Road to Perdition, Tom Hanks Polo Coat - NEED HELP!!!

[mike]

I'm only at 13. Well lets keep the dialogue going then.

How does that make you feel?

 

[Donny Brasco]

pretty ****in insignificant actually...

can't a guy catch a break?

at any rate, just scored a nice black peacoat from Sterlingwear of Boston - can anyone say Boondock Saints?

 

[Dinerman]

Unfortunately the sleeves on this one are too short for me,but stylewise, it comes pretty close.

 

[Tomasso]

****in

[bad] None of that here, Boy.

My humble presentation....

Glum because I can't find this polo-style coat that Hanks wears.

It doesn't help much that I have a 48 inch chest.

Maybe I should diet down, because pretty much all these vintage coats on eBay are cut for matchstick men....lol.

I just threw down the gauntlet to the folks at filmjackets....let's see if they step up.

 

[Donny Brasco]

Jeesh....can't someone help a guy out?

Donny,
I hate to sound negative, but unless your willing to drop some MAJOR coin for a custom job your size, then it ain't gonna happen....that coat will have to be reverse-engineered from some kind of existing piece, and then those resulting patterns modified to closely match the Hank's article, and then it will have to be custom-made...all of which is time-consuming, and none of which will be cheap.......I'm estimating in the range of 1,500 to 2,500 USD for that type of work and materials...

Man, I wish they could make the Sterlingwear Pea Coat a full length and cuff the sleeves - then it would be REALLY close. It has the nice wide lapel and heavy feel. Very warm coat.

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Just for edification; another view.
