Herringbone is a weave that reads as a solid colour from across a room and as a pattern in a conversation. Very little else in a wardrobe does both, which is why it survives every swing in what coats are supposed to look like.
The cut here is deliberately large: shoulders extended past the frame, sleeves wide and turned back at the cuff, and a double-breasted front that crosses deep enough that the coat wraps rather than closes. The lapels are notched and set wide, patch pockets sit low and cut deep, and the length stops at mid-thigh.
Oversized outerwear only works when the cloth has enough body to hold it, and this does - which is why it falls rather than collapses around the shoulders.
