As we all know overcoats/peacoats of heavyweight (28oz-32oz) aren't the norm anymore, so I'd like to share where you can find them .

First, I'd look on Ebay for coats from the 1950s-1960s as they look to be more substantial. Other places include:

Hockerty, they sell custom overcoats of 28oz weight which can also have an additional hidden liner added for warmth.
Schott, they offer a 32oz peacoat.
Berg and Berg offered a (very expensive) 28oz Polo coat this year.

Anyone know any others?

Rather than start a new thread, this is close enough. I am in the market for a greatcoat style overcoat. Getting one full length, that is just about six inches off the ground, is nigh on impossible. Walker Slater came highly recommended: https://www.walkerslater.com/ Checking out their overcoats I did find one that appealed:

Walker Slater are a Scottish company and their retail shops are in Edinburgh & Glasgow. That's about 460 miles away from me, an eight to nine hour drive. However, they do have a store in London, which is within easy reach.

The Trench Coat also appeals, but not in this colour. I like the style, (without the belt) but not the colour, I am more inclined to a silver grey. In the UK January is the traditional month for winter sales, that's when I shall make my mind up.

This is a colour that I like, not the coat though, typical Amazon, not for me, thank you.
If all else fails, I shall ask my tailor, John Parrett, to quote me for one made to measure.
If you see anything that has that greatcoat style, do let me know.
