    Proportions of a Coat

    Man of Lint: Actually, no, mirror taken into consideration, the coat clearly buttons left over right, and there is not much tapering on the actual garment. Saturdays: I clarified that I wasn't dressed up for it, I am aware that these coats are not made for a simple v-neck.

    Proportions of a Coat

    Well, I have searched for a camel coat for quite some time. It seems impossible to find something that is great for less than 500, which I was about to spend, until I found this vintage piece. It has never been worn. It's perfect condition, the design is lovely, from the buttons to the peak...
