Deffo a "winter jacket", the alpacka is through the sleeves as well. And no extra hairs on my shirt. Pockets OK. Handwarmers snug but bigger than in the Bauer Alaska parka and going "down"... got an Orvis cardie jacket the pockets go "up" and everything falls out 8p And inner pockets on both...

Well, I'd say their XXXL B-15A is "just right" for the size. Long enough sleeves, long enough body and doesn't "flutter". Yes I know I should change the handle to "FatHairyFinn" :D They have the measurements on the site, I'd "fit" in the XXL but I wanted some "sweater & movement" space. I had...

Here in Brighton theres quite a few "ladies" who are that build... :p

I got a "Fight Club" in ox/red... Original weird stiff leather 70's with square(!) buttons. Just love it, though people miss the joke when I wear a hawaii shirt with motocross dirtbikes with it :D

Oh man, thats just fine when you go dancing with the Black Shadows in the Yoyogi Park in Harajuku. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KFaqFgq0JOY Note rude dude's leopard... The bowler however - totally inappropriate:eeek:

Umm, stumbled upon this. I'd call it "my coat" but mines not especially a rain coat - it might hold off a drizzle but here on the Channel its "buckets" when it comes down. So its a "balmacaan"...I think Americans would call it a "car coat" though? At least the length is somewhere above the knee...

Ah, thats interesting. I ran across a genormous Cooper A-2 that was something like a 58.. Schott used to do that weird hybrid with sherpa lining and side pockets... The Coopers are really "thin" as most Schott stuff weighs a metric ton..

Some two- row coats have buttonholes for both sides. I think its a small feature that accommodates the left/right hand preference. If I think I am right-handed and want to get something from an inside pocket, I'd open the right side (my right) and reach in. Obviously if I was left-handed I'd...

I suppose Burberry, but I just can't figure out their sizing. It seems like euro numbers but even then its "all wrong" [huh]. I think "Mad Men" caused a bit of a renaissance on "London Fog", but as far as raincoats go the polyester one I got is my most used coat even I get quipped its a...

I have a Cooper... Ummm... This gets weird. I thought the modern milspec goatskin I had was a Cooper, but theres an Avirex tab in the pocket :eusa_doh: I've been trying to clear out my jacket collection and finally get a "proper" one, my problem is I need a 52 or so and a long. An Aero dark...

The first rule of the Trojan Leather Sportswear Club is you never talk about the Trojan Leather Sportswear Club :D

We are the "Men Who Stare at Goats" :D

Yeah, Orvis sizing is a bit weird. Problem is I'm a "50L"... their XXL has a 54-56 chest in some jackets, a 50-52 in some... and the sleeves are 3/4 :mad: As to their pricing, I go to Orvis.com the price is $479 and Orvis.co.uk and its something like £459 [huh] I'm looking at their stuff...

Nice find! Actually I'm saving those photos as reference as thats the style I like... having gorilla arms ;)

Noticed as I was selling an A2 that I had downloaded my Duxford pics onto there. .. oh well, while I am at it Duxford, near Cambridge, UK - Worth a visit ;)
