, it should not be too tight around the midsection.

What is the difference between a Crombie peacoat and an overcoat?

Overcoats and peacoats are suited for different occasions, so it helps to get the distinction right. An overcoat is the kind that you wear over a suit. For this reason, it must be large enough to go over all the clothes underneath and also provide a good fit. The majority of overcoats are single-breasted, but double-breasted options are available as well. Crombie overcoats vary lengthwise with some reaching past the knees. Overcoats are made for harsh weather and are, therefore, ideal for winter. On the other hand, a peacoat is shorter, usually reaching just below the waist. You can wear a Crombie peacoat with a shirt and tie but not with a suit jacket because of the length. Peacoats are double-breasted and suitable with either formal or casual wear.
