The Outerwear Guide: Timeless Wool Coats & Tailored Outerwear
From the energy of the city to the tranquility of natural landscapes, Tiger of Sweden outerwear brings effortless style, comfort, and protection to everyday life.
Our outerwear stands apart through exceptional craftsmanship, rooted in over 120 years of tailoring expertise. Every piece is cut with precision, carrying the sharp shoulders, clean lines, and refined proportions that define the Tiger of Sweden silhouette. Whether it’s a casual parka or a padded winter coat, tailoring codes remain visible — shoulders are sharper, sleeves feel structured, and the fit reflects our heritage of suiting.
Choosing the Right Coat
The right coat should complement your wardrobe as effortlessly as it protects you from the changing seasons. Investing in timeless outerwear allows one piece to work across professional settings, weekends and evening occasions.
Classic outerwear styles include:
- Tailored wool coats for everyday sophistication.
- Double-breasted overcoats for a more structured appearance.
- Single-breasted coats with understated versatility.
- Trench coats for transitional weather.
- Long coats that layer comfortably over tailoring and knitwear.
How Should a Wool Coat Fit?
A premium wool coat should feel comfortable while maintaining a clean, tailored silhouette.
The shoulders should sit naturally without excess width, sleeves should finish around the wrist bone, and the body should allow enough room for layering a blazer or knitwear underneath without feeling restrictive.
Rather than being overly slim or oversized, the ideal tailored coat skims the body, creating structure while allowing freedom of movement.
Premium Fabrics crafted with purpose and precision
The performance of a winter coat begins with the fabric.
Natural fibres provide warmth, breathability and durability, making them ideal for everyday wear throughout the colder months.
Premium coat fabrics include:
- Wool for natural insulation and breathability.
- Wool blends that balance softness with durability.
- Cashmere blends for exceptional softness and warmth.
- Technical linings that enhance comfort while maintaining a refined appearance.
For climates with cool temperatures and frequent rain, tightly woven wool offers excellent protection while remaining breathable throughout the day.

Tailoring heritage meets modern functionality
Our collection evolves with the “tailoring meets utility” aesthetic, where sharp, structured design meets functional outerwear. Matte synthetics and contemporary silhouettes bring versatility to the wardrobe, while padded outerwear introduces new icons that merge comfort with precision. These are garments made with intent, yet worn with ease — timeless, adaptable, and relevant for city and countryside living.
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS)
The down used in our outerwear is Responsible Down Standard certified. RDS aims to improve the welfare of ducks and geese used for down. The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is a voluntary standard that incentivises the down and feather industry to treat ducks and geese more humanely and rewards organisations leading the way. The standard also gives companies and consumers a way to know more about the origin of materials in the products they buy.
This season we will also work with Thermore. Based in Milan - Italy, Thermore specialises in research, development, production and marketing of high-quality thermal insulation for apparel. Thermore was the first company to launch sustainable insulation in the 80s and is now highly concentrated on eco-friendly innovation, mostly using polyester fibres recycled from PET bottles.

Designed as a complete performance package, Invisiloft® combines a thinner profile, superior warmth, and an exceptionally soft hand feel. Plus, it’s made with fibers that are 100% recycled from post-consumer plastic bottles—a sustainable choice without sacrificing comfort.
Thermore® Thermal Booster: Extra Warmth that Always Stays with You
Thermore’s Thermal Booster smart insulation features a “boost” in cold weather performance when needed. Independent test labs prove that Thermore® Thermal Booster is 20% warmer at lower temperatures. Additionally, the insulation features Thermore’s proprietary fiber migration treatment and can be machine washed without adversely affecting performance.
