i want to buy a plaid pea coat/trench, anyone know about?

I have been looking for awhile now, and missed winning one on ebay a few days ago. The jacket was kind of a mixture of the two jackets: plaid, two classic vertical chest pockets, two flap waist pockets. Classifieds may have been the better place to inquire, but i don't think that sections moves a lot, and was hoping that maybe I could jolt someones memory whom may have one tucked away somewhere. I am a 38-40.

You can buy a new plaid pea coat from Schott. Dont know about older coats.

Lost Worlds offer one made from some hardy vintage fabric.

Yes, maybe it's a Mackinaw you desire.

Here's another:

...and at $220, less than half the price of the Lost Worlds.
A nicer style too, in my opinion.

thanks for the help so far. In my own searching over the past couple of months i had turned up the Schott, and the LostWorlds' offerings, nice but they were not exactly what I was looking for. This is the first I have seen of either Mackinaw, which are nice as well. I was looking for an older coat, maybe something out of someones closet.

The coat I was bidding on was labeled (vintage 1930's ~ 40's early Dubble Duty Co, Plaid Mackinaw Aka U.S. Work Wear brand Company
I would never have let the coat get away (well within reason), but betwee school, work, nieces, blah blah... I forgot about auction.

here are a few pictures
