Yes or No? And why?

Horrible looking thing. This looks great - bit left field though.

RB5674 Guthrie Coat
This example was made for a British Army Officer currently serving in Iraq, he researched his regiments history in Iraq in WW1 and found that this jacket was popular amongst Officers and men for wear during the cold desert nights. It was not an issue item but instead made by regimental tailors for those who could afford one.
Deciding that he wanted something to keep himself warm during his tour of duty he commissioned us to make this for him. We extensively researched this coat with the client and are confident that this is an exact copy of the originals, it is made from an extra special quality Hainsworth wool that is very heavy, the khaki color has a distinctive brown hue to it as did the originals, a grey flannel wool lining is fitted. The buttons are concealed and two flap pockets are fitted outside and a document pocket inside.
The jacket is what we term a 4 piece construction and has a centre vent at the rear. To order only 10-12 weeks delivery.
Museum Quality. £295.00 any size.

I've got one, but it's got buttons instead of a zip.

I like this style a little better, the button flap pockets on the bottom just look cheesey to me.

I don't like the exposed zipper.

You're probably asking in the wrong forum. That looks more scruffy rascals than MC.
