... and in terms of what works best with our knitwear, I hope that they're all equally viable — they're not at all separate in my mind in that respect. I am sure we've photographed them in every combination over the years!
Outstanding, I appreciate your thoughts and detailed feedback!

Very much in the spirit of "why not" and true to our mission statement that one can never develop too many coats, we've started work on a polo coat.

This one will likely be a buttonless style, going back to the days when people playing polo were much too tired to fasten their coats between games and relied instead on a belt (true historical fact).

In that respect, it is similar to the tielocken.

Big, anyway -- big coat, big cloth.

The back is the part that interests me most: it looks like an inversion of what we normally do on a coat, with the boxy part of a box pleat facing outwards. It's a little different from that, in execution, but it has that look and means that when you tighten the belt, you get some really satisfying folds at the rear.
