Knee length is the most versatile coat length there is: long enough for real coverage and warmth, short enough to move easily and layer over most of what's in your closet. The Southport and Tuxedo Coat both sit at this length.

The Checkroom's knee length coats are rated 5°F to 35°F, which covers most of a real winter. Our Southport Overcoat is aour warmest knee length coat with a deep collar and wrap design that helps seal out wind.

The Southport Coat has a slight A-line cut through the hips and comes in camel, black, and navy. The Tuxedo Coat has a cleaner, more tailored line and comes in navy. Both share the same 100% wool.

For most people, knee length hits the sweet spot for daily wear, dressy occasions, and layering over dresses or skirts. If you're deciding between lengths, our overcoat length guide walks through the tradeoffs.

Wool holds up better in light rain and snow than people expect, though it isn't waterproof. Our guide on wool coats and weather covers what wool can handle and how to care for it if it gets wet.
