Does anybody make a reproduction of this style of jacket? It's classic and perfect. Thank you.

...if you're looking for a modern equivalent i would try places like Dunhill or Hackett.

It's a lot cheaper to pick something like this up vintage than new, and on the vintage ones, the fabric and the cut is better.

What Dinerman said.

$30 for each of these and the quality of vintage cannot be beat.

It just takes some patience and knowledge to find them. You'll pay at least several hundred dollars for a modern one and the quality won't even be close.

I found this on Etsy. Custom vintage overcoats.

Hm I don't like the lapel/collar opening. It is too big. How is it called ayway?

PS: But I like the fact that they try to offer reproductions. They have some nice ideas. Just needs some work on the details.

Go for vintage - they are out there. And it's the fun of the chase.
I picked up a black one recently quite cheap (trouble is, it doesn't fit me). It weighs 5 and a half pounds - you won't get that heavy weight in any modern version.

Another vote for vintage. Picked up this gem in perfect condition for £25:

Wow, these are beautiful coats. I'm sold.

There's a reasonably priced 1955 Harrods grey double-breasted overcoat posted in the 'vintage finds and deals' thread.
