I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and when it gets really cold outside, people start complaining but for me it is the other way around. I love wearing overcoats because it allows me to add an additional layer to my cold weather outfits. Now, what is the difference between an overcoat, a topcoat, and a great coat? Check out this video here where I explain the terminology.
So how did I end up with almost 20 overcoats in my collection? Well, over the years, I bought vintage. I really like vintage overcoats for 4 reasons.
Number 1, most of the overcoats you can buy these days look boring. Usually, they come in plain black, charcoal, and navy. Sometimes, they have zippers and weird details and I just do not like the look of it. That being said, black is the one of the most overrated colors and if you want to know why, check out this video.
The second reason I do not like modern overcoats is the weight of the fabric. In my opinion, they are way too light and while that is a popular trend among suits, for an overcoat, you want the fabric to be as heavy as possible so it keeps you warm. Overcoats made 50 or 60 years ago were a lot heavier and sometimes, they weigh up to 10 pounds or 5 kilograms or more. Honestly, these heavy overcoats keep you warmer than any Moncler down jacket or Canada Goose jacket. If you want to learn more about those, check out our reviews here. I mean, if I want to be able to find modern heavyweight overcoats, I probably would buy them but maybe that is something we can make for Fort Belvedere, stay tuned!
The third reason I like vintage overcoats is cost. Not a lot of people wear them anymore but they used to back in the day, so the supply and demand works in your favor. Oftentimes, you can find fantastic overcoats priced between 5 and 200 dollars versus a new coat from Brooks Brothers, for example, this Polo coat will set you back $1700. Now, I am sure it is a great coat if you wear it a lot, the cost per wear is good but you can find something comparable for 5,10, or 50 bucks, why not take that?
Last but not the least, the fourth reason I like vintage overcoats is the variety in patterns, in textures, and details. You just find classic paletots, half belts, full belts, you find raglan sleeves or regular sleeves and also colors and details that you just do not find in most modern overcoats these days. - Jak na to + styl
"when it gets cold, people start complaining, but I'm the other way around"
Glad I'm not the only one :)
I understand when I gets cold, I only complain when I can't walk on the ground😹🇺🇸🎄
I lived and worked in Texas and Maine. I'll take Maine weather every day.
@@Tomatohater64 better than California fires or Alaska freezing😹🇺🇸
Great way to think about the cold weather....it's just an opportunity to display a fashion statement🎩
@@Tomatohater64 same here :)
I remember when I was a volunteer with a Search & Rescue Group in East Anglia.
We were issued with ex - Royal Navy Duffle Coats dated 1942 !
Even so , they kept you very warm in Winter.
Still got my Army equivalent one now. Very warm indeed.
Proper No Twelve I did not know the army were issued a version.
The best bite of British Army clothing I liked was either called the Falklands parka, or Artic parka, name varies according who you speak to.
I liked the idea of the removable quilted liner, to regulate warmth.
Overcoats are simply the best things to get vintage or second hand. I got two single breasted wool coats, a corneliani and an indochino, a navy trenchcoat and a longer ankle length dark grey coat. All of these were around 50$ each and compared to the retail prices it's really hard to justify ever buying one of these new. I've read that luxury brands today such as burberry burn unsold garments in order to keep the prices high and that's another reason to avoid supporting them.
The best clothes that will ever be made have already been made and are sitting in thrift shops or second-hand online markets! Your wardrobe is proof of that. The Paletot coat is my favorite.
Definitely.
Would love to see them do a piece on the best second hand online markets for men's fashion that is not ebay
That and hand-me-downs from one's grandparents.
Me: Winter time, let’s get some overcoats!
Weather channel: ...22 degrees celsius today with...
Me: “weep in the corner”
Tell me about lol I see all these cool coats, but I can't get them cuz texas is like 70 F in the middle of January.
😂
Thank you for being an ethical business that promotes vintage, which keeps the viewer warmer and the environment healthier.
