I was able to grab a few things last night

G - please post fit pics of the double breasted when you wear it. I had that at the register and changed my mind at the last second. Just wasn't sure how I would wear it. Absolutely beautiful piece. The navy Donegal is also a beautiful sc - I went with a different one from bloomingdale's and sort of regret the decision. Cant go wrong with it.

the fabric above versus the one you purchased are very different. The one above is an 800g alpaca and wool blend that is fully lined in shirting weight flannel. I felt that, in general, all our coats needed to be heavier and warmer than last season so I did this to most of them. That said, increased weight for both outer fabrics and lining raises the price. You get what you pay for.

Regarding sleeve length, Our ulster coat has turnback cuffs (like you would find if you made it bespoke withost tailors) which means adding extra fabric isn't going to happen. I tried to compensatefor this by making them fairly long with the thought that its easier to shorten. Obviously we dont want to make the sleeves so long that everyone will need to shorten but this is the first negative feedback I've heard regarding sleeve length on this model. Unfortunately, as with any rtw brand, not all of what we make is going to fit people perfectly.

Good decision to go heavier. What's the expected price of this version? Are all your outerwear fully canvassed as well?

The description of the sleeves situation wasn't meant as a criticism, per se. Standard RTW sizing rarely fits me in the sleeves and my tailor handled it quite well (added 1/2" fabric to the 25.5" sleeve).

People react differently to cold. I can wear an unlined 500g wool coat with a sweater or jacket down to -20 C. That said, I'm happy you are giving Eidos coats heavy lining for AW15. I could always use a stylish coat for those days below -20.

Will NMWA carry the improved Ulster coat? I missed this year's.

heavier weight on your overcoat is definitely the right direction, great to know

Thanks @clee1982. It was just a pair of pants I had on after coming from work. It was not intentional.

Tweedy ..... if only you knew how much i hate to have to sell it.

My tailor and i labored for a half hour on how to make the shoulders work for me (needed to size up for the chest), but he was so floored at the attention to detail in construction, that he didn't want to risk it.

Fabric is also incredible.

Beyond frustrating. I genuinely hope this sport coat goes to someone who can appreciate what they're getting.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
