Rochester Frock Coat

$225.00

Try the Rochester Frock Coat as a dramatic fall or spring jacket, a funky party outfit, or as a dramatic topper for your clubwear.

If you’re not afraid to be different, you can try frock coats for a wedding (even your own!), at music festivals, graduation celebrations, and holiday events. They always turn heads, and are shockingly comfortable!  The clever cut and our fabric choices ensure that you’ll never feel any binding at your back and shoulders when you reach forward.

These coats have contrasting cuffs and trim.  The front opening edge is intended to fall straight down from the side of your neck; you can use a belt or baldric to keep it closed if you wish.

The coat sleeve is supposed to be short enough to show an inch or three of shirt ruffle at the wrist, not come all the way down to your wrist bone.  If you’re very tall or long-armed, or you would prefer a longer sleeve, please nopte this during your order.

Each coat is individually cut and assembled by hand, and every one is a little different.  You can even create your own unique combination from the available fabric and trim options.

Description

NOTE: Some seams, darts, back yokes, or other fitting-related details which are shown in the photos will change between sizes or body shapes, and may look different or be completely absent in your version (depending on your particular size or shape).  Design details that don’t affect fit, such as collars or pockets, will stay the same between sizes.

Formerly called the “Pirate Coat”.

Choose one main body fabric and one cuff fabric.  Your Rochester Frock Coat will be made with two kinds of trim for the front edges (designer’s choice).  If you want no trim, please indicate this when placing your order.  If you want a quote for more trims, or to choose your own trims, contact us directly with your selections from the Trims Gallery.

The Rochester Frock Coat looks especially magnificent with leather-look cuffs!  Visit the Faux Leathers gallery to view options.  Incidentally, we do also have a selection of real leathers.  Contact us to upgrade all the way!

The coat will be either partially lined or unlined with bound edges, depending on the weight of the fabric.  If you want a full lining, ask us for a quote.

WARNING: Your monitor may not show colours or textures accurately!  If the exact shade is important to you, you can order a fabric swatch for $5, which will be deducted when you order anything.

Custom

If you don’t see the fabrics you’re looking for here, please check out the vast selection in our Fabric Galleries; you can also opt to choose your own trim from the Trims Gallery.  Prices will vary according to your choices, so ask us for a quote once you’ve decided what you want (as directed below).

For the main fabric, you can choose from the following gallery: Suitings (any type).

You can also choose Jacquards, Brocades, Silk Brocades, or Faux Suedes, but we’ll need to customize the fit or colour-block with a stretch material so you can retain mobility.  Please bear in mind that cost can escalate quickly if you opt for any kind of brocade for the body of the coat, as this takes a lot of yardage.

For the cuff fabric, you can choose from the following galleries: Jacquards (any), Lace Overlays, Brocades, Silk Brocades, Faux Suedes, Ducks, Taffetas, and best of all, Faux Leathers!

WARNING: Your monitor may not show colours or textures accurately!  If the exact shade is important to you, you can order a fabric swatch for $5, which will be deducted when you order anything.

Sizing

Rochester Frock Coats should be flowing and a bit loose; you should be able to conceal a cutlass under it and make a full lunge with your sword. Because they’re not meant to close in the front, the fit is forgiving. If you want yours to be more fitted than average or very loose, however, please make a note of it during your order.