Business Coats?
You look like a gangster, i love it!
This is honestly heaven. I have always wanted to know the best way to pull off an overcoat as I wear one daily.
Thank you for being on the internet Raphael!
That's a great collection you have there, Raphael!
We both share a love for outerwear and overcoats, and I just had one made for me, since I am coming to Minneapolis in less than one month from now.
The weather doesn't get too cold here in Tehran, but I thought that a good overcoat would be my greatest asset during the notorious Minnesotan winters.
I wish everyone get dressed like that
:)
At least on sundays. Everday may be a bit to stressfull and does not fit in everyone lifestyle but once a week styling up properly and cooking or eating very nice :)
My boyfriend does and l see this chanel to give him some inspiratons :D
Same
Shoot this year I am 😂 forget the crowd
I'm a teen, but I have a collection of 3 vintage overcoats (and expanding). I love wearing overcoat because it keeps me very warm (I get cold very easily).
Very nice. Hope you get some more nice vintage pieces in the future!
Wow, how big a wardrobe can phisically be? 😂
Maybe it’s the one from narnia, or maybe it’s a tardis
It's just nice to see a man dressing well, instead of looking like he just rooled out of bed. All the time !
Rolled out of bed is defiantly the look I’m gong for
@@molusk4031 get a hoodie and sweatpants
@@mrmensje1 Yuch
With the pandemic and people spending most of their time at home on lockdown, people are becoming even more sloppy by the way they dress when they are in public places.
@@petersmith2040 i still wear my preppy clothes. I don't care if it's just to make a walk in downtown.
Wow! I just wish I had the kind of space in my wardrobe to accommodate so many coats!!
Quite a few german brands here. That makes me feel less inferior when looking at my fabulous covert coat in dark olive by Bieber. ;)
Großartiges Video wie immer! Grüße aus Siegburg
justin bieber?
Glad im not the only coat loving person - i buy new one pretty mich every season
Great video, Sven. Love the winter coats. Options are good!
Great looking coats!!! I love & collect old vintage coats because they were made better, endless classic looks, and better materials than today. 😀👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great video! I've just recently bought an over coat for a thriftstore/charity shop in the UK. It cost me £10.00 and I'm very pleased with it. I knew it was a good, heavy fabric and a nice tight weave. I Googled the maker: it was made by 'Invertere', made in England and a maker that predominately made high quality sporting coats and outwear. I'm very pleased with the coat and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.
The Gentleman's gazette produces videos of the highest quality :-) There, I've said it.
Tony
That fur coat is awesome looks super comfortably and warm
Fantastic overcoat collection! Thank You for shating and educating!🎩
Awesome!
Hope one day we`ll see 3 hour video of sven`s suit collection :)
Very informative vid Raphael and real fur makes sense if the weather dictates & if anyone disagrees you can always snowball fight over it 😂👍
Riz Kler I couldn’t agree more
I would be delighted if Fort Belvedere started making some nice thick wool overcoats (specifically long double breasted ones)
I searched for years looking for a long dark double breasted wool coat with a large sailor style collar (basically a peacoat but "overcoat length") eventually gave up, had to buy a vintage military airforce overcoat online. Had it dyed darker, lined it with a nice tobacco plaid lining, and had it tailor fit. Was worth it, have received dozens of compliments, but it cost me well above 1000. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find something so simple and timeless like what i described - Definitely think there would be a huge market for it.
Coming from some other fashion channels, I still find it fascinating how much quality is put into your videos from the first until the last minute, content-wise and video quality-wise. Greetings from Munich!
Thanks for sharing... Wonderful coat collection
You have an amazing overcoat collection and you got some great bargains, particularly the one you bought for €5.
Beautiful collection! I am also inspired by Boardwalk Empire and the overall style in that era. I look forward to the cold as well because I get to wear some of my favorite coats etc.
I love your coat collection! ❤️
Amazing video!
