Show Us Your OVERCOATS

Below is my favorite overcoat. It's British, no label, and the construction and quality point toward the 1930s. A Donegal herringbone tweed -- dig those colorful flecks! Plain back.

And here's one from a local Goodwill. From the later 1930s, I reckon. The wool has heathery variations of Fall colors, hard to pick up in the photos. It has the weight, density and slightly fuzzy texture of a horse blanket. Plain back, no half-belt.

I just picked up four of them the other day. One is dated 1950. I'll get some pics.

[Marc Chevalier]

Yes!

Nice coats. I have a couple to post and also some other stuff. I need to get the time to take some pictures.
By the way, what's the difference between an overcoat, a topcoat and a greatcoat? Are they just different names for the same thing?

My Oxxford, dated 1956 on the label:





Eldridge/Rothman's camel hair polo (don't know how old)



More to come...

Interesting ... your polo coat has a collar that's more typically found on an Ulster coat. Like it!

This mean I have to pull out my camera again?

I have several vintage though always tend to wear my moderns... hmm. Fine.

Look what I found!

I rarely go into this thrift shop, because it's picked over so much. But look what I found on my visit last week! The wool coat is in perfect condition and was $5!! The only thing I love more than the coat, is me wearing it!

<snipped non-overcoat comments>

Happy happy me.

I have a couple. Nothing fabulous like the other ones on here. None of them are very good pictures of them, either.
