The 10 Best Men’s Topcoats are Long and Layerable

Made in New York from an absolutely gorgeous piece of cloth from Abraham Moon’s mill in England dating back nearly two centuries, The Highlander is a vintage fabric that stays so true to the source material that it almost appears colorful. Like many of the coats on this list, it has raglan sleeves, which are much easier to move due to the wider armpit areas. Also, like many of the items on this list, it can also be considered a coat, due to its longer length and heavier weight.

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, this one from Gap is currently under $200, and has all the details you’d look for in a sweater three times the price — like raglan sleeves, full lining and welt pockets at the waist, and comes in a wearable tan color With anything.

Heavily inspired by World War II models, this Buck Mason joint features the kind of billowy plaid pattern, assertive lapels and roomy fit typically reserved for suspicious-smelling thrift finds.

Pretty much every coat on this list turns heads, for one reason or another, but between the oversized herringbone pattern, oversized hood pockets, corozo concha buttons and overall silhouette, this raglan-sleeve coat from Wythe is an absolutely stunning proposition — the kind that makes Strangers ask you for ID.

There are long coats in this guide, but only one can be the longest. That honor goes to Our Legacy’s Collapse Coat, which is made from a wool-blend corduroy — a lesser-known version of basketweave, not newborn canvas — and has a single-breasted front and a length that might border on “risky” if you’re on the shorter side (gay).

If you need proof that you don’t need to go crazy with colors or patterns to stand out along the way, take a look at this Todd Snyder piece. The XL herringbone pattern and generous dimensions basically do all the heavy lifting in the shutter department, and the belted front acts as a little exclamation point.

There are jackets for 10 times the price of the Mac Coat from 3sixteen, that don’t look, feel, or wear as good as these great jackets, which are made from a soft 90/10 wool/cashmere knit, have a full cotton lining, and all the pockets you could want.

The only camel hair coat on the list – softer than most other wools, extremely durable and impressively sustainable – this knockout from Auralee is completely no-frills but remains unmistakably luxurious. (And as a species we must do everything we can to protect this perfect shade of brown, whatever the cost.)

There’s no award for coats under $500 (yet), but if there was, this would be a serious contender. Raglan shoulder, funky spotted herringbone fabric, a covered placket and the kind of fit that would go with a hoodie, sweater, chunky sweater, or anything else. In other words, just a really easy jacket that looks great too.

A slightly shorter option for anyone looking for a little less length, but also all the warmth, versatility, and decorative glory of a coat, the Rivington Car Coat from J.Crew falls somewhere between the peacoat and the rest of the coats on this list.

If you’ve messed around with any of Stoffá’s products, you know that the New York City-based brand makes things that look kind of cute and that previously seemed impossible. Their asymmetrical coat only leads to this reputation, with oversized lapels, a goofy button point (in a good way), and some lovely undyed wool playing starring roles.
