Oviatt's Trenchcoat

[YETI]

The Most Famous Slacks In America

Thank Marc and Mose!

I took Mose's advice and got this;

This was from a Jan 3rd 1953 L.A. Times Ad. Obviously not the same trench coat, mine was made in Italy. Nevertheless it's worth sharing.

and I own a pair!

I have this sort of system in a few of my coats, which are probably from the 50's.

On one side you have a tightening mechanism that is locked by flipping the metal flip on the other side. Now that you have flipped it it acts as a holder for the opposite side.

The opposite side simply has a rectangular wire shape and it locks on to the holder.

I think it could be safe when somebody pulls you hard by your belt or it grabs on to something like a car (you catch my drift) and while it does the belt will unlock.

Not only that, it's easy to take on and off.

Locked

Unlocked

From the front

And the catch / opposite side

That would be ideal if I can find one! Thanks!
