Do you think a chesterfield in a tweed fabric would work with a velvet collar? I guess the standard for chesterfields would be hidden buttons?

Absolutely, even though I would choose a classic herringbone pattern.

Forgot to mention that I did end up buying the coat. I think it fits the mannequin better than me, but I still love it. (Pardon the spots on the mirror and the slight distortion)

I dig this man. It reminds me of De Bonne Facture's "Grandad" coat, just with set-in sleeves vs. raglan, and the other trench coat details.

Going for full canvas suits/jackets is a certainty, but what’d you think when it comes to overcoats? Is it worth paying extra for a full canvas overcoat, instead of a half canvas one?

Nice fabric and length, but the shoulders kill it for me. Raglan would be better like traditional trench coats.

Disagree. I just dissed the coat. I was wrong. It looks terrific on you. A bit full. If you have access to a
brilliant tailor, he/she could reduce the fullness a bit. Don't give it to a tailor who only does
rudimentary work, eg. cuffs and taking in trousers, etc.

I love these coat threads. They make me wish I still lived in the climate for overcoats. Moved
to the San Francisco Bay Area from Chicago just over 30 years ago. Wore one of my overcoats
locally, maybe twice. It is 5:30 PM and 51F, 10.55 celsius. I still have a Burberry Bal in a tight,
water repellent Loden-like cloth and a Melton monster of a greatcoat from Invertere. My 32 oz
British Warm, which looked like it went through both world wars after many years of wear, was donated.
