Characteristic of An Overcoat

Fabric - Wool is a preferred fabric for an overcoat. And if you're planning to wear an overcoat in summers as well then go for 100% cotton. 

Sleeve Length - Your coat sleeve should completely cover the shirt cuff or suit sleeve. 

Length - Preferably your long coat should rest at the knee length, however, a lot of men have started wearing slightly shorter coats. Almost the centre of the thigh. 

Fit - Like any other piece of clothing fit is the most important thing to look for. Depending on your body shape you can go for a slim cut or comfortable fit long coat. But, never ever wear a baggy coat. That'll ruin the whole thing. 

Style - As mentioned above there are many different types of long coats. There're no hard rules here, you can pick the style you like the most.
