Fit Check Thread for Jackets

Like a British Crombie, to the knees

Exactly, those are overcoats to the knees: its proper name is the British Warm.
just to mention some other Overcoats that hit "around" the knees area: some lower:
Guard coat
Covert coat
Polo coat
Ulster coat
Chesterfield
Paletot
Balmacaan

And I'm not going to mention those related to the world of the Navy

I like the tweed Ulster coat

 

[Peacoat]

just out of curiosity: I suppose those cuts from 1910/30 aren't among your fav,
I'm asking because, as your nickname suggests, I've often come acrosss your comment here and in the other forum on the Peacoat theme, so I'd love to hear your opinion as a knowledgeable person about the longer and the shorter versions.
I wasn't looking for the long version, even if are civilian interpretations, but I always struggle to find pieces that fit my built, so this one ended up too long, which is still in line with those early 20th century ones you mentioned, but it's too bulky cause of the thinsulate lining while original peacots don't have to face these issues.

Regarding overcoats, there are good brands that use very fine wools for the shell and then they ruin everything by adding a padded lining, so instead the coat to drapes, it makes the wearer stuffed from the neck to the knees ( worse than the examples in my fit pics) cause I thought both the wool and the lining to be thinner, but they're actualy both quite thick

It's not that they aren't among my favorites, but that they were discontinued so long ago as to be no longer relevant to me. Sort of like a great uncle who died well before I was born, but who is stilled talked about amongst the relatives.

I have told this story before, but I had a chance to buy a 1930s peacoat on eBay once–probably 15 years ago. It had been the coat of the seller's grandfather. The weather was warm, and there were no bids on the coat, nor any interest. That coat was going for a quick song. And it was my size too–a size 42.

I told the seller what she had and advised her to withdraw the item from the auction. I also told her I would like to buy the coat for a fair price if she still wanted to sell it. I gave her my email address (this was back in the day when that was allowed), but I never heard from her. I'm sure by now she has sold it on to someone else. Several years ago, I looked for her email address without success.

What I should have done was to bid high on the coat to ensure my bid won and then paid her the difference between my bid and what I thought the coat was worth back then–about $300. But I didn't think to do that. I just lost out on the coat.

So, at this point, those peacoats are no longer relevant to me.
