Critique my dad's old overcoat

[Lucky Strike]

Just had a new lining installed, so it's in fairly good condition. The shell fabric seems more or less unwearoutable. Labels inside from UK outfitters Dunn, West of England cloth. Would be mid- to late sixties, I think.

That fabric is very nice, but from who did you receive, the wine?

love the fabric. you could probably get a more solid critique of fit if your stance were more revealing.

Art opening. Tip: They're an endless source for bad, free wine if you have nothing better to do.

Beautiful!

I have an sports coat with the same fabric, with leather buttons and patch pockets... sweet

I forgot to mention, the collar looks very good for standing. At an art opening, if you want to drink, is it necessary to look at the painting?

Looks pretty good albeit a touch too big in the shoulders, a common problem seen with raglan sleeves.(or is it shown being worn sans jacket)

Once I went to an art openning with several exposers....

One of the girls was so pretty I spent most of my time watching at her paintings ( among the worst ) and talking to her while drinking the cheap free wine... I had a great time

I like it a lot. love the tweed fabric and the lapels are nicely shaped/sized.

wear in good health!

The only stalk I have is on the apple I brought for Teacher.
Have you seen him lately?

Thanks - I'm just wearing a shirt and a thin sweater underneath it in the photo above. It works far better with a jacket. And thanks, all! Seems I'll continue wearing it...
