    Nomex Flyer jacket

    I was working on an informal "buyers guide" to these jackets which I will be happy to send if I can figure out how/where to upload it. It's not complete but it's got a lot of info in it for people new to the jackets. Everyone got the same version. No variations existed at the same time, by...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Knee length or just above the knee is WW1 length - keeps the rain off but can't be too long to restrict the legs or get muddy or snag on low obstacles. They been a blend since the 1980s at least, with their standard 55% cotton mix. They occasionally whip out a 100% cotton version, and you see...

    ^ That is actually a US Navy bridge coat. We have a thread dedicated to those coats only, could you please re-post it over there? Here's the link: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/u-s-navy-bridge-coats.75498/ That piece of cloth is a neck flap that you remove and re-button on the...

    I agree with you regarding polo coats. I think the extra details of polo coats -- cuffs, half-belt, patch pockets, etc -- make these coats look "older" and look better on older men. I have a BB one in camel hair and I have tried it on a few times but have never worn it yet for this very reason...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    The wrist straps are different, but I agree with you, this is the closest-looking coat I've seen!

    Current Alpha Industries MA-1 "Classic" Review

    If it was a size smaller it would look and fit better, but gosh the nylon (in the close up photos) looks thinner than it has been. I've got a couple of USA-made ones (from the 90s) and have had a couple of modern ones (from a couple years ago) go through my hands, and the nylon was pretty heavy...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    ^ great proportions on that coat, Ariel. I like how the double rain flaps on the front are the same length as the yoke on the back.

    ^ most excellent coat Rocketeer, and great back-story! I've noticed on older single-breasted coats they tended to position the buttons further away from the edge to give more overlap. Modern single-breasted coats, by contrast, almost always have the buttons right up against the edge of the coat...

    Here's some photos published today of Prince Charles in his tweed polo coat, which he's had since the 1980s (see the last photo).

    ^ Do whatever you like, but I tend to look to the British royals for how to wear overcoats. The older generations always do up the bottom button.

    My new Buzz Rickson N3-B William Gibson Edition

    amazing that it fits a large man so well, and the shoulders don't have that linebacker look as meacham notes! hopefully they do the same slimmer Gibson treatment to the N2 jackets...

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    I've searched but neither me nor anyone here has been able to i.d. the supplier (as per Peacoat) so it's a mystery. These coats seem to be sold via the DSCP stores or whatever they're called, so the have tags for that, not the manufacturer. Getting one used is probably the only way.

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    That's the Fidelity coat, so therefore not issue. But a big heavy solid coat.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's a US military trench coat (aka the "all weather coat"), which are used for parades and stuff in bad weather. They came in a variety of different colours by service (originally pewter for USMC, now black for USMC, green? for army?, blue for USAF). They're low quality but solid and come in...

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    That photo is from a current e-bay listing, to be honest I didn't pay attention to the details. You could probably make a liner, if you were handy with a sewing machine. Not worth paying a professional tailor, though.

    I'm with Micheal, it's a great looking coat, the belt brings it together, and the quality is obviously very good. I hope you're happy! Do you find a lot of vintage stuff in Russia? or do you buy from other countries? EDIT: One thing, always do up the bottom button on overcoats. Leaving it...
