Melton has a great reputation...I know this as my Husband's Dress Blues (U.S. Navy) are made of Melton...and for the reason that they say you can wear them doing anything, treat them badly and with a little wash and hang, they can look like new again.I picked this up on ebay. I couldn't resist the shawl collar. It's a 1950s British car coat. It is actually meant to be worn over a jacket etc, but it's a size too small so I wear it as a heavy winter jacket. It has three buttons and for some silly reason I forgot to button the third one:
It's made from overcoat weight melton cloth.
Oh yes, the ascot, super nice pattern and color. Looking sharp.
