Picked this up while thrifting- Wool overcoat with wool belt and hard leather buckle.

Picked this coat up today, it is in excellent condition however it is a bit too big for me at a 42R, I fit a 38 or 40R better but for the price I figured I would buy it and try it. To me it seems to be in the style of a covert coat but it doesn't have the 4 rows of stitching on the sleeves and hem, does anyone have a better description? Single vent, single breasted three button and three buttons at the cuffs, non-working. Sorry for the camphone pics, it is made from the same wool material as a covert coat I once owned. Has anyone heard of the maker Kilmaine, in the inside pocket there is a little pink label with the size and what I assume is the style name "Carlow".

Picked up a RL Polo coat a little ago and finally got to take some photos today:

Chasseur, that's a really nice coat. There is something very classic about the color and styling of those polo or camel coats (whatever you call them).

Chasseur, I did not think it got cold enough for a coat like that over there. It is a nice looking coat.

 

[Chasseur]

Thanks guys! Actually it doesn't really get that cold here (except on mountains), its more for when I go traveling during the winter other places.

 

[Matt Deckard]

It's from the 1940s. It's warm. I need better pics.

 

[Chasseur]

Looking good Matt. I am looking forward to seeing my Powell after all these photos of you in one!!

We are coming to the end of summer here in Australia and I need to Go and inspect my furs that have been in cold storage since September

(Repost from trench coats): Not a trenchcoat, but my everyday raincoat, drying from yesterday's showers is a 1970's Brooks Bros. "fowler's jacket". Fine cotton, flannel lined, wide corduroy collar, inner duck call and zip pockets, outer details include handwarmer slash pockets, reinforced right forearm for cradling shotgun, and rear double-zipper snap-expanded with waterproof (make that blood-proof) lined game pouch.

Also not a trenchcoat, my winter dress-grade overcoat: vintage early 1960's The Crombie Seal Skin "loomed in Scotland for Caswell's of Saskatoon".
Heavy, butter soft herringbone weave wool outer, brushed flannel finish wool inner with satin half-lining. (this is the softest, most luxurious heavy-weight wool I have ever seen or felt - cashmere, alpaca, vicuna bar none; scottish elf magic? looks like black-on-black Harris tweed herringbone but feels like fine cashmere/lambswool blend.) Shown with Brooks Bros. cashmere muffler, Christian Dior silk tie.

Nice one, guy!

Thanks! Unfortunately a size or so too large for me.

Nice coat, Dubya and a great price.

I just bought this one. Hmm... Might be a while before it gets cold enough to wear it now.

excellent coat Anton. beautiful fabric.

 

[Two Types]

I saw that. Was it one of the coats that were in the sale? Certainly plenty of good coats on the site.

 

[AntonAAK]

Thanks HBK.

It wasn't in the sale, TT but I thought it was reasonably priced for its age and size (£135). They certainly do get some interesting items on that site. I'll have to stop looking for a bit, spent too much recently.
