Custom Oxxford Overcoat for Men

As the leaves are changing and the air is getting cooler, the transition into a warmer wardrobe begins. You start by adding long sleeves, then to a fall coat. Soon enough the layers begin to pile up and you find yourself digging in the back of your closet searching for the perfect coat as an addition to your outfit. Out of all the winter apparel your hangers present to you, nothing you have seems to fit how you remembered, nor will it compliment your favorite pinstriped pants. Lucky for you, Tom James has a variety of custom outerwear to choose from. 

What Kind of Custom Outerwear is Best for You?

Not everyone can find an overcoat that is the perfect fit from a department store. From a sleek, custom pea coat to a fashionable bomber jacket on the casual side, to a more traditional overcoat, you are guaranteed to find an exemplary style to compliment your look. Your personal clothier will guide you through the selection of custom styles we offer to find which one will be the best fit for you. 

Custom Car Coat for Men

But wait, the style you choose isn’t the only thing that will complete your look. With four collections to choose from, you can bring liveliness to your outerwear by choosing a fabric that allows your personality to shine. With selections in cashmere, wool, or a blend of the two, your outerwear will be the perfect layer on top that is made just for you. 

When choosing a luxury Topcoat as the perfect addition to your wardrobe, you will want to take a few things into consideration. You can customize the lining of your coat with a pattern that is eye-catching, or choose a more subtle look by matching it to the outer fabric. From the buttons to the stitching, the details of your custom piece are equally important. 

Custom Bomber Jacket for Men

If a long coat doesn't seem to suit your style, you can choose to elevate your look with a more versatile piece. The classic Bomber jacket will provide a comfortable look that can be dressed up or down. The ribbed collar and cuffs match the waistline of the coat providing a snug fit around the waist. Whether it's in checkered flannel or plain wool, this jacket will never be out of style.
