couldn't you buy that one, and have a tailor line it? that should be doable, right?

I think to add a lining to a completed coat must be very difficult, especially considering the way this coat is constructed. It is two layers of wool sewn together.

Trust me, I would consider it if I thought it feasible. There's also the issue that I think this fabric will soak through easily.

A sized down version of Schneider's FW11 merino coat could work with the knit lining unbuttoned/removed. I don't think there was a charcoal/black version though, navy is closest

Any suggestions?

A bit different from your specs, but I could see you rocking this. YSL coat from Yoox.

^ Doesn't seem particularly viable for cold winters unless the placket fastens all the way to the top.

I'm being a massive tool and bumping this. What's a bro to do? Should I just buy some derbies or something for the ~ 20 times a year I wear trousers?

It hardly seems worth it, but I hate having to adjust the hem of my pants every time I stand up. confused.gif

I don't really like the lapel/lack of closure. But I really appreciate your help.

I did this for a year and a half while in school. It usually worked pretty well, but not always. Anyway I live in NYC now...there are people around who know how to do things I can't do. Don't mind shelling out 30 bucks for that.

brad, I can't do it myself right now but you might want to dig around to see what you can find from Devoa and Obscur, they both do similar designs (especially Devoa). Sydney's has this coat from Devoa, for example, which obviously isn't what you want exactly but demonstrates the designer's aesthetic:

On a related note, who is the resident Givenchy expert on SF?
