To wear a big coat is to become a big coat. Ones that are truly voluminous cover the frame nicely, hanging persuasively off the shoulders like a waterfall of fabric. There’s a commitment, if not a burden to such a coat, but that’s half the fun. Embrace it, sit down, take a load off. In the new issue of Fantastic Man, photographer NIKOLAI VON BISMARCK walks the streets near his home in west London, styled in a number of coats by MAX PEARMAIN (nine to be precise) and photographed by ANGELA HILL. This wool chevron coat is by BOTTEGA VENETA, worn with a V-neck by JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN, pinstriped trousers by RALPH LAUREN and loafers by JOHN LOBB. #FM36 #MenswearSpecial #Coating
