Buttonless 1940s British Overcoat

[herringbonekid]

this type of brown-cream herringbone with multicolour fleck is one of the nicest fabrics it's possible to have an overcoat in.
i wish i had an overcoat of this fabric.

Yes I had some swatches in last week of some 700 gram herringbone dotted tweed in eye watering colour combinations, including the above and a silver and pale grey herringbone with pale blue dots, just amazing stuff. I am making an Ulster in it in a beige and brown herringbone with a rainbow of dots.

Thanks for the heads up, it's beautiful... I want it to get cold now.

Anton (in between fox trots with the lovely Erin!) Get a few snaps of you wearing it please! I was tempted but just a tad rich right now for these pockets.

 

[AntonAAK]

Will do.

Nice one. Maybe you could put it on and come along to the monthly London meet-up on the 22nd?

 

[AntonAAK]

Can't do this one but will try to get to one of these meet-ups soon.
