The polo coat is a beige double-breasted overcoat usually made with patch pockets, wide lapels, a half-belt, set-in sleeves, turnback cuffs and cut to reach the knees. It was first born in England as a wrap coat worn between breaks, or chukkers, in polo matches, and casually thrown on the shoulders. Only later did the coat reach the somewhat codified form it has kept since. The blankety coat provided warmth and a nice additional layer against the wind for players whose heat and perspiration were cooling down. In essence, the first polo model was a waiting coat. Its colour was beige or a bit darker shade and the material of choice was camelhair, a very warm but tender fabric.
