There are warm coats made for morning commutes.
And there are warm coats made for complementing a natty three-piece when an important client or hot date requires it.
This regards the latter.
Acquaint yourself with the newly-opened Acustom Apparel showroom in SoHo, where they’re tricking out custom topcoats for your cold-weary frame.
In addition to the standard tailor tape, you’ll do a 3D body scan (in your skivvies).
Winter paunch thusly appraised, you can choose between traditional peacoat or single/double-breasted overcoat. Each is available in three lengths – suit jacket, just below the knee or full trench.
A wintry wealth of colors and patterns are on offer, all in a wool/cashmere blend that’s lightweight, warm and thoroughly strokable (You want to be strokable, right?).
And no need to be concerned about breaking the bank: a custom job at Acustom goes for about the same price as plenty of the off-the-rack numbers.
Live a little. And get the houndstooth.
Nota bene: mention InsideHook and you’ll get a free tie with any custom clothing purchase through the end of January. Stay dapper.
