Short answer

Care for overcoats depends on the chosen cloth and its care label. Ask the tailor for instructions for the exact garment; follow the label and avoid heat or cleaning methods it does not permit.

Overcoats live on shaped hangers between wearings, brushed and aired; a season-end clean before storage keeps them for decades.

Follow the care label for the chosen cloth and ask the tailor if the instructions are unclear. Storage, ironing, steaming and cleaning advice can vary by fibre and finish.

The itinerary is a proposal: months are planned, dates and venues confirmed individually. Final quotations are confirmed in writing before you commit.

Questions

How long should an overcoat be?+

Long enough to cover what it protects — typically to the knee for city coats. Proportion with your height decides the final line.

Is cashmere worth it for an overcoat?+

For warmth without weight, yes — the tour’s northern clients rarely choose anything else after their first winter.

Can an overcoat be tailored over a suit?+

That is how the fitting is done — worn over your heaviest layer so the drape is judged honestly.

When does Bonturberg visit Melbourne?+

Under the proposed 2027 programme, Melbourne is planned for October and November and March; dates and venues are confirmed individually as the window approaches.
