THAT my friend is an e-workers shirt from a few months ago. It's thee coolest.

Which looks mighty similar to this...

So you see, I've got an original theatrical poster for one of Lon Chaney's last films, which happens to be lost, and slowly putting together his original outfit (in mainly repro form) Neat, huh?! Plus! The railroad coat is one similar to what he wore in the film.

 

[BellyTank]

Ahhh, yes- I remember now.

Do you have the cap, as in the poster and photo?

Killer-goriller! What would those norfolk-like straps be called that come down on the front chest?

They are the straps that none dare name. Look like they're hiding pockets, as per the proper Norfolk jacket.

 

[BellyTank]

Yes- adding substance and form to the jacket and hiding, vertical "slit" pockets, for gloves, or perhaps hands.

Yes, I reckon.

Is the Norfolk jacket a crossover garment? A transatlantic agglomeration of function and style?

Norfolk, England or one of the many Norfolks in North America?

 

[Mysterious Mose]

No,no,no! They once were called pleats and you two need to come back to revive the Norfolk jacket thread. This one for is Mackinaws (and Canadiennes).
And when is anyone finally gonna get one of these River Junction coats?

 

[BellyTank]

Yes, yes, yes...
they WERE pleats-

Your own, Exhibit A.

Prince Phil's amazing expanding pleats.

[Mysterious Mose]

Yeah but.
The prince's exploding pants have a forward fold on the forepart.
The other one is the usual pleats.

More "Thunder"; Kromers and Canadiennes:

 

[deluxestyling]

Just bought a stormy kromer...

Went for a red one from http://jrobertsmenswear.com/store/St...my-Kromer-Cap/

Thanks for the link BellyTank.

 

[BellyTank]

Vicariously

You're welcome-
Maybe I should be in sales- or maybe a personal, on-line shopper.
I'd do it for myself but I don't have any money.

[BellyTank]

Yes, I reckon.

Norfolk, England or one of the many Norfolks in North America?

It crossed over to America and was regurgitated as the Norfolk we know today. IOW, what we know of as a Norfolk, today does have some American influenzas. I believe. Read that PDF...

OK, OK, I'll try and get one this year.
Gives me plenty of time...

So, you've got any clues on the overalls and chore coat? Two back pockets, square watch pocket. Chinstrap and non-flapped breast pockets on the coat. I was looking at some repros today, but no cigar so far.

 

[Mysterious Mose]

Grumpy's outfit

I'm guessing something Stifel, like the shirt...kinda makes sense.
Pockets shapes match, two back pockets, chinstrap:

Maybe sometime K.T.& T. might reproduce. Their latest stuff doesn't look so hot.

Another Grumpy dress-a-like:

And another British Railroad Coat:

I fear I've trainwrecked this thread, apologies.

 

[Mysterious Mose]

Cool,cool,cool!

This looked really great
