An Overcoat fit to be seen with a Borsalino Homburg

[E-P]

I was fortunate enough :eusa_clap to find a beautifully cared for black Borsalino Homburg.

So now I need the perfect fall/winter overcoat to go with it.

All hints, suggestions, insults, foul limerickslol :, or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks E-P

Dark gray double breasted with a fur collar.
How's that sound?

Sounds great where can I find one, that's the most important part of the equation.

A single or double-breasted Chesterfield Coat. Usually, but not always, with a velvet collar.

You might want to try ebay. Vintage overcoats are usually one of the least expensive pieces of vintage clothes.
Also, I'd recommend looking towards vintage army overcoats (East German and the like, especially ones in gray). If you replace the buttons, and remove the epaulets, if there are any, they are close to old civilian coats, in super heavyweight fabric, for not much money.

What size do you wear?

I think perhaps a coat like the one I posted awhile back in this thread would be emminently suitable. I don't know what coats of this style are called, though.
