Friday Challenge: It looks a little like a Crombie...

[Man-of-Mystery]

I’ve been trying to get a picture of this coat for the past few weeks. I usually wear it with more formal clothing, but here it is worn casually. I usually don’t tie my scarf like this either. I thought about not posting this, but here goes. I got it from Lands End a few years ago for about $120 on deep discount.

Well that's an entry, AAS! Thank you.

First post quotes 22nd December. I later extended it to 12th Jan. If you can get into the first post and edit it for me, I'd be grateful.

Done.

Muchas!

Black Crombies are very versatile...

Merry Christmas one and all !

Gerry, I don't think I've come across a coat like that before. What can you tell us about it?

It's a single-breasted coat made by LBM 1911. The fabric is unusual. This is a close up:

What would you like to know?

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

Well, that's certainly more than I knew. Maybe that will do. But if you want to tell us more, e.g. about the fabric, please do so. We have to make sure this doesn't turn into a discussion thread, though.

All know is that the fabric is a wool and silk mix.

Is it a Crombie? By brand name - no. Is it a single-breasted overcoat - yes, worn in London during my last sojourn there earlier this month, as I went out to a holiday dinner at a private club in Marylebone. An added extra - what was worn underneath the coat . . .

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

Thanks upr!

Not looking - even a little - closely or at a distance like a Crombie though...
