The cloth this time will be from an old mill up in West Yorkshire. It won't look too different from last year (or the year before, or the year before) but is lighter in weight. My ambition is to make the coat more useful for more of the year, whereas previous ones have been formidable winter juggernauts. (The exception being the hopsack from which your Mr. @Patrick R's peacoat is made: that is much alike with the weight of this year's peacoat cloth).
I can attest to the very functional weight of the version I own. I have heavier coats for the ugliest of days here in Chicago, but the S.E.H. Kelly peacoat is very functional for me on most of the days between late fall and early spring.
