The Coat for Spring

The slightly less formal coat for spring is the raglan sleeved tweed, like the examples on the left and right of the Esquire illustration. A mid-weight (15 ounces or 500 grams) tweed provides warmth in milder temperatures and repels rain well enough to provide shelter from most storms.

Choose brown for a coat that will not be worn to the office in town, or blue for city streets. Personally, I find gray too dull for the season.
