looks like military surplus


Thanks for following up. It was from the Lanvin H&M collection few years ago. It wasnt appealing to me back then since I was into cropped coats. But now I've grown up and feel like knee length coat suit my frame better so I was looking for one.

Would you guys consider this coat as a wadrobe staple, that could be dress up or down (with suit or with jeans & thich knitwear)? I understand it's no where near crombie quality but I can get it for pretty cheap <$100.

I have one like that except it is in a green tweed. The cape is lined in a plaid flannel.


Back in my youth the J. Press store off Madison had one on display.
My guess is that it was a sample item for their Bespoke operation.
Where did you get yours?

I have an overcoat that's being made up right now but it's neither classic nor very warm. :(

Just discovered this thread and, even if slightly off season right now, it deserves a bump in view of the winters to come

Looking to get some feedback and second opinions on this overcoat. This is my first foray into the world of longer coats. It's made from a Magee tweed (the same one used for last year's Ring Jacket raglan coat).

I had the coat hemmed by about 4 or 5 inches, because with the original length, the coat was brushing against my shins and calves, and thought I might be entering old man territory. Also had it taken in slightly in the body, as it was very roomy.

Thoughts?
