Ralph Lauren repro. See how Ralph has "fixed" the offset belt that most originals have by lining up the pattern of the plaid, and how it makes the beltback almost complete fade into the background?

I've been lucky enough to find the Mackinaw in the main photo..it is a RRL reproduction beautifully done as you would expect from Ralph Lauren...

No belt, but here's an interesting mackinaw-style coat... worn in the UK by a royal detective guarding the Queen in 1972!

I'm halfway through watching the film "The Professionals" and I'm liking the mackinaws which the four leads wear. The coats are copies of the US Army officer's short greatcoats with matching cloth belt, but the coats in the film are unlined and made from a really rough wool material.

I just picked up this beauty for $20!!!! Sterling sportswear (penny's). Would love to know from which decade it hails from. I'd guess 50's-60's? I've long admired these hunting/mackinaw coats. Should have it this week.

That's a beauty! With a good dry cleaning, it will be wow, I'd bet. Enjoy it!
