Buying pre-ownedHow to read one

Read the piece,
not the name.

With a pre-owned Dressler overcoat or jacket, read the cloth label first: the share of wool or cashmere, and the mill named on it, tell you more about warmth and drape than the size label does. Then check the shoulder seams, the lining at the armholes and the buttonholes, and compare flat measurements with a coat you already wear. Our Suit & Blazer Story explains how good tailoring is built.
