    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's a couple of official images from Aquascutum. The first photo shows their classic Filey raincoat, still available, hanging alongside two of their more modern shorter trench coats (they still offer a long traditional trench coat, now called the Bogart, as others have posted about previously...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Burberry coat, good condition, mostly. It's hard to tell condition from photos but if you look at the components/ingredients tag you can gauge how much wear: that tag will be fully legible on a nearly new or lightly used coat, but on a well-used coat the white lettering rubs off as in the photo...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    Thanks for posting this, which reminded me to take a look through their site again. I'm pleased to see they've upgraded their photography considerably: they used to have just a 3/4 view, but now they've added front, back, side, and detail photos of each jacket, which really helps to show off...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Some scenes from Foreign Intrigue, which I'm halfway through watching.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    ^ You got lucky, man: that's an excellent coat and you should have paid a lot more! I was going to say the button config is the later version, but you found the tag which proves it. As to the different manufacturers, it's possible the coat and liner weren't issued together but one never knows...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I now have a single-breasted Burberry raincoat like Philip's above, except mine is navy blue, and it's old enough to have a foot tab (although the button is missing for that). It's pretty close to mint, even the lettering on the % components tag has not rubbed off. It's got the original owner's...

    eBay sucks

    Without e-Bay, selling your gear would take even longer. Just sayin'.

    The original "Wild One"

    It's a really good sociological study and shows how perceptive HST was in those day. He makes it clear the Angels were losers, long before they stomped him.

    U.S. Navy bridge coats

    Some info from one of our members: I checked the USN regs and Pers-329-MEB A2-3, issued 2/14/1947, included a reference tp officer uniform changes: "Black sleeve stripes on overcoats are no longer required."

    The original "Wild One"

    He put hundreds of hours of thought into it, and discussed it with dozens of friends he'd never met!

    The original "Wild One"

    Great info Gamma68, thanks for posting. I see what you mean by no one wearing biker jackets, but the police aren't either, and a lot of the citizenry are wearing just t-shirts, all of which suggests it was really warm weather. On a side note I'd be willing to bet that many early bikers wore A2...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Prince Philip a few days ago at his last public/official engagement. It was raining.

    Royal Canadian Navy intermediate flight jacket

    There was info on these jackets posted in another thread around here somewhere, try a search. Edit: here's a post I made which was info I saw on another forum http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/famous-people-in-flight-jackets.67540/page-64#post-2216007

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Thanks folks, for the info re Eccleston. For some reason I had in my head the idea that he'd quit because he thought the whole enterprise lowbrow or something (must have been something misleading which I read a long time ago). I'm glad to learn it was a principled choice.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Early marketing document for the film "Dirty Harry", which was originally slated to star Sinatra, before he backed out. Nice raincoat.

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Does Eccleston have a hate-on for Doctor Who? I'm sure he's done other work but I haven't seen it. He should have done the job for three seasons, say, and cashed the cheques like most actors would.

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    Oh heck, I should have known that one! Thanks.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Scenes from the film "Desperate Journey", 1942. The jackets are odd, might be the B2, but look more like a non-historical design whipped up the costume department.
