The yoke and pleats just makes me think of German overcoats.

Lovely, by the way.

Here's a double breasted 'King coat', made for Harrods. I'm not familiar with Harrods labels so I don't know when this coat dates from. My guess would be 1950s/1960s:

I found this in a vintage shop in Bournemouth for £20. Rather a nice price.

Here's another new arrival. I'm not sure when it dates from, but I would guess 1950s. The Baracuta label isn't much help since I've seen the same label on much more modern coats. It's a lightweight wool British coat, made for Jothams in Cardiff. It is deadstock and has a fragment of the original label. The best bit: just £9.99 from Ebay. Considering how often people complain about there not being any larger sized vintage clothing available, this was on ebay for weeks without anyone bidding. I was the only bidder:

Nice overcoats TT. :eusa_clap

Hmm, well yes. While larger stuff is definitely less frequently seen, I see it often enough to doubt the common complaints about availability.

Maybe the problem is people that there's a few people like me who buy almost anything in their size! Meaning anyone who hesitates loses out.

Alternatively, the complaints come from people who are large but aren't the right shape and proportions for vintage clothing.

Here's the most recent addition to my collection of overcoats, I'm assuming it is from the early 30s but I am keeping my mind open if you gents think otherwise.

curly Alpaca... love it !

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yeah, aweseome.

Curlpaca, indeed!

 

[Mr. Speakeasy]

I also got this coat a couple months back, it shares a very similar cut the the last coat and is dated 1931. This coat is like walking around in the worlds most comfortable sleeping bag.

 

[herringbonekid]

excellent coat too !

 

[dh66]

Both are very nice. The curly one is absolutely amazing.

The curly alpaca is an absolute dream. Well done.

Every home should have one!

Those coats make my recent two entries on this thread seem rather tame!!!!

 

[Mr. Speakeasy]

Your coats are classic though, and thus can be worn anywhere anytime and look distinguished. The curlpaca coat stands out like a sore thumb and looks a bit like a fuzzy bathrobe. That's not to say i don't love it however...

Excellent additions to the thread! Call me crazy but I miss winter and the overcoats we put away for six months..

Agreed Feraud

That's one 'fuzzy bathrobe' I'd love to own!!!

I miss all the overcoats - so to speak - since I never see this thread: It gets lost among all those threads about the intricate details of leather jackets (and all the arguments that go along them)!
