Vampire Coat

Vampire Coats.

The vampire coat is yet another name for what many know as a gothic trench coat.

It is most commonly made from leather or PVC, is almost always full length,  and has quite a distinctive look about it.

There are occasions when it is made from a softer fabric such as velvet, but while some men and women choose these types, it is the bolder fabrics that tend to be the more popular with the gents. The softer versions will tend to have frills attached around the neck and cuff area.

The vampire coat got its name for a number of reasons, and these are just a few:

One reason is that the appearance of this garment is rather scary and goes along with the ‘Goth’ image of dark hair, black eye makeup, and blood red lips.

Another reason is that many vampire movies(both old and new) show the crucifix carrying hero donning a full length gothic coat. Many of the characters in the famous ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ series wore this type of outfit.

The vampire coat is almost always black and often has some sort of design on the upper back part of the garment. Most common is a white or red crucifix, but some are seen with a picture of a skull, ‘The Grim Reaper’, or Satan.

The more intricate the design, the more you can expect to pay for the garment, and although bargains can be found most ‘v c’ lovers will willingly pay any price for their preferred design.

The lining of the vampire coat is frequently made from red silk, and the wearer often leaves the coat buttons or zipper open to show off this fact.

The shape of the garment may vary, some being close fitting from top to bottom, while others are fitted to the waist then flare out from the waist downwards.

When you choose any item of clothing you are also creating an image, and the image that this style presents makes it a very popular choice for the extrovert man. If the wearer is not extrovert by nature, then he will still give the impression that he is brimming with inner confidence.

The vampire coat creates an aura of both mystery and power, you will most certainly stand out, and you will definitely be noticed.
