[The Good]

Sharp coats, everyone. Here are a couple pictures of that London Fog overcoat I posted about earlier:

I just picked up this Moss Bros. Harris Tweed, raglan sleeve overcoat. It appears to be dated 1976.

That is truly one nice find! Even if it is from the 70's, it has a very classic and timeless look.

Yes, and the shoulders seem to be in decent shape; a rarity with vintage raglans as most have been stored on ill fitting hangers which lead to deformities in the shoulders.

Great one Two Types.

Here the 30's Barker coat I received from Two Types (Thanks!).
It's a pointy lapel belted herringbone fleck. :eusa_clap

It fits me good (sorry for the mannequin photos only - it is much easier to make good photographs that way), reaching below the knee.

Now that sounds like a familiar problem to me. Most overcoats that fit me in the shoulder/chest/waist area tend to end roughly at my knees. I've yet to come across an overcoat that really fits me top to bottom.

This one looks splendid. Really love those flecks. :eusa_clap

As promised here are some pics shot this weekend. What we have here is an Ulster Paletot in our ancient Milanese tradition. This is something very special you don’t see very often.

Also, for your information, I reveal you about our new Tumblr page that will be ready very soon for all you Tumblr users.

Check more pictures of this overcoat at our own website: http://muselladembech.wordpress.com

Here's my old Harris Tweed overcoat I got second hand for $20,

I think its from the 20's 30's because the shop it was sold at is still around and the owner told me they stopped using this label in 1932 when they opened another shop in Vancouver.

I love this coat, the buttons are leather, the lining is satin, and the pockets are lined with velvet
And if anybody is an expert with Harris tweed Here's the label, its the oldest one i've seen.

I would think that you are accurate on your dates with that coat. Lovely piece.

Here are some more photos of my 1931 Overcoat.

It was made in Chicago, by a company/person named 'C. A. Lundberg', for a fellow byt he name of "G. M. Beard"? The coat is dated "Nov-5-31". My favorite part is that my father was born Nov. 5, 1969. I had no idea this was the date when I purchased the coar, I only knew it was dated 1931. It does have the usual Moth-munchie attacks, and some tears, but it very wearable, and heavy. It is really warm too. I think it may weigh around 5 lbs, but am not sure.

Justin you have quite the collection going! I'm liking all I see from you!
