How the men's range is organised
Where to start
A long coat is the piece that does the most work, since it reads gothic on its own over ordinary clothes. Below that the range splits into shirts and waistcoats for the layered look, trousers and kilts for the bottom half, and harnesses, belts and neckwear as the hardware layer.
| If you want | Start with | Then add |
|---|---|---|
| A first gothic piece | A long coat | Plain black shirt, boots |
| Layered gothic | Shirt and waistcoat | Neckties, jabot |
| Punk | Strap trousers or a kilt | Vest, studded belt |
| Occasion | Brocade tailcoat | Jabot, gloves |
Sizing
Men's Asian sizing runs roughly two sizes below EU and US, a larger gap than the women's range. If you normally wear a European L, expect to order XL or XXL. Measure your chest and read the centimetre table on the product page rather than ordering by letter.
Frequently asked
- What size do I take if I normally wear a European L?
- Usually XL or XXL. Check the chest measurement in centimetres on each product page, since the gap varies by garment.
- Can gothic menswear be worn with ordinary clothes?
- Yes. A long black coat or a brocade waistcoat over a plain shirt and jeans is the most common way the range is worn.
- Do men wear the kilts?
- Yes, and the wrap closure is why. It is the most common first skirt for men in the alternative scene.
- Is the menswear range as large as the women's?
- No. Womenswear is roughly twice the size, though the men's coats, waistcoats and trousers are the deepest categories.
