Fit Guide & Size Chart

Understanding your measurements is essential for achieving the perfect silhouette in this structured coat. The fitted cut means precision matters—refer to actual garment measurements rather than your typical clothing size.

Model Reference: The coat shown is size M on a model measuring 187 cm (73.6″) in height with a 97 cm (38.2″) chest. This demonstrates the elegant proportion the coat achieves on a taller frame.

How to Measure Yourself

For the most accurate fit, measure while wearing minimal layers. Use a soft measuring tape and keep it snug—not tight. Compare your measurements to the chart above rather than relying on standard sizing.

Care & Maintenance

Preserve the luxurious appearance of your gothic military coat:

• Cleaning: Spot-clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deep cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended
• Storage: Hang on a padded hanger in a cool, dark closet to prevent fading and maintain structure
• Hardware: Occasionally wipe metal buttons and D-rings with a soft cloth to maintain their lustrous finish
• Fabric Restoration: Gently brush the velvet nap with a soft-bristled brush to restore texture if it becomes flattened
• Odor Management: Air dry naturally rather than machine washing; the velvet texture requires gentleness

The Statement You’re Making

This isn’t merely a coat—it’s an articulation of identity. It appeals to those who understand that gothic fashion operates on multiple levels: the visual spectacle, the historical resonance, the psychological assertion of individuality within structure. Whether you’re drawn to steampunk’s mechanical poetry, victorian goth’s literary elegance, or contemporary dark fashion’s minimalist intensity, this military-inspired piece provides the foundation and framework.

Step into authority. Embrace the darkness. Command the space you occupy.
