FS: Scottish tweed check raglan overcoat 42L (44) (channel your inner Windsor!)

SOLD pending payment

Straight from the pages of Apparel Arts...



is this very similar Scottish check overcoat:






According to Tutee in his London Lounge essay:

Quote:
He [Windsor] simply saw the original garment in the window of a retail store in Edinburgh, like it and went inside and bought it. The Prince first wore the coat in London a year ago and others were not slow in taking up this fashion. The coat was originally made up in llama type fabric and it is a short, loose fitting raglan sleeved single breasted fly-front topcoat with a blunt, stubby peak lapel. [quoted from Apparel Arts]

This is rough Scotch tweed with fly front, peaked lapels, raglan shoulders and turned back cuffs. The loose fit is an important feature here.

The coat offered here differs in some ways. There is no fly front and the collar is balmacaan style rather than having peak lapels. There is also a very useful working collar/lapel button.

Asking $75 shipped in a Priority mail flat rate box, CONUS, Paypal please.

Tagged a 42 Long, it likely would work for a 44 as well:

Chest, underarm to underarm: ~25"
Interior sleeve measurement (from pit to bottom): 16"
Length from bottom of collar: 43"

As it has raglan sleeves there is no defineable shoulder area or exterior sleeve measurement from the non-existent shoulder. I can provide any other measurements on request.

Please note, the center button on the front has come off, but is still with the coat. It is in the pocket and will be an easy fix to sew on.

That is one spectacular coat. Truly looks like something right out of Apparel Arts!