I have more than 50 size 36s blazers and jackets that I've bought on ebay the past few years. An amazing collection! Now, lets' see your overcoats. Wish we needed them here in Los Angeles!
Much nicer look than that mainstream hooded fur trim jacket trend that never goes away
stian w those are very useful when you live in a very cold climate
I am sick of those too
Get an old navy peacoat from a surplus shop. If you don't like the uniform buttons swap them...
I'm liking that mink lining. I am always so cold all winter and this looks so luxurious and warm.. I would like it in a more fashion forward style though .. for 200 bucks.
I'll take that green duffel coat.
1:35 Raph looked like a hypebeast for a second there...
random booster101 that’s not a hypebeast
Excellent journalism 👍🏽
I have multiple vintage coats; two of them are furs and they are some of my favourite pieces.
Raphael I'm just loving your fantastic collection of your Overcoats, I had a Black Long Cashmere Coat many years ago...sadly I grew out if it!
I really love your Malcom Kenneth coat, british warm coat and paletot.
Man watching you from Pakistan, watching you has really helped me a lot to built a classic wardrobe. Keep shinning 🎉
$10 for that grey checked peacoat!?!?😱
You really got a great, stylish steal of savings!
That peacock looked at least $90, love it👌🏽
I have D'avenza coat for Harrods I got for £250 quid including alterations. It's just like the chester barrie coat listed here, except you only button up with one button. Really special and completely agree with the velvet collar, makes you stand out super nicely.
This is awesome
A really affordable Classic Overcoat from Fort Belvedere would be awesome!
Have you seen the prices in Ft. Belvedere? They would never make it affordable.
brilliant video sir
Pure class....
The rabbit fur overcoat is amazing, cheers.
Damian Orlowski Sometimes u wanna go where everybody knows ur name
Any possibility of you gents doing a
video/guide about buying/acquiring military surplus overcoats?
The nutria coat is awesome!
0:58
This is why I love this channel. I thought the same. There's just something not right with modern coats and jackets, I think it's because fashion companies design their products to follow the current trends. Of course these companies need to stay in business, that's why they fit what the demand is, but at the expense of quality and style. This is the reality now.
2:11 Beautiful. No odd details that detracts from tradition.
You think clothing companies did not "follow trends" in the past? Lol
I am encouraged to learn from Sven Raphael Schneider that good deals on classic men's overcoats can be found on Ebay. I have not found any overcoats on Ebay that I like that fit me. But I am encouraged by this video to keep trying!
For anyone who is interested in buying a real navy peacoat, make sure it is made by sterlingwear. they are the company that holds the contract for the US Navy. i recently found one at savers for 15 dollars in my size and obviously bought it. probably weighs around 12 or 13 lbs and keeps me a little too warm if i wear it over my 3 piece suits! a great buy if you like the style!
Wann sehen wir endlich Ihren ganzen Kleiderschrank? 🤗
Dr. Netz Nein
I absolutely love this channel! Thank you for all the great tips. Are there any specific eBay sellers you'd recommend for vintage mens wear?
I have been wearing the navy peacoat a lot lately. Especially great for driving due to the short length. Mine has blue anchor buttons though.
My grandpa really loves your channel.
This man out here is living the life I want XD
Wow, great value
Raphael, Your Officer's Pea Coat has the DLA label which is Defense Logistics Agency headquartered a Fort Belvoir VA and the coat was from DLA Philly which procures all the uniforms for the services. I retired from the Army at DLA Ft Belvoir.
I wish we could make this style come back because I really liked it
Pretty sure they aren’t issuing Canada Goose jackets to those deployed in the arctic because they are less warm than vintage overcoats.
Some good ideas.
Yes please do heavy weight overcoats from fort belvedere 😀
11:42 DEMONITIZED
The Gentleman's Gazette isn't actually a monetized channel as far as I'm aware. They take pride in not having sponsors or advertising aside from their Fort Belvedere line of quality accessories.
