The Overcoat Thread

I’m not sure about the material actually, it’s heavy though I think they quote 30oz?

Ah, I thought it might be from the second run they did with PS. The first year was camel and the second was this large herringbone donegal, which matched up with the Balmacaan from that year.

Either way it looks great, even causally like that.

 

[clee1982]

Oh yea it’s the 2nd version, just check the PVW Balmacaan version, weight is a bit lighter on PVW one vs the Anthology one.

By the way the herringbone is not strictly black/white the “black” is very dark brown

Edit: I also tried on someone else’s MTO navy version when I pick up my 4x1 DB sport coat. if someone needs a more formal version the dark navy is definitely the one to go, don’t know how much they upcharge for MTO though (I would have gotten the navy had I not already over loaded in navy in general)

The coat looks really cool. I would definitely pop the collar and lapels when wearing, though. Makes for an even more slouchy look.

I have too many overcoats, and I'm out, but this one looks great and the price should be reasonable. The auction ends tomorrow. Someone should pick this up. It's for auction from LuxeSwap.

Anthology herringbone coat, definitely more “structured” in shoulder relative what you just posted


There are 2 on BST by the way, though they’re the camel hair version

Very nice coat, which fits you perfectly, as I see. Lovely cloth as well.

Can you post a pic wearing a pair of shoes/boots you see yourself wearing with it?

Since we're partly talking about proportions I'd wanna see what it looks like as you'd be wearing it, and that little bit of extra height matters.

Posting this q both here and in the cloth thread b/c the two have some non-overlapping participants:

Looking for heavy, very wide herringbones.

I know Marling & Evans makes some lovely 720g spongy herringbones, and I'm not against going in that direction – but really I'm looking for something wider.

Even this wouldn't be too wide:

Any recommendations?

Got ma coat. Experimenting with pressing the lapel line lower to the bottom button. Any tips are appreciated

If you want a coat like this, why even bother having it "made bespoke"? I'm sure you can get a better result from ordering MTO a few sizes too large from SuitSupply or Spier, and at least you'll have some level of craft in the tailoring and relatively right proportions. From what you described and seeing your other "bespoke garments", it looks like your "tailor" is far from a real tailor and what you got might be something glued together, and even if you only paid something like $400 for the labor it is a ripoff.

Good point, and I considered it.

I gave him my Ralph coat to copy. I figured that would have the best chance to replicate the same design and silhouette that I already like.

I can attest to none of this being glued together, but it is likely machine stitched.

Black leather Trench coats give a nazi officer vibes. I would not wear such a garment in Europe

Amazing coat at an amazing price. Those FL coats are beasts. They do run small. I had one and had to sell it for the same reason as this person, too small after consideration.
