I think the Etna cloth would make a spectacular overcoat. It's only 20 oz. though.

B., isn't there a risk that a partial lining will let the coat cling to me, though? Anyway, I kind of like the idea of a really heavy coat.

It's got some lavender in it, apparently. I hate lavender.

The lavender seems quite subdued. I do like it tough.

Any interesting details on yours? I'm considering cuffs on the sleeves, and a belted back, but it might be too busy-looking on a shorter coat.

SB, flapped patch pockets, belt and a frogged collar. (at least that's what I'm thinking now)

Mid thigh length.
