Thread Starter 
The cold weather lately has me thinking about classic men's coats. This thread is to serve as a dumping ground for inspirational photos and illustrations, as well as a place where we can discuss fabrics, silhouettes, RTW makers, as well as custom projects involving classic men's coats.

Here are a few images to start us off.

A video of an E. Tautz number. Ignore the California kit.

Great thread. Overcoats are awesome, and it is surprisingly hard to find the perfect one.

I've got one almost exactly like this that I love. Vintage PRL, weighs a ton and is super warm.

What about the classical British Warm?
I had one from Chipp (Winston Tailors) in the 80s made from 32oz Melton Cloth.
It was distictive in not having epaulets and served me well during Chicago
winters.
