Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

[Fletch]

First of all, a 'rep' who talks down the company that he works for in any form, isn't likely to be a reputable source of information.

True. But neither is a rep who is fully loyal to his company. He's just as likely to dish a competitor unfairly.

It's that kind of business. You use every advantage you can. [huh]

Feraud on St Pat's Day

This is not my Burberry but here is me doing what I do best.. lounging around and eating. These are early a.m. post St. Patrick's Day.

No...Lounging Around and Eating with Style...FL Style!!!

Paddy -that pic, that coat....:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[PADDY]

Feraud's eating to my health!

St Paddy's...that's MY day!!:eusa_clap Looking very sharp there Feraud, you wear the style so well!!

Feraud, Looking good! What is the name of the establishment where those photos were taken? It looks very familiar but ...

BTW, I took both Burberry's to the Burberry shop at Northpark Mall in Dallas yesterday. I can replace the missing wrist strops (their term), belt, and epaulets for $75.00 + tax. So I ordered those pieces. I'll have a complete coat for under $150.00. Not too bad when the price on a new one in the shop was $1795.00 + tax.

When they come in, I'll have to 'age' them to decrease the color difference due to wear, cleaning, etc. between the new pieces and the coat itself.

They also confirmed that the 48Reg I bought originally is European sizing. In the US/UK, this is a 38Reg. Looks like I'll relist it on OFAS later today.

Burberry Trenchcoat (on the silver screen)

This was done using my digital camera which has a movie option that lasts all of about ten seconds. So I thought it would be fun just to do a quick piece on the new Trench Coat
It's all a bit rushed, but gives you an idea. Seems to be naturally in sepia too!![huh]

Nice vid, Paddy. Well delivered, too - sounds like you've done your share of presenting in the past. It could almost be an introit to one of those 'historical / local / style interest' type stories they do on the evening news from time to time. :eusa_clap

 

[Jovan]

I agree!

 

[carter]

Ditto!

Nicely Done. :eusa_clap

You look great Feraud! Are those photos taken in an automat?

 

[Feraud]

Yes, the second photo was taken at a new automat called Bamn! on St. Marks.

Very cool! I'll have to visit it when next I am in The City. My father used to wax nostalgic about automats so they seem quintisentially New York City to me.

Great! I'll have to make that stop the next time I'm in NYC.

The first automat I ever saw was in Raleigh, NC. We thought it was the wave of the future. Now it's caught in the tidal pool of nostalgia.

Thanks!

It's very short, but it was fun to make!

Gun (and trenchcoat) for Hire!!

This was when Burberry were doing a special promotional deal where if you bought a trenchcoat for over $1000 (US), they threw in a free silver screen goddess!! Not bad eh!!

And a few more trenchcoat movie stills to satisfy you trenchies out there!!
