Overcoat - Green or Brown (Pics Incl.)?

Green

ET - love that design. I'll be doing something very similar next year with a W. Bill heavy camelhair. Between brown and green for that design I'd go with brown, but that's just me. If you think the green works well with your existing wardrobe (especially trousers) and you'd "want" to wear it a lot that could be a fun choice though.

Both are exceptional but I vote for the green

Thanks guys. I'm surprised by the # of people who voted for the green.

Only dweebs and low level workers wear double breasted these days. Same with wing tip shoes. Don't believe me?
Go to any surburban commuter train station in an upscale area like Greenwich where I live and observe what the men are wearing. Double breasted and wing tips are for Podunkians

So true. I'm pretty low-level so, happily enough, this works out well.

Do companies even make that size for Men? Never seen it, only in boy's shoes.

Interesting design.

I'm currently awaiting an exact same overcoat. Mine will also have a half-belt in the back.

Classic polo, right? BB has one in camel hair I gotta get!

Green. I think that fabric would be somber enough for business.

- The coat is made by Cantarelli. I have seen it IRL & it's even more beautiful. - Now my answer to OP's question: I think brown would be suitable if you'd like to play it safe.
