[Tomasso]

I gave Thunder a heads-up after I bumped into the live auction while doing some research on Capper & Capper. Maybe he scored it? [huh]

Woah.

Great find. Not my size, but great find.

Finder's fee still applies Marc!

Calling Marc Chevalier....

Calling Marc Chevalier....


Guys if ANYONE knows where a barrel chested stocky prick can get this kind of coat ANYWHERE....I will paypal or whatever at least $50 to the person who can point me in the right direction.

PM me. Please. I am as serious as a heart attack.

I wear a size 46 jacket. I am 5'9" and weigh about 236. Yes, prototype NFL fullback without the footspeed, but all the will and heart in the world.

Help me. I am begging each member.

Similar overcoats are out there. This one (dated either 1937 or 1957) just sold for $5.50

Dang...how do you guys find these so cheap? All the searches I watch on Ebay never have those kind of deals...maybe I'm using the wrong parameters....

[Dinerman]

Or this one for $56

50 dollar finders fee for the 1st person that can find me: love, adventure and a quick, painless death... doesn't have to be in that order.

Hell, same applies to the second runner up

That overcoat for the movie looks like an old JC Penny wool coat that I remember playing dress up with when I was a kid. I remember it being huge and the JC Penny label in the back, we only had the Montgomery Ward catalouge and I wanted so much to order a coat like that in my size, but never saw a coat in Montgomery Ward like it...not that I had any money to spend anyway, but I do remember wishing, I remember trying to roll up the sleves to make it fit better but the cuffs made that impossible.

Remove the belt and the belt loops, and this overcoat becomes pretty close to the "Road to Perdition" one:

Also, just showing off my CC41 wartime civilian 'British' DB Overcoat in blue with maroon windowpane check detailing.

Donny, I found something that might work but we cant post live ebay auctions. Drop me a line so I can send it to you.

 

[reetpleat]

This is ballpark if you ignore the color and lapels.

A very high end coat and it went for a frickin song. [huh]

What a steal. I am assuming, although ebay costs are down, that this was a case of un unsavvy seller not realizing it is vintage and should be listed as such.

Here it is, with the lid to boot.

 

[Mr. 'H']

^^ Nice research Tomasso.

Here's a beautiful heavy overcoat that I tried on in "Cheap" Jacks in NYC the other month. It was a 48-50 looong. Excuse the sneakers, I do realize it doesn't go with the coat!! lol

This coat was geourgeous, I would have loved to buy it but he was looking for $1,100!

 

[Ghostsoldier]

Here it is, with the lid to boot.

Yes, excellent research, Tomasso....those are excellent reference photos, even if the price of 3,500 USD is a bit out-there!

Now...can you find a similar listing for Johnny Depp's windowpane coat from Public Enemies?

[Donny Brasco]

Wolfen PM me - for some reason I can't PM you.

Still looking without much success....

Damn this is becoming strenuous.

 

[Tomasso]

for some reason I can't PM you.

You need to accumulate 15 posts in order to PM.
