I agree. The front/back balance is quite good. I'm considering whether to sell it, as I'm rather well stocked up on vintage overcoats. It's a size 37 to 38, by the way.

Here's my latest EBay find. it was listed as being from the 1970s but the label suggests pre 1958 (telephone dialling codes changed in 1958 and the company merged with another at that time):

A fine coat - I suspect it's quite a bit older than 1958, as that style of double-breasted coat had been around in the 1930s (and perhaps 1940s) but was not around in the 1950s; most coats of the 1950s were single-breasted with 3 buttons (if formal, with inset sleeves, if tweed with raglan sleeves) or were of the heavy double-breasted and belted style which HBK has justifiably called "bullet-resistant".
