    Coldest Weather I've been in

    ^ Those are insane numbers. I haven't experienced anything colder than -30C wind chill, and around -23C actual temperature. On the positive side, a couple weeks of those temperatures should kill the pine beetles which have been devastating forests in the Canadian west. Invasive species don't...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Environment Canada website, today: Flurries or local snow squalls. Local blowing snow. Local amount 5 to 10 cm. Me, looking out window, today: "Oh look, it's sunny and clear."

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    That's gotta be unpleasant for Van residents who aren't used to serious cold. Prairie people, and norther Quebecers, on the other hand...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Ward Bond in the film "Prison Break" wearing what is likely a vintage Burberry coat to judge by the details.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    ^ Further to that post of mine... We got a blast of snow in November which melted in 24 hours and nothing since, with freakishly warm temperatures for this area for this time of the year. However, that appears to be changing this week...

    Good spotting, thanks. I just posted what the guy had in his description, so he's got it wrong!

    Help indentifying French Military Overcoat

    The word "coupe" on the tag is French and the sizing is French too. From spending too much time exploring French firefighter coats, the number 96 is roughly a 38" chest or a Medium, although French military and paramilitary stuff seems to quote the minimum size, so the 96 is the smallest chest...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    ^ What good photos. Does anyone recognize the bearded old man in the trench coat? I'm guessing the mayor of a French town recently liberated at the end of WW2, but I don't know.

    Help indentifying French Military Overcoat

    What is on the face of the buttons? Are they blank/smooth or is there a symbol or something?

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I came here to comment on Tom Wilkinson and I notice that we're posting about political figures in this forum, now? With that shift in mind, can I have the moderators' permission to post the late Anthony Bourdain's excellent summary of the late Henry Kissinger's legacy and importance? Thanks in...

    Overcoat Shoulder Fit

    Not to flog a dead horse, but if you look at the rear vent it's not hanging straight down, rather the ends are being pulled apart. That's another indication the overcoat is too snug, in this case over your hips/butt. Having said all this, I suspect this overcoat might fit decently over a...

    Overcoat Shoulder Fit

    I think it's too small on you. Note how when you button up the coat and stand with your arms at your sides you can see how the button is being pulled/stressed. On an overcoat the buttons should be closed but not stretched like that. That means it's too snug around the waist. Note also how across...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's a screenshot from a Joel McCrea film (I think it's Foreign Correspondent) which shows what those little flaps are on the upper chest of trench coats. They are often called gun flaps, but I call them wind flaps. Although McCrea is not in focus in this image, you can see how when the lapel...
