Nice

1950s, almost definitely originally part of a suit

 

[Orgetorix]

Here's a modern one with a good bit of 1900s influence.

Who made that one? Looks like something RRL or one of the Japanese repro brands would do.

 

[Dinerman]

It's by a company called Messagerie.. The cuff buttons are functional and go all the way up to the elbow patch.

^ That's a nice looking coat, Dale. Thrift find?

 

[dh66]

Thanks. No, I found it at www.tarantulaclothingcompany.com on clearance. Now if the weather will cool down a little.......

 

[Fastuni]

Fantastic shade of brown, Fastuni. Not one you see these days. Patch pockets, too. Excellent! A great looking coat.

I'm a three button fan. Nice one.

Fastuni, I like the simplicity of that jacket.

 

[Mathematicus]

I think that's a really great coat!

Late 50s atomic/rock-n-roll style. Even has patch pockets. Sort of a holy grail find for me, they don't come along in size 48long very often. I love the upholstery looking fabric.

Behold the plaid. Not vintage, I just liked the look.

Brilliant jacket. I love that cut, and the pattern could be dressed up or dressed down. Very nice indeed!

One I picked up nice and cheap from Ebay. Really interesting. Not dead old my any means, probably 1980s at the oldest. Peaked lapel, 4 button, 4 pocket (although the breast pockets are false) with a full belt. Cotton, half lined, by 'Parkes'. Never heard of them myself.





I really like it. It has little-to-no inner construction, the shoulders are very soft, and it fits fairly well.
Maybe the Ebay listing does it better justice.

The only issue is that the leather/cardboard buckle on the belt has disintegrated. Anyone know where I can get a similar replacement. Or if anyone has one lying about I can buy off of them?

Thanks Eddie.
Your new one there is a nice one. Reminds me a lot of the old 40s/50s Hollywood style.
Good color, too
