Karlin Loden?

Opinions?

I like them both, Michael, but prefer the green top coat with the green suit, green hat band, etc.

It was a tough choice Doug, but I did decide to go with the loden. So a whole lotta green going on today. It was a fitting choice in other ways as well. I think the loden coat and suit and hat are all around the same age. And the loden and the hat are both German.

Thanks,
Michael

From the description of the conditions you faced, I'm sure this was the right choice, not only for the reasons given by you and Doug, but because you would have needed the warmth of a woollen coat which also had water-resistant qualities. You might have been a bit cold in the cotton Burberry coat.

Yes, I think it turned out to be the right choice. Today is overcoat weather too. Maybe the last day of the season as it's supposed to start warming tomorrow.

I decided on the Diamond Leathers trench for the windy and misty conditions

Fastuni sold me sometime ago a beautiful 1930-40's German Ulster coat, the fabric is Brown tartan, wool lining with satin lining for sleeves and upper body. I really love this coat Here I'm wearing it with an original Stadion Fedora Fastuni sold me too and a three piece wool suit reproduction made from an original 30's pattern.

Hi, Here are a few pics of my overcoat, i bought it about fifteen years ago in Camden lock antiques market, London with another, they both cost me £10... yes! 10 pounds for both. Amazing!!
Its really heavy and has a wool lining. I believe its 1950s.

^ very nice Michael

Here's my Crombie great coat - picked it up a summer or two ago. Weighs a ton, can't wait to pull it out when the weather's colder.

Interesting: with this breast pocket - not very common!

 

[Doctor Damage]

Hart Schaffner & Marx was always a respected upmarket brand from what I've heard. Amazing coat!

Including my Navy bridge coat onto the list here. I think this is the first new overcoat of the year for me.
