It is a similar case in many other parts. In the other half, there is severe cold during the period of the cold wave. This lasts about two or three weeks. People don’t need elaborate woolen dresses for this short period. Only in Himalayan states does the temperature drop below the freezing point and stays there for months together. Only people in this area need very elaborate protections against cold, wind and snow. What they can do in addition to the normal protection against severe cold is to have a woolen overcoat.
It extends below the knee An overcoat is a long outermost garment extending below the knee. It is used during harsh winters, when warmth is the major issue. It is made of heavy cloth or fur. The overcoat is meant to ward off intense cold, and sub-zero temperatures accompanied by persistent icy winds. It remains unaffected by rain and snow and keeps the body warm. A snug-fit overcoat allows one to move along comfortably in windy and snowy conditions. It must be a tight fit During the period of intense cold, the only acceptable outerwear on top of a suit is an overcoat.
It is a long coat with sleeves. A good overcoat is warm, and snug-fit. Heavy woolen overcoats last longer. The overcoat sleeves must cover the sleeves of the suit and the shirt. The overcoats reach the knees these days. An overcoat can also be stylish and trendy. Or it can be just formal. Dark-color overcoats such as black, charcoal and navy blue are considered classic and formal wear. Overcoats are made of a great variety of fabrics like wool, wool blends, felt, leather or others. But quality wools like Cashmere are the best.
Not much of a choice Online men’s long overcoat in India does not seem to be a big market. The price ranges from around Rs1000 to Rs10000. But the stock in online stores is far from encouraging. There is not enough of variety. The options for the buyers seem to be limited. Maybe, an overcoat is not all that necessary in most parts of the country. But people will have a good choice in online shops run from abroad.
