Coats for men

A high quality men's coat is the style giver in your outfit. Luckily, there's a coat to suit every season. The choice of material is not only a question of style, but also of function. And everything is possible, from weightless wind breakers to insulation suitable for polar conditions. Fine woollen yarn, lined parka and insulating down get you warm through the winter. The less warm alternatives are wool coats, leather coats and trenchoats. So which coat will be yours? Let us introduce the different types.

Wool coats

This elegant top coat should not be missing in any wardrobe. But not all wool coats are the same. Learn its three most common variations.

1. The classic wool or tweed coat is slightly fitted with a single button placket. It has a lapel or stand-up collar and slanted pockets in which you can warm your hands. It is the perfect companion to the suit and provides a skilful style break with sporty outfits.
2. The Caban jacket reveals its origins as a Navy jacket. The double-breasted coat is a hip-length short coat with wide lapels. It looks a bit more sporty than a tweed coat and goes great with chinos and cargo pants.
3. The duffle coat is distinctive because of its buttons with toggle closure. The duffle coat is also often available with a hood. This is perfect for sporty casual looks.

The trench coat

The fabric coat with lapel collar and belt was actually designed for the British Army. When you put it on, you quickly realise why it came in so handy in the field. A trench coat is pleasantly light and functional at the same time. Its tightly woven fabric –- usually poplin or gabardine –- keeps the wind out. And when it's really stormy, you just turn up your collar. Typical elements are also the straps on the shoulders and the large pockets, in which wallet, mobile phone and accessories fit in comfortably. The trench coat combines style and functionality in a unique way. This makes it a real must-have for everyday wear. Wear it closed with a belt or open and tie the belt behind your back. 

Anorak or parka?

An anorak is a plain jacket with a hood. Lightweight coats that look like long-cut anoraks are great for the transitional season. They keep out the wind and sometimes even rain. Visually, they impress with clear lines and a rather muted look. It does the job for a lot of street styles. 

A parka is made for winter. With this warmly lined anorak, sub-zero temperatures won't impress you much. By the way, the word parka in Russian means fur. This was originally used to insulate the jackets against the Siberian winter. Today, the lining is usually made with a synthetic fleece or synthetic fur. It still keeps you warm. Winter parkas in khaki, blue and black are neutral. They go with any casual look. Even though the face materials often look very similar, there are differences. Some materials are water-repellent or even waterproof. So you are prepared for any weather.

A coat for any weather

With the matching coat you are always perfectly dressed. It protects against wind and weather and also looks great. Whether it's a wool coat, trench coat or parka, each one makes a fashion statement. So why limit yourself? Actually, you need one of each kind to get through the year in style. Good thing you can get fashionable men's coats at Afound at reduced prices.

FAQs

Can I wash my coat? 

That depends on the material your coat is made of. Coats made of wool or tweed should be taken to the dry cleaner. Anoraks and down coats can sometimes be washed in the washing machine. Down jackets should definitely be put in the dryer afterwards so that the feathers dry completely. Tip: Put a tennis ball in the drum to prevent lumps. In any case, follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing and cleaning!

Why is my coat fuzzy?

Wool coats sometimes fluff. When you move, there is friction. Fibres come loose and form small clumps. This happens especially often where the sleeves rub against the body. But don't worry, you can get rid of those pesky lumps with a lint remover or a razor. Run the razor or lint remover over the fabric without applying pressure. This gently separates the lint. You can then just shake them off or run a lint roller over the fabric again to collect them. 

How many buttons do I fasten on my coat?

For the jacket, the rule is to close all but the bottom button. With the coat, however, you can close as many as you like. However, it is often nice to leave a button or two open at the bottom. Especially for longer coats or when sitting down, this gives you a little more freedom of movement.
