I've been wearing overcoats casually for years, not only do I like the look, but judging from the compliments I get, so do others. I've three for formal wear with suits and four more casual ones for over a sweater, vest, or shirt. I agree that camel and navy are easy neutral colors, but I have a light gray lightweight overcoat that goes with about everything. Some I've had twenty years or more and still look contemporary. Keep up the good work guys.
@@jamesmontoban1338 I do, the more formal ones are a size up from my normal jacket size so to fit more comfortably, the “everyday” ones are in my regular size, as I’ll wear them with just a sweater, vest, or shirt under them.
@@stephen1991 man, thanks for the info Definitely will take that into consideration. I'm new to wearing overcoat but I love the look. I'll probably have to get 2 sizes of the same overcoats, one size up for suits and one for casual wear.
it's really awesome when the two of you come together to shoot the video. reminds me of the old gents lounge. i understand that blake has other priorities so george runs the channel more from his end, but definitely more pleasing to watch you both together. cheers!
Hi guys, great video My overcoat arrived and i sized down. When I put it on its slightly too small for me as it won’t close shut. Is that an issue in your opinion? It looks good with a scarf like you wore in this video. Does the overcoat have be able to close though in your opinion pls. Thanks
Hi ....I always get confuse while buying long coat since I prefer a fitted clothes even a coat .what all I should keep in mind .Does it have any disparity between man &women
What do you think about camel overcoats with hoodies? do they fit together?
4 ปีที่แล้ว
yes its actually a nice street look if played nice. Just avoid thick hoodies, opt for something light and make sure the shoes match (converse, vans etc)
I really love overcoats . When summer is turning into fall I really look forward to bring out the coats. I bought a camel coat on sale and a pattern charcoal colored coat a size down. Love them both
I'm short but I'm still gonna wear a trench man, especially when it's cold or rains. It fits slightly above the knee, and has all flaps you can imagine, storm break on the back and stuff. Good coat, not water proof but it works
How do you sit down with an overcoat? I'm a college student and I'm not sure if I should be sitting down while wearing the coat or if I should take it off first
Unlike blazer which you shouldn't remove unless you absolutely have to (you should only unbutton it) it's best to drape your overcoat over the back of the chair or simply ask where you can hang it.
I want that camel coat. Simple design, but so hard to find. I like the stitching on the collar, chest pocket. What material is that made out of? I can’t make out if that is wool.
Gent's Lounge 1:51 look at. Slow mo. Look at the arm. The shoulder material. The crease. The width of the sleeve at the wrist. The model the tailor used for that coat had orangutan arms.
Great vid guys! Can I wear this to college? (as in UK; Highschool) with a black back pack, but got; adidas letters on it? Or I've got hand pack same color same brand letters lol
What about a budget option of suits ....and looks to go with them ......? I’m in the uk ..and love trying to look stylish on a budget ....thanks for the great con tent guys ...keep it up ....
Im looking to buy an overcoat, but im thinking would it be good to wear it with designer sneakers such at the all black valentino rockrunner? Im trying to put together a few outfits...
Question: The formal overcoats that you gentleman showed from Indochino....do the same rules apply when purchasing those overcoats? Will the prices be lower if I wait to purchase at the end of season, or are Indochino. Prices the same all day everyday 24/7 365?
Guys! I am currently looking for an overcoat and I have a great question for you. I noticed that you never recommended black as a color. I notice on pintrest lots of the style guys use black (as well as your other recommendations). My question is, for streetwear/casual, doesn't black work better than navy? Shouldn't black be in your list? Think about it
Up to you. My wardrobe is very much navy grey and other neutrals. Black is great too. I just think a camel coat with an all black outfit would look better and for an expensive piece like an overcoat I want something that works the best for the rest of my wardrobe.
@@gentslounge I totally agree with your point of view here. Camel seems to work with everything, black- almost everything. I bought this navy one yesterday, but I don't like how it looks with black pants. So I think I will go with camel... or black. Lol. Anyways, thanks!!
Sure! It can add a fun pop to the look but I wouldn’t double up if you’re wearing a suit underneath your overcoat and already have a pocket square in the suit,
I have climate control, so I tend to just lounge around in some Woolen pants I had made with an elasticated waistband, and a t shirt. Going out for a short trip when it's really cold is the perfect time to use an overcoat for me since it's a single layer I can don and shed quickly and that will keep me warm. I hate having to dress up ajd down going in and out of the house. I used to do the same with a parka, but realized this was better. I'd recommend anyone in a cold area to get a bridge coat. It's literally just a long peacoat. I had one made of a 28oz wool fabric in Hong Kong, but schott makes one as well. Probably more expensive, but it's the most vwesitile winter piece I have. I got mine in black just to ease marching.
Just got one from JCREW yesterday for $100 with all my discount I got the camel color fits like a dream thanks guys! I have a multi color one from polo I’ve had for 3 yrs never worn 🤦🏽♂️
You’re confused between an overcoat and a suit. Overcoats are supposed to be an outer cover, unlike suits that come right after the long sleeve shirt. Therefore there should be enough space in its arms so when you’re wearing suits, it won’t be squeezing tight. Otherwise it doesn’t serve the purpose. But you seem to be showing what look like a slimfit overcoat here. It’s your taste anyway, but a slimfit overcoat looks a bit odd. Reminds me of a limousine Ferrari 360 modena (basically a sports car stretched to be a limousine) I saw one time.
My 5 year old watched this with me and she said about Blake that he, “is a really good looking boy.” Don’t know if that means she can pick out good style or likes older men already 🤦🏽♂️
This might be a late reply but i also live in the Philippines, 5'10 skinny guy and have a camel overcoat that is just above my knees and a oversized black overcoat 3 inches below the knee, and for me the best option for wearing an overcoat is between months of October to February where typically a rainy and colder season of our country so dont hesitate buying one just wear it on the appropriate time and weather.
Gent's Lounge that’s the thing. They don’t make these things short enough that they’d fall above my knees. At least none that I’ve been able to find. 😞
@@gentslounge Thanks but I mean where does the tail of the coat go? Do you put it under your butt and sit on top of it? Or do you move it to the side so you're not sitting on the coat? Love your videos btw, would be great to see a video on how to sit with an overcoat
I've been wearing overcoats casually for years, not only do I like the look, but judging from the compliments I get, so do others.

