Long, double-breasted coat, made in London, with heavy (27oz) woollen melton from West Yorkshire — a replica of cloth woven for the British Army going back to Victorian times — as well as dark horn buttons from the Midlands.
Waiting
Sold out almost if not entirely, this, by the looks of it. However, it might very well come back again some day — albeit likely in different cloth, or with a tweak or two, here and there. To be notified as soon as the time comes around, kindly please send word to .
Sizing
This is a big coat even for big coat standards, with sleeves as wide as some trouser legs. It is intended to fit easily over a considerable number of other garments, including but not limited to shirts and knitwear and jackets. Please go down a size if layering requirements are not so steep or for a less commodious fit.

The method of sleeve construction, with the sleeve cut as one continuous panel from neck to cuff, means the shoulders accommodate and drape smoothly over human contours of every shape and size — rendering a shoulder measurement both impossible and irrelevant.

So they say
The coat is magnificent: the photos don't do its stature justice. When I put it on for the first time I felt like the coat was wearing me, rather than vice versa, as a sea of melton engulfed me. I am even tempted to use it as a blanket due to its shear size and heft. I look forward to seeing what the frigid winters here can throw at me with this by my side.
First time getting it on and going out: it's almost ridiculous how good it feels being in the cloth. Every time I thought of it I almost started laughing when walking on the sidewalk.
I just want to thank you for your help to purchase the coat. It is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life. The melton wool is perfect, and the colour is magnificent.
