I bought a late 30s early 40s german pea coat style. Think Dr. Who jacket but in brown. This is a great jacket but in addition to this purchase I also bought a custom Lost Worlds jacket off of ebay. The LW is 4oz horse hide and in a cafe racer style like the Schott 641. I've never seen...
Johnny,
Has the Wested coat come in yet? I'm thinking of ordering one and would like to hear your thoughts as wellas see some photos of the coat.
Thanks
Doug,
Nice Coat. Did you talk to Gemma about this project? If not, who does one talk to about having Wested do specialty work? What is the leather thickness/ weight?
I have some ideas for modifications to the u-boat/Dr. Who coat Wested sells and am interested in finding out who to...
Doghouse, you picked a good one. I can't seem to convince my wife that our lives would be better if I bought this coat. She's a tough sell.
In an case, are you looking for the U.S. peacoat in leather/horsehide or will a foreign peacoat do? Aero makes one new called the Mariner ($804) it's...
BellyTank, You make a good point about some of the styles being civilian non- war production. I had not thought of that. This gives me some hope that there might be some coats still in circulation. Still, not easy to find an original.
I have the director's cut. Great film.
Yes, I understand what you are saying about how many sailors didn't come home. And therefore lack of origionals to be found today. Still I wish more people found the timeless Navy look more appealing. Then there might be more manufacturers making...
Thanks for the tip. I just spent two hours on the net looking around. It's difficult to find these coats. And for me it seems especially difficult to find things in my size 38. I'm 5'9" 123 lbs.
I 'll wait to see the wested review on the Dr. Who/ U-Boat coat, if it's good I'll most...
What were some of the surplus/ vintage sites that you found? I haven't seen many coats of this style around and wold like to see what else is out there.
Thanks
I ordered and received horsehide samples from Wested as I too am interested in the Das Boot- Doctor Who coat. They were prompt in sending out the samples and were quick to answer any questions I had. I also found that the coat could be ordered in goat skin as well. Wested uses horsehide that...
I am new here and can see the forum members know much about quality clothing. As I'm also new to vintage/ quality coats, perhaps I can also beg some help from the forum.
I am very interested in the pea coat and would like to buy one in horsehide. Can anyone tell me what places might sell or...
Hi everyone, new to the forum and had a question.
Has anyone seen this site before? www.Replicaters.com
Only the german navy links work right now. The dealer said the website was being updated. The Kriegsmarine uniform leather trousers look interesting.
