Hockerty opens its Autumn/Winter 2026/27 lookbook with four made-to-measure companions for those weeks when a jacket is not quite enough, yet a wool coat still feels like too much.
Transitional coats are usually photographed over jeans, T-shirts or knitwear. Yet perhaps their most elegant role lies elsewhere: bridging the gap between a suit and a winter coat. With Drop I of its “Made to Keep” lookbook, Hockerty focuses on precisely this moment, presenting two trench coats and two field jackets, all made to measure.
It is a wardrobe designed for days that begin cool, end mild and demand a few sartorial decisions in between.
The Trench Coat as Part of the Suit
At the heart of the collection are two trench coats worn open over tailoring. The navy double-breasted version follows a long, classic silhouette. Combined with a Cerruti 1881 double-breasted suit in pure virgin wool, it creates a look that feels formal without becoming rigid. The coat complements the suit instead of concealing it beneath heavy layers.
The charcoal-grey belted version takes a softer approach. Its lightweight construction and loosely tied belt introduce movement into the silhouette. Rather than imposing a strict shape, it falls naturally over the jacket – a subtle detail that makes the entire look feel more contemporary.
Both designs address a question that menswear surprisingly rarely asks: what should be worn over a suit before a traditional wool coat becomes necessary? Hockerty’s answer is understated and precise. The trench is not treated as a merely functional addition, but as an integral part of the outfit.
Field Jackets for Less Formal Days
Two field jackets provide the more relaxed counterpoint. A beige version with lapels and another design with a classic collar can be worn over a shirt or fine knitwear. Both work equally well with chinos or tailored trousers, moving comfortably between business, everyday life and the weekend.
Their appeal lies precisely in this versatility. The jackets do not have to choose between formal and casual. They are made for mornings when an extra layer feels essential – and for afternoons when it already ends up carried over the arm.
Clothes Designed to Stay
The title “Made to Keep” describes more than the collection’s aesthetic. All four pieces are made to measure and can be individually configured using Hockerty’s 3D designer. Fit, measurements and details are therefore shaped around the wearer rather than a standardised clothing size.
Hockerty combines digital personalisation with the principles of traditional tailoring. Behind this approach lies a more considered idea of consumption: buying fewer pieces, while choosing garments that fit properly, offer versatility and remain relevant beyond a single season.
Drop I marks the beginning of Hockerty’s multi-part Autumn/Winter 2026/27 lookbook. Its first chapter focuses on clothes designed for a season whose weather rarely makes up its mind. That is precisely what makes them relevant: they do not merely make the transition wearable – they turn it into the main event.
