So what the verdict on a beltback cord jacket. Does it look golden era or 70s? I still shy away from most corduroy garments but I guess it would work with the workwear look. So I am curious....

the back is good. the front looks a bit like they tried to avoid being any era.

here's another saddle-bag pocket cord, different back to the previous one:

Size 38 Rugby RL jacket on german ebay. Might be an option for european loungers since shipping from the US would add at least 30$
Would look fine with light colored trousers.

I've got 2 Rugby belt backs, both under $50 outlet finds.
They're great. I'm sad that label was discontinued.

I saw one in a charity shop a while back (for £25). I looked at it and wondered whether anyone would want it. However, the front just looked too modern and was not at all attractive. Definitely not desirable (in my opinion).

German ebay has this in size 42 (euro 52) or a little smaller if the seller measured correctly:

Not that cheap but nice thick fabric, pleated pockets and a good button stance. Could do without the elbow patches though

Not bad - the color on the last photo is probably closest to the truth (olive green). The others appear more greyish.

Not a beltback, but nice front (except maybe for the high gorge):

Tweed RL beltback size M on German ebay but shipping from austria. Might be interesting for european loungers.

Yes, I had my eye one it, but I am unsure about the measurements. 43 inches pit to pit doubled seems too small for a 41 inch chest, even so, perhaps the seller didn't extend the fabric fully when he measured it.

 

[Patrick Hall]

Investigator1947 is a pretty good seller. I've found the measurements to be spot on with the several suits I've gotten from them. You can always send them a message to verify. Two inches of ease in the chest for a modern RL jacket sounds about right to me.

agreed.
