Men's 100% Brushed Cotton Sack Coat

Our Brushed Cotton Sack Coat is fashioned with a 100% cotton shell and 100% polyester lining, and dry cleaning is recommended for its care. Rewind to a bygone era and show off what was then the latest in men's fashion by donning this garment, which features a soft, brushed-cotton finish, rounded hem, a notched collar, and four buttons fastening up the front, ending in high lapels.

Don't let the name "sack" fool you - this coat is not loose or oversized. Rather, the term was coined from "sacque cut", referring to the specific way the two-piece back is pieced and tailored together. While there are no outer pockets, the interior offers a breast pocket and hidden ticket pocket.

Be part of the 19th century's buzz and banter by wearing our Brushed Cotton Sack Coat to attend to your daily agenda, from meetings in town to a train trip to the shore - this new silhouette is comfortably appropriate for everything but the most formal events.

The 'sack coat' gained popularity over the longer and dressier frock coat, and by the 1870s had become the regulation style for conducting business and casual recreational pursuits. In a way, the sack coat was a wearable rebellion against the formal and fussy traditions of the time. Our version, highlighting all the style elements of the late 19th century, features a high-button front that was often worn fastened just at the top to let a vest show through below. Other notable design details include a notched collar, unvented back (to maintain the trim shape), decorative seaming and 3 buttons at each cuff.

Our coats are made with typical American sizing, meaning your chest measurement (in inches) is the size you should choose. To measure your chest: Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms, crossing over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest. If your belly measures larger than your chest, use your belly measurement for coat size. See our storefront for more items!
