Wardrobe Staple: The Camel Coat
The Camel Coat:
Classic. An investment piece that will never depreciate and should be passed down through generations. There is something nostalgic and timeless about this particular garment—a tangible way of feeling connected to the past while paving the future—and beyond that, reminding us that our clothing and legacy can live on long after we are gone. I've realized in my hunt for the perfect camel coat, that the image above has left an impression that cannot be ignored . . . I'm searching for my grandfather. Redesigning his coat and adding my own personal touch may be the only satisfying outcome.
Holy Grail:
- Large lapel
- Double-breasted
- At least one over-sized pocket
- Shin length
- Slit up the back
- Must, tie like a robe
Men. Women. Children. The camel coat looks fabulous on everyone, everywhere, at any time. It is the ultimate chic factor and does not discriminate, regardless of the season and changing trends. Dress it up, dress it down, wear it with all black or all white, wear it over a suit, wear it with sneakers and a hoodie. How you wear it is the easy part—finding the camel coat that will specifically suit you for a lifetime—that's another story. For myself, the search continues, and in the meantime I have these inspirational camel coat connoisseurs to keep me motivated.
