Overcoat????

[Cabinetman]

Hi, fellas. Ladies. Say, what does one wear as an overcoat and maintain a spiffy appearance? I, of late, realized I don't have anything for temperatures above 40 degrees that goes with a nice hat. I am thinking long-waisted, but what is there? What is period or, at least, period-looking? or, Is a trench-type coat basically it?

Not really going for any particular look, I am just looking for something different (and better looking) than a barn coat or leather jacket. Neither really suit or look good enough.

Thoughts and suggestions please.

Hey, Cab...

I think that a traditional car coat might fit the bill. It's a little dressier than most casual coats, but not quite as formal as a trench coat. I was thinking about jumping on this one , but my girth exceeds their inventory! A Google search on "Car Coat" will probably turn a number of them for you to look at. They are said to be very popular in Europe - especially the U.K. Happy Hunting!

How about a Navy Style Pea-Coat or a Duffle coat.
