Double-Breasted Camel Hair Polo Coat - Ardentes Clipei

The Polo coat is a classic, long, double-breasted overcoat, traditionally made from camel hair and, as its name suggests, originally associated with polo players. Recognisable by its generous cut, broad lapels, double-breasted front, patch pockets and distinctive cuffs, the Polo coat is one of the great classics of the men’s winter wardrobe. Long and enveloping, it combines warmth and practicality with a relaxed, elegant silhouette that is immediately recognisable.

Originally associated with the world of polo, the men’s Polo coat has, over time, established itself as an enduring classic of winter outerwear. Its generous cut makes it particularly well suited to being worn over a suit or sports jacket, while its timeless proportions give it an effortless elegance.

Camel hair is among the finest cloths for a winter coat. Naturally warm and insulating, it is distinguished by its exceptionally soft handle and subtle lustre, giving the finished coat a rich and luxurious appearance. Traditionally, the Polo coat is made from camel-coloured camel-hair cloth, although it can also be made in a variety of shades like this one in Navy blue.

For a more understated and versatile interpretation, the Polo coat can also be made from pure wool. Wool offers excellent warmth and durability, while allowing for a much wider choice of colours, weights and textures. A heavy wool cloth gives the coat a more robust and substantial character, while a softer and finer cloth creates a more refined appearance.

At Ardentes Clipei, the Polo coat is available made to measure. Its proportions, length, cloth and various details can be adapted to each client. Whether made from luxurious camel hair or a heavy winter wool, it remains one of the most enduring styles in the men’s wardrobe: a practical and elegant winter coat deeply rooted in the traditions of tailoring.
