Essential Forms: The Overcoat
Words ISOLDE
Essential Forms is a seasonal series on the garments that form a wardrobe’s foundation. Each article examines construction methods, quality indicators, and the details that distinguish lasting craftsmanship. Whether you’re acquiring a piece for the first time or wish to understand what you already own with greater clarity, these guides offer practical knowledge for any future decision—this season or several years from now.
Fair warning: this article is comprehensive, occasionally to the point of excess. When the goal is understanding rather than quick tips, brevity becomes a limitation. We’d rather cover everything once than leave you with questions.
