Haha I think that's a fair point. I guess what I meant was its nice enough to dress up or dress down. I quite like stiff collars, although they can be a killer in summer. The tall double-round I got from Darcy is more comfy than the vintage ones I have.
I don't think I could ever pull off white...
It's certainly slanted. I'd say about 30 degrees really. There's also lots of stitching around the back of the armpits.

Are they Mother-of-Pearl buttons TT? It's very nice. What would you match it with d'you reckon? White flannels and cravat? Or maybe go whole-hog with a straw boater and double-round collar?
That must be it then gents. There really is not sign of them being moved, but I suppose if they were moved before the garment was worn a lot, they wouldn't have pulled the fabric or anything yet.
Here are a couple of pictures of the lining that I already had on my camera. If you need more...
Sounds nice! Similarly, I always struggle for summer clothes. I've only really got a few garments suitable for hot weather.

Dinerman that one is superb! I'd take that off your hands! I'm a sucker for plaid. Interesting how different the textures are to Terylene . Are yours quite stiff?

That was my initial thought gents, but there seems to be no sign of button movement. I shall post the lining tomorrow. It's very boring, one breast pocket but fully lined with satin type stuff. Thanks for the info!

Thanks Frank! It is indeed. It has a neat little tab on the inside that I didn't photograph. It's a pretty warm coat. No labels to speak of though.

Found an odd one today in the charity shop. I thought it was your typical 1940s/1950s waterproof top coat when I first picked it up, but looking at it more I don't know what to make of it. The fact it has four buttons for a fairly short coat, and a rather skirted cut makes me think it's older...
Thanks for posting Dinerman. I especially like the banana-yellow tie. But what would you wear with it? a white suit maybe?
I agree with Esteban68 - they do look a completely different texture to the sort we have over here. Do you come across as many Dacron ties as you do other materials (of...
So YOU got that 'Special'! I had my eye on it. It is lovely though. Reminds me of peanuts...
The 'Blue' is great too. Similar to that 'Standard' I've got. Very distinctive!
