An Ivy weekend classic, the Field Coat has been a staple of the Ivy/Trad wardrobe for decades. The most famous version of this is, of course, that which used to be made in the USA by LL Bean, but those iconic coats are, alas, no longer available in their original configurations. (Although I often have examples in stock!) This coat isn't a Bean, but Brooks Brothers take on this classic. Cut from lovely thick cotton, this features three exterior patch pockets, all pof which are flapped, and a lovely tattersall check lining. It has a corduroy collar, and thick oversized buttons for ease of closure when it's cold. It also has a D-ring in the interior shoulder--I assume to use to hand it up. (This, by the way, is a nice design detail; very masculine in looks, but with greater holding power than the usual chains or leather strips used as hanging loops--so it's ideal for those times when you hang you jacket up with things in the pockets!) It has two interior pockets.
This jacket does have three minor issues. First, the bottom button is snapped in two-but since you;'d never use this anyway it doesn't matter much. Second and third, there are two small snag holds/frays--one on the sleeve, and one by one of the lower pockets. But these are minor, and add patina! However, owing to these flaws this coat is in Very Good condition, and hence just $30, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost.
Tagged XL, this measures:
Chest: 27 1/2
Sleeve: 24 5/8 (c.37 when measured like a shirt)
Shoulder: 23 1/2 (designed to slope down into the sleeve)
Length: 32 1/2
