Ultra-Rare! Hermes France 100% Wool Tannish Green Covert Gentleman's Coat 40R HERMÈS PARIS   Gentleman's Covert Coat   Made in France   Details Good classic gentleman's outerwear is not only an important feature of an outfit for the gentleman with good taste: it can also play an important role in making your first impression on other people -- in business or privately.  Simply speaking, unique, high-end, iconic, timeless and elegant outerwear is an excellent investment. At auction for the distinguished gentleman is a highly sought after and extraordinarily rare Hermes gentleman's Covert wool coat. Done in a traditional deep tannish green and made of 100% herringbone wool.  It has dual angled flap pockets on both sides and a ticket pocket on the right.  Made in France by world renowned Hermes. The process of hand-made couture, with the use of high quality fabrics, requires expertise and skill.  Indeed, considering Hermes as merely a ‘clothing maker’ is akin to considering Michelangelo rather decent at sketching.  Even in comparison to currently established fashion designers, the artistry and exclusivity of Hermes stands out as something worthy of praise.    The iconic style of Hermes conveys haute couture fashion.  A Hermes coat is reflective of opulence and success, and echo the sartorial elegance of the past.  This is a unique coat, as one would expect from Hermes, with a distinguished and vintage look, traditionally British style and unique Hermes untraditional features, rarely seen anywhere.  Covert coats are an anomaly to begin with, and this marries the gentleman’s Covert coat with the exclusivity of Hermes!  Hermes is highly sought after and this Covert coat is not something currently made by them and so is a very rare find! The coat is done in a heavy 100% wool herringbone and features a unique four-button, three roll, single breasted fly front.  It also features buttons at the collar so it could, theoretically, be buttoned all the way up in frigid weather.  In lieu of the traditional four rows on the cuffs and hem, it features 4 buttons on the cuffs.  It can be worn with your best designer jeans, a city suit, semi-formal or even formal attire.  With its amazing and unique features, this coat is made to impress while also remaining extremely functional as a warm coat.  This Hermes gentleman's coat is truly one of a kind! Covert Coat The Covert Coat surfaced in the late 19th century and was designed to be worn when riding. However, by 1890, it had become adopted by the masses and basically every elegant gentleman had a Covert Coat in his closet. Interestingly, it was very similar to the Chesterfield Coat, but even back then, the Covert coat was rarely longer than 34 inches and is thus a rather short overcoat, especially for 19thcentury standards. It was cut straight down, had side slits that were between 4 and 6 inches long and seams that were either strapped or double stitched. In 1893, it was cut much more fitted and was usually just 3 inches longer than the lounge coat underneath of it. Also, it was single breasted and now had a fly front as well as 4 pockets. Four years later, the first Covert Coat with Raglan sleeves appeared on London streets, but this fashion never really caught on. Over the next two decades, the style hardly changed and its mass appeal faded. By the 1950’s, the Covert Coat was en vogue again and now featured a flapped chest pocket. The basic characteristics of the Covert Coat were as follows and have remained unchanged ever since: Single breasted with a fly front Notched lapels Made of Covert cloth Short topcoat that is just a little longer than the jacket beneath Signature four (sometimes five) lines of stitching at the cuffs and hem, and optionally on the flap of the chest pocket Center vent Two flap pockets with optional ticket pocket The collar is constructed either of covert cloth or velvet Poacher’s pocket    “Covert” is not only the name of the coat, but the moniker also refers to the fabric and even the various color shades traditionally used. The Covert colors range from a light greenish-tan brown, to a fawnish mix to a rather deep tannish-green. Some theorize that the brownish color was developed so that horse hair would not be visible against the fabric. Others believe that the Covert colors were deliberately selected because they do not look sullied after the mud and dust had done their damage.   One of the outstanding aspects of the Covert color is the manner in which it is equally at home with every shade of suit, overcoat or accessory. It is a decidedly versatile palette of colors.   The Covert cloth receives its name from a very early association with the sport of (mounted) hunting. This material was primarily used for apparel worn by hunters and riders who met at an appointed rendezvous in or near a covert, which was a thicket that provided cover for game. Such a location would serve as a starting point for the day’s hunting.   It seems natural that the fabric produced for this very specific purpose had to withstand all kinds of weather, mud and bush-encounters during any good hunt. Even though the covert technically just provided protection for the game, the Covert cloth borrowed the name since it afforded protection to the hunter.   In order to fulfill its purpose, the Covert Cloth was traditionally rather heavy- sometimes weighing as much as 29 or 30 ounces a yard (about 900 grams per meter) – but today it commonly weighs about 14 ounces per yard or roughly 430 grams per meter. In order to further enhance its protective purpose, this tweed was woven very tightly and usually had a woolen weft.   Today, you will also find Covert coats in a herringbone cloth or other variations ranging from navy to beige, though this is a clear deviation from the original.   Hermès   Hermès is a French high fashion house established in 1837, specializing in leather, ready-to-wear, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, and luxury goods.
