The Dege & Sons Overcoat
Established in 1865, Dege & Skinner is a distinguished bespoke tailor and shirt-maker situated at 10 Savile Row, London. As one of the longest-operating bespoke tailoring businesses in the world, they offer the Row's sole permanent on-site bespoke shirt service.
Steeped in history, the British Warm is an icon of men's style. Originally created as a military greatcoat for British army officers during the First World War; its weight, durability and traditional appearance, makes it thoroughly worthy of its place within our Revival Room collection. Often associated with Winston Churchill who favoured it for its practicality and effortless style, it has remained popular ever since as a smart urban overcoat.
The British Warm is not just a coat; it is a symbol of elegance and sophistication. Its classic design and impeccable craftsmanship make it a timeless piece that transcends trends and seasons. The coat's rich history and association with esteemed figures like Churchill add to its allure, making it a must-have for any discerning gentleman.
This particular piece was crafted at a time when Dege & Skinner were named Dege & Sons. An immaculate example of the iconic Dege & Sons British Warm, with remarkable attention to detail. Tailored in a weighty cloth, it has the hallmark leather football buttons and epaulettes that make the style so distinctive.
