A striking vintage Alexandre overcoat from the historic British tailoring name with its longstanding association with Savile Row.
Made in England from a substantial grey herringbone cloth with the appearance and handle of wool, combining traditional British tailoring with a particularly handsome period silhouette.
The six-button double-breasted front, broad sweeping lapels and structured shoulders give the coat considerable presence, while the long cut remains elegant and highly wearable.
A distinctive piece of English tailoring that works beautifully over a suit or jacket, yet looks equally compelling worn more casually with fine knitwear and trousers.
