Single Breasted Overcoat in Black

1. What is True Muscle Fit?
It's the fit system we've spent a decade engineering for men who train. Fitted through the chest, arms and shoulders. Generous around the glutes and quads. Tapered at the waist and ankle. 4-way stretch fabric so it moves with you. Not slim fit. Not regular fit. Built specifically for athletic builds that standard sizing ignores.

2. How do I know which size to order?
Start with your chest measurement — that's the most reliable guide for tops. For trousers and shorts, go from your waist. Use the size guide on this page. If you're between sizes and the chest is the limiting factor, size up. The 4-way stretch and tapered waist mean you won't lose shape by going up a size.

3. I'm between sizes — what should I do?
Size up. Our fit is already tapered through the waist and body, so sizing up for the chest or shoulders won't leave you looking boxy. If you're genuinely on the line, the customers who size up are the ones who keep their order.

4. I'm muscular with a broad chest but a narrower waist — will this fit me?
Yes. That's exactly the body type we design for. The chest and shoulder cut is generous, the waist is tapered in. You won't be swimming in excess fabric around the midsection to accommodate the top half.

5. Does it run true to size?
Our sizing runs true to the measurements on the size guide. The most common reason for returns is customers ordering their standard high street size without measuring first. If you measure your chest and match it to the guide, you'll land in the right size.

6. Can I machine wash this?
Check the care label — most TA garments are machine washable but some exceptions apply. For those that are: wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, inside out. Air dry where possible. Tumble drying on high heat is the fastest way to damage stretch fibres and distort the fit. Full guidance by product category on our Care Guide.

7. Will it shrink?
Not if you follow the care instructions. Shrinkage is almost always caused by high-heat washing or tumble drying. Wash cool, air dry, and the garment will hold its shape.

8. Does the 4-way stretch mean it will lose its shape over time?
No. The stretch is built into the fabric construction, not achieved by over-stretching a standard fabric. Wash cool and air dry and it'll keep its shape wear after wear.

9. This item is out of stock — will it come back?
