Reliable Clothing Gray Wool Car Coat size 56/46 (XL)

The name Reliable Clothing of Canada is synonymous with the mid-20th-century boom of the Canadian garment industry. Montreal & Toronto Heritage: Based in the historical manufacturing hubs of Montreal and Toronto, Reliable was part of a prestigious wave of Canadian tailors that gained international acclaim for their high-quality, cold-weather outerwear. Mid-Century Powerhouse: The brand peaked in the 1950s and 60s, a time when Canadian-made coats were considered some of the best in the world due to the country’s unique expertise in crafting garments for extreme climates. True to its name, the company was known for "over-engineering" its coats, using dense wools and experimental blends that have allowed many of their pieces to survive in pristine condition for decades. The "Industrial Heritage" Overcoat The Fabric: A Masterpiece of Texture This isn't your grandfather’s overcoat. While the silhouette is a timeless nod to Parisian-inspired tailoring, the soul of the coat lies in its "Wire-Woven" Herringbone Wool. This rare metal-thread blend was an experimental high-end textile of its era, designed to give the coat a subtle, armor-like luster and incredible shape-retention. The V-shaped herringbone weave provides depth, while the metallic infusion ensures the collar and shoulders remain crisp through years of wear. Built to Last Crafted by Reliable Clothing of Canada, this garment features the heavy-duty tailoring the brand was famous for.
