Original 1930's JC Penny Railroad Coat

[Iron Horse]

Regarding reproing this one, I wonder if Whitefeather Mfg. Co. would be interested. It's certainly up their alley.

I'd love to see a write up of them around here. The buffalo plaid mackinaw has been calling to me for a long time.

Update:
I scrounged up an ugly old blue blanket with the same width and density of the Railroad coat material. I'm going to begin the pattern and mock up jacket today. Im aiming on sizing it up to a 42. Lets see what comes of it.

I was looking at that one but couldn't justify the price considering what I just spent on the original. That's why I'm planning on making a repro. I was also playing around with the idea of a really class dress coat version done in cream wool, brown leather reinforcements and a red silk lining.
