Civilian Conservation Corps Mackinaw Coat?

[Ishmael]

Wondering if anyone has any info on, or old pics of, CCC Mackinaw Coats?

Have been checking out this CCC Mackinaw Coat from Buzz Rickson. Great coat. Is this BR a faithful repro?

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on one of those. Bit warm for it down here now, though.

I should've added that I tried it on today at Mushmans. A REALLY beautiful coat. I tried on the BR P Coat as well, and was far more attracted to the Mackinac. For one, it is a change up from the rather ubiquitous p coat. But it also just had a great fit and silhouette. Definitely chilly enough to wear it here!

Plus, being from Michigan, as well as a historian with a long standing interest in the CCC, this coat really draws me in!

The other one I'd love is that BR12270 "Aviation Associates Coat's Aircraft Transport." Did you get a look at those?

I've seen it there before, but haven't tried it on. Headed back on Friday, if you want me to check it out for you. Looks like they have a S and L. Can perhaps take a fit pic of me in the L.

That would be cool, but don't go out of your way.
