Please identify these wool coats

I just watched the 1966 Burt Lancaster-Lee Marvin motion picture, "The Professionals," again. Wonderful entertainment. In the movie the four professionals wore identical olive drab medium weight wool coats. Coats appear to be double breasted, with buttons, belted cuffs, and full belt. Please identify the brand and model.

Parenthetically, Ralph Bellamy was wearing a narrow ribbon, fawn-colored hat at the beginning. While I believe it was an "Open Road" design with snap brim, I would also be interested in its identification.

I have no ability to obtain graphics from DVDs. I searched the web for graphics and found none of Lancaster, Ryan, Marvin, or Strode in his coat. Nor did I find any of Bellamy in his fawn-colored hat.

Naphtali-
If you play the DVD in your computer, it's easy enough to make a screen grab, even without any screen grabbing program.

Just pause the movie whre you want to make the "still" and hit a "print screen", the "PrtScr" button on a PC, then paste it into anything, like Photoshop, Windows photo editor, Paint, etc(edit if necessary). Then just save it appropriately and upload it here. Easy?

I have done it this way to get photo resources for my own costuming projects.

I'm intrigued...
Please make the effort.

Before I posted I attempted to obtain screen shots several ways -- whole screen capture (command-shift-3); defined capture (command-shift-4); and ScrapIt Pro. What I capture is solid black, regardless of the method. Perhaps the DVD has some sort of copy protection. And yes, my Mac OS is old.

Strange- I used to do something like that on my G3/OS9...

"Print screen", on a PC,(surprise, surprise)takes a snapshot of
whatever your screen is displaying.

If there's a paused movie on your screen- you'll have a picture of it.
Simple as that. Then you can edit it in whatever program you wish.

Strange it doesn't work with your Mac.

Strange but true. Tried with and without pausing.

The overcoats in that movie were the "club" model by Humphrey Littleton. :rolleyes:

Many thanks for this information. I just did AltaVista and Google advanced searches for more on Humphrey Littleton's location, but could find nothing pertinent. A host of hits on a house moving company in South Carolina, a musician, and a seventeenth-century aristocrat, but nothing on point.

Is Littleton still in business? Is the coat still in production?

Tomasso, I apologize if using the word "please" offended you. LOL. Great nostalgic photograph. . . . You're a cab.
