The Permanent Style Bridge Coat - Navy

Permanent Style Bridge Coat - Navy

The coat is really great once I received the correct size. Down sides are the ai email assistant and the app sizing are totally wrong they make out it is a fitted product but when you order the recommended size it arrives massive. The process to get the correct size is arcane. Some time later I have a very nice coat that I like to wear.

Bridge Coat and Factory Visit

I travelled to Manchester specifically to visit the Private White showroom to try on some Pea coats. From the moment we arrived on what was a very rainy day, the service was excellent. I tried on several styles and colours eventually choosing the bridge coat. The explanation of the details and knowledge from the staff both of the history and the garments themselves was second to none. On top after choosing my coat we were offered a tour of the factory which for someone really into fashion was a very nice touch. Brilliant people, service and product which as the winter months come in I have already been able to enjoy! Looking forward to coming back in the future.

An elegant version of a workhorse classic.

Firstly, I have to caveat the review on the fact that it's now October but still close to 20C every day, so I've not yet had the pleasure of wrapping up for an autumnal/winter walk, so any comment is purely on the general initial impressions. I'm 5'11, 75kg, athletic(ish) build with a 40" chest, 32" waist and reasonably broad shoulders - I'd normally be a 4/M, but had to size up to a 5/L otherwise it was simply too tight across the chest - however, it definitely now needs layers underneath as it does start to hang a bit if I'm only wearing a thinner layer underneath. Sleeves need tailoring, half an inch maybe shorter, but that's fine - I can wear it comfortably now with a full tweed blazer underneath and that bodes well for the winter. Nicely made, quality materials, I did have an issue with a couple of buttons deciding to part company with the garment, one on the 4/M I returned and one on the 5/L I kept, but I repaired mine no problem and to be fair the customer service from PWVC was superb, the return was dealt with promptly with an almost immediate refund. I'm looking forward to wearing it soon and I'm considering a Harrington for next spring.
