outerwear store
Retail space specializing in coats and protective clothing for cold or rainy weather.
An outerwear store is a clothing store which specializes in coats and, often, other accessories such as scarves, hats, mittens, gloves, windbreakers, etc. which protect wearers against cold and rain.
The assortment centers on coats and related garments or accessories worn against cold or rain. Hats and gloves can accompany the coats without becoming the store's sole specialization.
A hat store concentrates on headwear, while an athletic clothing store concentrates on activewear. An outerwear store is identified by its weather-protection clothing range even when some garments suit outdoor sports.