Do you size down for the overcoats that you wear casually as well?

Watching this vid make me want an overcoat. Both coats look fire
You’ll have it for a long time!

i understand that blake has other priorities so george runs the channel more from his end, but definitely more pleasing to watch you both together. cheers!
so, What is a Coat then ?
I have the stiff formal kind, but I love the casual look. I'm definitely going to be looking for one on winter clearance.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
I took his advice on sizing down, and it worked out perfectly. Thank you.
You guys have a great vibe, really appreciate your videos.
Thank you!

how would you style down a black coat?
I just bought my first overcoat and planning on buying a new one every year for at least 5 years
I have overcoat navy color. I am not fit and I brown what do you suggest as a shirt or something to wear ?
Have a charcoal gray driver over coat already, but that Camo color is fire! Another great video, thanks guys.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I agree with the more fitted advice, but i went with baggy so that I can wear with thicker hoodies, im putting comfort first
Whatever works! Baggy is more popular right now anyway.
Hi ....I always get confuse while buying long coat since I prefer a fitted clothes even a coat .what all I should keep in mind .Does it have any disparity between man &women
Blake, you did a very good job in this video.
Can you wear an overcoat in summer ?

yes

Hey man you think a black coat match with black timberland boots?
What are your thoughts on overcoats with baggie streetwear jeans??
Great video, I love my classic overcoat but I really want to get one which is also water resistant (hate the puffer look), any recommendations?
What color of overcoat would you suggest for someone who always wears black suits and mostly black and gray sweaters and pants?
2:01 What's the name of those sneakers? They're fresh!
I'm short but I'm still gonna wear a trench man, especially when it's cold or rains. It fits slightly above the knee, and has all flaps you can imagine, storm break on the back and stuff. Good coat, not water proof but it works
Same, im short and bought a coat that will reach my knee
If you feel good in it that’s all that matters.
I'm 5'10 in shoes, can i wear a db overcoat?
Hi there.. Was wondering can you dress down well fitted..bouble breasted Light grey or black as well?
How do you sit down with an overcoat? I'm a college student and I'm not sure if I should be sitting down while wearing the coat or if I should take it off first

