Show Us Your OVERCOATS

I live in Australia so l don't need too many overcoats. As of today l now own three, and l consider that a lot.

My first decent overcoat was a very thick and heavy Baron Lee. It is navy with green and red in it, and it is nice. (might post pic another day).

My other coat is a vintage made-in-England Aquascutum. It is wool and very nice.


I purchased a dream coat tonight, a vintage made-in-England Aquascutum made in cashmere. Gorgeous and in great condition. I saw an identacle one 2 years ago and never bought it and regretted it.

A coat l was eyeing off was this. An Aquascutum with a fur collar. Was available a couple of years ago, but l chickened out, + it was a bit more than l wanted to pay at the time.

I’ve been watching boardwalk empire recently and blown away by the overcoats. Some fantastic coats flying around- does anyone know who made them?

The blu ray box comes with loads of extra's. They also elaborate on the costume department. If I remember correctly they assembled a team of costume makers. All custom made. No third party supplier.

I suspect that's pretty standard for most movies and TV shows these days. That's why costumes look like something but just a little bit off. Or they buy OTR stuff and heavily modify it. But I suspect custom made. After all, it just has to look good on screen and hold together for a few weeks, not last 10 years or actually perform in bad weather, etc.

This is one of my favorite overcoats. Wool Trenchcoat with detachable mouton collar.

I had a conversation with a lady that works as a costumer for movies. She works what is called the "Breakdown" department. It is her job to age/wear/deteriorate the actors clothing to suit the scene. She said that they needed at least 6 sets of each wardrobe to cover continuity and all the possible scenarios and all the possible reshoots of the scenes.
