What is the difference between a top coat and an overcoat?
The difference between a top coat and an overcoat is their weight. Generally, an overcoat is a heavy piece of outerwear fashioned out of wool or a similar material. Top coats are usually lighter and feature materials like woven cotton. On 1stDibs, find a range of vintage and designer overcoats.