Where can I get an overcoat for shorter men I'm 5'6
Hope you both travel somewhere snowy for winter content. My coat is like Blakes btw. But mine is better.
Lol why is it better?
Gent's Lounge 1:51 look at. Slow mo. Look at the arm. The shoulder material. The crease. The width of the sleeve at the wrist. The model the tailor used for that coat had orangutan arms.
Gent's Lounge and just 3 buttons?
I've just gotten an East German Greatcoat that is grey, and very long. I'm trying to find a way to make it casual but it's not going too well 🤣
Dark denim and some good boots would be a good place to start.
I have a long over coat, what's your take on that,dark grey, I like it
Great Video guys, quick question. What would you advise on the length of the coat. Above the knee or upto the knee on a camel coat?
Above will make you look taller. Below will keep you warmer.
Can someone answer ? can i wear a overcoat like that in the spring , summer ? i mean it would be around 18-22 celsius degrees
Spring maybe. Summer unlikely.
What brand is the camel one
Digging it gents. Love my camel overcoat over a full black outfit. Black jeans, black sweater, black leather chelseas.
Perfect
Great vid guys! Can I wear this to college? (as in UK; Highschool) with a black back pack, but got; adidas letters on it? Or I've got hand pack same color same brand letters lol

We miss it too
Hi, would you suggest sizing down for the blue theory coat as well? thanks
Im looking to buy an overcoat, but im thinking would it be good to wear it with designer sneakers such at the all black valentino rockrunner?
Im trying to put together a few outfits...
We would agree!
@@gentslounge the carmel overcoat where can I purchase it..what brand is it ?
Thanks for the tips guys. Appreciate the info. Keep up the good work.
Theory outlet has sales for overcoats?
They do
Question: The formal overcoats that you gentleman showed from Indochino....do the same rules apply when purchasing those overcoats? Will the prices be lower if I wait to purchase at the end of season, or are Indochino. Prices the same all day everyday 24/7 365?
Those are actually on sale now!
Are machine washable overcoats a thing? I would love to find one.
Haven't seen one but haven't really been looking.
What is the length of the overcoat for a man thats 5'10. Past the knee above the knee. What do you guys think?
Above the knee for sure.

Where did Blake get those gold-framed glasses?
Transitions Lenses
Ever consider a pocket square in your overcoat? Why/why not?
Sure! It can add a fun pop to the look but I wouldn’t double up if you’re wearing a suit underneath your overcoat and already have a pocket square in the suit,
I love your style guys and great content. you look good
Thank you!
very refreshing. and helps me gift-give to the gentlemen
Are u suppose to sit on your overcoat???

I love, love, LOVE overcoats my fourth one just came in today now I have a camel, dark blue, black and red
Where did you get the red one?!!

That’s awesome!
Thanks for making this cool video!
Glad you liked it!
Appreciate how you got them on sale! especially Blake because I feel like I can never afford the stuff he’s wearing! 😆
EBay is your friend!
The Mensch on Menswear don’t be shy to go into a thrift store you might be surprised what you find
Outlets and after season sales are the best!

What do you guys think about shorter guys wearing these coats?
Just make sure they don’t go past your knee and fit properly.
Great video guys, these are all great tips!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
My camel coat is my least favorite coat. I prefer my ruby one or blue one
Great vid👌
Ur looks killed it
Thank you!
Just bought a coat for winter
👍🏼👍🏼
it was very informative
A coat can elevate your style.
a light bomber is must.
a waterproof jacket is a must
A coat is neccesery
I like it l love rose gold and black jewellery
great topic!
Thank you!

wearing an overcoat in 80 degrees weather? no thanks. over here where i live it's still around 66 degrees and i feel hot in my overcoat

Everything is too tight. You need some room for your suit, thick sweaters.