Brother you are super sharp great Video
I would love nothing more than original Fort Belvedere overcoats! Please do it!
I gott a bit worried because the video was a bitt late than usual. But Sven always delivers. Good job!
Yeah when I’m hiking in norther Canada, an overcoat is definitely going to keep warmer than a Canada goose parka.
Keeping warm is all about insulation and keeping the body heat trapped. Yes, heavy overcoats usually will do that better than lighter coats in similar material. However, nothing beats the combination of a material breaking the wind and the down as insualation - nothing beats puffiness for insulation ;-)
In my opinion Malcolm Kenneth grey herringbone coat is the best, really love pattern, lapels and half belt, but overall that coat look great.
You have a very nice collection
These kinds of things are hard to find, but tbh, I'm glad I have one black wool overcoat for cold Finnish winters in my cabinet.
It was a joy to see your beautiful coats. I am now considering buying a fur coat
I used to find great overcoats in charity shops.
Austin Reed is sadly missed for reliable British made suits.
My neighbours were coatmakers at Crombie, worn by world premieres.
Vintage thriftshops in Germany usually charge much higher prices than in the USA. Just checked out the one in Hamburg, that you mentioned, a plain handkerchief alone, nothing special, costs between 20 and 35 Euro there. They have nice ties and things, though, so maybe still worth looking.
Great content as always! I'm sure this comment will be overlooked but it would be truly interesting if you ever did a video on "How to Dress to a Theme park" especially considering that back then people would get dressed up even for Disneyland.Even though nowadays a polo and shorts is the norm for the occasion it would be fascinating to still learn about the history but if it's too challenging no worries.
Looking good
Have you looked at Norwegian Wool brand coats? The combine an elegant wool/cashmere outer with waterproofing and down insulation hidden on the inside. Sounds like just the thing for a gentleman braving Minnesota winters.
Nice video and please do one on Peacoats 👍
Hello, great video! So many great pieces from eBay. Can you do a video on how to shop vintage online?
I absolutely love the nutria coat. And I agree, the second fur coat appears to be rabbit fur.
This comes in handy 💪😊
I bought a used P coat in the 80's. I wore it until it fell apart. I miss that coat :)
Love the concept would love your assistance very soon. Very soon lol
Hey Sven, you should do an Aquascutum versus Burberry video. Overcoats of sheer quality.
Hi Sven i have an Armani coat that is a mix of wool and polyester, it attracts so much fluff and hair because of the polyester
What can I do to prevent that?
Could gentlemen's gazette perhaps make a video on attachable collars?
Outstanding wardrobe!
The Brimfield Flea Market show in MA is the place to be
I am desperately missing a Loden coat in your collection. A coat made out of Loden makes a very powerful, not loud impression
The rabbit fur coat is amazing. Whats wrong with the Montgommery? Looks fun.
Hello, I'm curious of how you wash your overcoats. And don't you ever worry about wrinkling them or getting them dirty when you sit down?
I believe his overcoats have their own house. Love the herringbone ones.
Can you dye that bright green coat? if it were a few shades darker even i would wear it.
Sven did you do a video about measurements, I had difficulty translating American coat, suits etc measurements with those in Uk and Europe. Btw I live in Europe. I saw that there are differences in size between British and American ones. And translating that into an European size is confusing.
Wait... You're making overcoats?
I've been following you for a while now but have never purchased anything before, this would most likely change my mind immediately.
11:43 he's flicking me off lol this is hilarious I didn't expect it.
Hi. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy long overcoats? At 9:06 I see you got a below-knee overcoat for ~ 100 dollars. It seems like the fashion nowadays is to have overcoats that are around hip-length. Coats that are at or below the knee seem to be harder to find. I also fancy red or purple inner lining.
Thank you!
@Gentlaman'sGazette From where can I buy 100% wool fabric for tailoring a pea coat or a trench coat at an affordable price?
