BK: I like the fabric and cut of the one you posted, but aren't all the pocket pleats a bit much? I suppose you have more room to stuff a handkerchief though. Nice finds, everyone.

Jovan said:The lapel shape seems pretty '30s, on the other hand. Perhaps that was intentional.
That lapel gorge isn't nearly as low as some that I've seen from the '80s... which all looked really unbalanced. So do super HIGH gorges that many fashion designers make now. Maybe it's just the angle that's tricking me.Forgotten Man said:Sorry, I beg to differ... that coat is 80's. The 30's had more of a curved wide lapel in most cases, and they weren't cut so low. This isn't a bad coat to wear but, it kinda says Miami Vice to me.
Keep up the search, you'll find good stuff.
