The melton tobacco is an incredible cloth and scandalously underused, it is true.
I am sure either the peacoat or another coat will make use of it again next year (but not this year). We do have a couple of cloths from the same mill which are the same in spirit, too, including a heavy barathea which we've used for the field shirt and dress trousers. It comes in a tobacco-adjacent colour which, while quite different to the melton, is similarly rich in colour and great in texture.
