Tailoring Times: The Coat

The coat is an essential item of any tailoring fans’ wardrobe. Perhaps a herculean fit of sartorial excellence, the coat defines the talent of the tailor.

Dolce&Gabbana are renown for their tailoring expertise and in the Fall Winter Collection it really came to the fore. The look was based on tailoring and the coat is the undisputed monarch of the season and the runway.

White shirt, dark tie and maybe a hat, like this flat cap finish off the look. Why not play with print and match your coat to your suit with a Prince of Wales check.

Tailored, elegant and with luxurious fur on the collar, which sensually brushes on your check, its perfect to face those cold morning or just when you need an opulent cuddle.
