Picked this up while thrifting- Wool overcoat with wool belt and hard leather buckle.

Picked this coat up today, it is in excellent condition however it is a bit too big for me at a 42R, I fit a 38 or 40R better but for the price I figured I would buy it and try it. To me it seems to be in the style of a covert coat but it doesn't have the 4 rows of stitching on the sleeves and hem, does anyone have a better description? Single vent, single breasted three button and three buttons at the cuffs, non-working. Sorry for the camphone pics, it is made from the same wool material as a covert coat I once owned. Has anyone heard of the maker Kilmaine, in the inside pocket there is a little pink label with the size and what I assume is the style name "Carlow".

Picked up a RL Polo coat a little ago and finally got to take some photos today:

Chasseur, that's a really nice coat. There is something very classic about the color and styling of those polo or camel coats (whatever you call them).

Chasseur, I did not think it got cold enough for a coat like that over there. It is a nice looking coat.

 

[Chasseur]

Thanks guys! Actually it doesn't really get that cold here (except on mountains), its more for when I go traveling during the winter other places.

 

[Matt Deckard]

It's from the 1940s. It's warm. I need better pics.

 

[Chasseur]

Looking good Matt. I am looking forward to seeing my Powell after all these photos of you in one!!

We are coming to the end of summer here in Australia and I need to Go and inspect my furs that have been in cold storage since September

(Repost from trench coats): Not a trenchcoat, but my everyday raincoat, drying from yesterday's showers is a 1970's Brooks Bros. "fowler's jacket". Fine cotton, flannel lined, wide corduroy collar, inner duck call and zip pockets, outer details include handwarmer slash pockets, reinforced right forearm for cradling *******, and rear double-zipper snap-expanded with waterproof (make that blood-proof) lined game pouch.

Also not a trenchcoat, my winter dress-grade overcoat: vintage early 1960's The Crombie Seal Skin "loomed in Scotland for Caswell's of Saskatoon".
Heavy, butter soft herringbone weave wool outer, brushed flannel finish wool inner with satin half-lining. (this is the softest, most luxurious heavy-weight wool I have ever seen or felt - cashmere, alpaca, vicuna bar none; scottish elf magic? looks like black-on-black Harris tweed herringbone but feels like fine cashmere/lambswool blend.) Shown with Brooks Bros. cashmere muffler, Christian Dior silk tie.

Nice one, guy!

Thanks! Unfortunately a size or so too large for me.

Nice coat, Dubya and a great price.

I just bought this one. Hmm... Might be a while before it gets cold enough to wear it now.

excellent coat Anton. beautiful fabric.

 

[Two Types]

I saw that. Was it one of the coats that were in the sale? Certainly plenty of good coats on the site.

 

[AntonAAK]

Thanks HBK.

It wasn't in the sale, TT but I thought it was reasonably priced for its age and size (£135). They certainly do get some interesting items on that site. I'll have to stop looking for a bit, spent too much recently.
