The verdict
Fit
The Edward peacoat signals a tailored, close-fitting silhouette typical of the style; expect a fitted chest and waist.
Quality
Wool construction from this brand is reliable—dense enough for cold seasons and cut to drape well through the shoulders.
Is the price fair?
At 575 EUR, you're in investment-coat territory. Fair pricing for dense wool and structured tailoring, though this is a specialty item, not everyday wear.
Best for
Men with a defined style who live in cold climates and want a coat that holds its shape through years of wear.
Care
Dry-clean wool peacoats to maintain shape; store on a proper hanger and brush regularly to reduce pilling.
What owners report about Officine Générale jackets & outerwear
Forum owners describe the line as sitting in a sweet spot of good-enough quality for an accessible price, with the fabrics drawing consistently more praise than the construction — stitching and finishing is where owners say the brand cuts costs, and one owner reported a button popping off after only a couple dozen wears. The jackets and outerwear run notably slim: owners report that even sizing up to the largest sizes leaves room to layer little more than a shirt underneath. The recurring buying advice from owners is to wait for deep end-of-season markdowns, at which point they consider the pieces clearly worth it.
- Strengths
- Fabric selection is the consistent bright spot — owners repeatedly single out the cloth as nicer than the construction that holds it together.
- Watch out for
- Construction is where owners see corners cut, with small trim failures like popped buttons reported, and the slim outerwear cut makes real layering difficult.
- Sizing
- Everything runs slim and slightly small, and the jackets are the slimmest of all — owners who want to layer routinely go up at least one size.
