Once upon a midnight dreary, before central heating and Gore-Tex, men wore overcoats made of wool so thick, so heavy, they could seemingly stop a bullet. (Don't try it, though!)
Chilly Britain is home to many of these vintage overcoats. Here's one (not mine) from the World War II era. Ever seen a modern overcoat as formidable as this?
