Show Us Your OVERCOATS

[Dinerman]

Picked this up at the Value Village today.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Just tremendous, Dinerman. Both your re-style of the grey German number and this great purchase. They both appear to fit very well in shoulders and sleeve length. You've got to be pretty happy about them. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

^What he said. The silhouette and back treatment are astonishing.

More proof that great vintage can still be had for cheap.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

It's an excellent overcoat, particularly in the back treatment!


The sleeves are a bit short. Remember that overcoat sleeves should be longer than suit/sportcoat sleeves.

D-man, you IS the man! Amazing you can find that sort of stuff where you are! I wouldn't dream of finding that on a rack anywhere in the NY area! Is there any room to let down the sleeves? Did you guys see that center pleated overcoat that just went on ebay for $150 buy it now? I don't need it, but I would have snatched it up in a heartbeat if it was a bit bigger! I don't view myself as particularly tall at 5'10"-ish but I'm always surprised at the amount of 23" arms sleeves [huh] curses

Had this for a while, and held on to it. It's rare that I find vintage in my size (46), particualrily something like this. I'm thinking late '30's to late 40's? It's one of those things that realistically I probably will never wear, but Damn it's cool...
Would this be something that was actually made locally or just had a local tag put on?
Snow-Fo, gotta love it
Cheers
Mark

That's one thing that I really miss living in the deep south now, Coats! My oldest brother inhereted my fathers Cashmere ones, I'm not "big" enough!

 

[Hornby]

http://www.xoopit.com/s/20um7cjq58enera2fz85 Harris Tweed top coat. I bought this item a few weeks ago for $5 to $7 don't really remember. It is at the tailor's now, getting fitted.

We'll see if them A1/A2/G1 flyboys give a hoot about wool. The jury is out.


Here's a 1930s German chesterfield overcoat that I sold a while back. Very streamlined:

That's my favorite here.

Several of these coats are very stylish and look so incredibly warm. I find that I sometimes buy a good coat because I like the way it looks only to discover it doesn't keep me that warm. Granted here in the South it doesn't get that cold. But I am spoiled. I am freezing in 50 degree weather.

But great coats...please more pics...it is getting that time of year.

Just picked up THIS baby from 1955...

Ready to start channeling my inner Don Draper:

GORGEOUS *1955* TAILORED MENS FINEST TWEED TOP COAT XL

Not bad for less than $50!

 

[Zemke Fan]

The tweed from 1955 arrived today...

Just as described. Looks absolutely unworn. Fits perfectly except on the very bottom. (No idea why!) Will get some photos posted when it cools off enough again to wear it!

I committed today something that might prove regretful in a couple of days time: bought vintage for somebody else! lol to be more specific i got this navy overcoat from ebay for my husband. He knows nothing of it as yet. Will find out when coat arrives. Hope the fit will be good, measurements match, but you never know. Hope he'll like it. I wanted to make him a surprise but these things can go very wrong indeed. And it's most nerve racking to buy online, let alone for somebody other than yourself. What do you guys think of this coat?

 

[sproily]

Here are my two cold weather overcoats

Dinerman, that is a beautiful coat. It's polo coat, right?

 

[crazydaisy]

Sproily I love your grey coat, some of the gentlemen here have sported similar styles coats, this one looks perfect to me, I like the military look of it and I think that would highly appeal to my husband. Dinerman coat is also exquisite. Sigh...hope to get one some day...
Here he is wearing his db modern mid coat, probably the best thing in his very small wardrobe.

How could he not love it? It's marvelous.

This.
Surely if the measurements are right it'll fit just fine.

 

[mike]

Not mine, but documenting it none the less...

I love this, even if it could belong to Wolverine!

 

[Feraud]

The detail on the above overcoat is spectacular! :eusa_clap
