Men's Wool Coats

Men's wool coats in cashmere and wool

A well-made men's wool coat is the elegant answer to cold days: it warms reliably, falls cleanly over a suit or knitwear and never looks stiff. At Hollert German Leather the men's coats are built on wool and cashmere – wool brings durability and breathability, cashmere the particular softness.

Why wool and cashmere

Wool fibres are crimped and hold air between them; those pockets of air are the real store of warmth. At the same time wool takes moisture into its core without feeling wet, which is why a wool coat does not turn clammy in drizzle and still breathes in a heated room. Cashmere comes from the undercoat of the cashmere goat. Its individual fibres are far finer than sheep's wool, so a share of cashmere makes the cloth noticeably softer and lighter without taking away the structure of the coat.

Length, collar and fit

Classic winter coats are cut noticeably longer than a jacket and stay within a restrained, dark palette. Collars and fastenings differ from style to style – from a sporty shirt collar to a notch lapel, which looks particularly formal with suit trousers at the office. If you are after a short men's wool coat, a wool jacket is the easier answer for everyday wear and for driving. Fit is decided at the shoulder: if it sits cleanly, the coat falls calmly even over a suit jacket; if it pulls across chunky knitwear, it is a size too small.

Natural warmth through the winter

Wool and cashmere regulate temperature naturally: warm outdoors, breathable in heated rooms. The material asks for little care – regular airing is usually enough, marks are treated locally, and a broad shaped hanger preserves the shoulder line. For even more warmth, a men's sheepskin coat in real shearling takes over. Our overview of the wool coats covers the women's and men's styles alike, the complete outerwear selection sits under men's coats & jackets, and for a sportier look our men's leather jackets offer hard-wearing companions in real leather.
