Something the parisians do not truly care about is as well look alike when it comes to classics.
In the streets it seems that the crowd of trench as well as perfectos is replaced by a crowd of black coats when winter season comes.
Still, I personally like to have my own difference when wearing a black coat.

Quality is key, particularly when it comes to such a huge piece as a coat.
You want the hems to be perfect, the lining to be subtle, the buttons to be well attached as well as the material to be beautiful.
