    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Here's Eddie Somethingorother in a fancy overcoat. I won't show a rear view because the back/undersides of the sleeves are in a shiny lining material (which makes no sense) but the overall cut of the coat is rather sharp even if only a skinny person could wear it.

    Barbour wax jackets

    ^ True comments, sadly. Part of the scam from these venerable old brands is to offer a "heritage" model built to the original specs. That tells you all you need to know about the non-"heritage" models in their lineups. Regarding waxed jackets in particular, one can pick up a decent quality...

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    The Northumbria was made from their "heavyweight" cloth and it was pretty heavy, large-weave stuff. I had a Solway Zipper 20 years ago that was also made from the same cloth.

    Barbour wax jackets

    In keeping with Barbour's business strategy of gradually cheapening their products while massively increasing prices.

    General thread about quilted-jackets

    ^ Good observations as always, Edward. Regarding the origins of these jackets, it's actually well known... here's some links: http://www.husky1965.com/en/history/ https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/quilted-jackets-guide-buy-history/ https://uknews.orvis.co.uk/10859-2/

    General thread about quilted-jackets

    Alex Baldwin wears these sorts of jackets often. I pulled my older Barbour out of the back of the closet on the weekend and it fits great since it's the older Liddesdale model with a shaped torso, although an other inch in the sleeves would be preferable. I'm tempted to try make one myself.

    Vintaged Schott Perfecto

    ^ That's pretty normal, after all leather doesn't get thrown in the washing machine each week like cotton clothing does. I've gotten some pretty yellow water from nomex flight jackets thanks to oil, grime, etc. If you think about, now your jacket is clean.

    No jackets in this video, but what the hey... cockpit view of a B52 landing.

    Vintaged Schott Perfecto

    I think it's kind of ironic that jackets that are pre-distressed to look vintage haven't had mold and love stains and other stuff added... c'mon people, authenticity!!!

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    My general sense is that you're correct, that modern high-end coats are made from a tighter-weave cloth that is probably more waterproof than in the past, but is also stiffer.

    General thread about quilted-jackets

    I see what you mean; around my parts affordable quilted jackets are usually worn by slaughterhouse workers (in the cold rooms) who are usually min wage workers. The only other people I see wearing them are the "ladies who lunch" at the other end of the economic scale obviously.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    No, you're right. There's no blue in it. Calling the cloth blue is just a historical legacy thing which shows up from time to time in clothing. The clothing industry is run through with weird terminology and labeling.
