I found a like-new British Infantry (dismounted) greatcoat from 1956 at my local military surplus store. It's awesome. Slightly wide in the hips, because I gather it was intended be worn over some kind of equipment belt, but I don't know for sure. Lots of flaps and buttons.
I'd chill in the trenches, but I feel like strutting in overcoats in general because they look so good to me. I guess it depends on the day I have or my mood. Thanks for these informers, this oddly is my kinda thing. The music, the feel, plus the fashion I always liked growing up.
I recently picked up a late 1800s-style frock coat. I've never had so many compliments on any piece of my wardrobe. Get you some clothes that are structured, and bask in it, folks!
I prefer a pea coat. Especially one made pre-1960 of 100% wool and with corduroy lined pockets! All the benefits of a great coat, but a bit more practical for my liking!
I wish I could find a coat that’s stylish and flexible. I’m often working outside in the cold and rain, but I ended up tearing my last pea coat because it wasn’t flexible enough in the shoulders.
love this genre of content that's just super passionate people telling me about their hyper-fixations. Don't think I'd pull off either but damn, you've got me excited about them.
Hmmmm. I wonder if we will get Great Coats if we get a Fallout game set in Russia or Canada or some cold places like that. Makes sense why we got the trench coat in Fallout 4 tho, the weather was sometimes light rain as well as it mainly having a spring or fall atmosphere. Honestly dude you are a damn good fashion expert.
I didn't need to know the answer to this question but since I've watched the new fallout series, RU-vid's algorithm has been suggesting all sorts of old fashioned things for me. My favorite coat was a peacoat that I got from jcpenney nearly 20 years ago.
I have an old military great coat and it's impregnated with some soft of water repellent. It keeps it from getting soaked but it stinks like hell after a walk in the rain. It kinda smells like when you try to wash dry cleaned stuff in your regular washer (which I obviously never accidentally done).
I was today years old when I put two and two together on the “Trench Coat” origin. Never thought about why it was called a trench coat, but it suddenly makes a lot of sense.
As good as greatcoats are, trenches are distinctly saturated environments. That wool will only keep you comfy but for so long in an environment like that.
Interesting. Is it a modern definition then for topcoats to be worn directly over shirts, whereas overcoats are sized to be worn over jackets? That's what I was always told about their primary distinction.
Trench coats are not traditionally cotton. I am very surprised that you said this, as its in the first paragraph of the wikipedia article. They are traditionally wool. While "garbadine" has come to mean any heavyweight* fabric in a twill weave (so often cotton or polyester now), it was, when invented by Burberry, specifically a wool twill impregnanted with extra lanolin to make it waterproof. It was, in comparison to the greatcoat, quite light, and hence not a singular winter coat. *Well, what a modern consumer considers heavyweight. I have a coat in a wool twill that is quite heavy, but it's not as heavy as your greatcoat there would be
Quick question if you don’t mind answering, is there a name/term for coats that are ankle length (as opposed to knee length, which is shown here)? My understanding is that’s part of the larger category of “overcoats” but I’m clearly not an expert.
Question, (with some background info:) i once found a leather duster type deal that was (seemingly) leather, and lined for winter. Never did manage to find that again, or anything like it. So, do these trench or great coats come in leather, and lined? Cause i need a coat that'll keep me warm, dry and lightly armored 😅 Bonus points for keeping me stylish too 😀
I don't believe you are not from the year three thousand, who happened to grow a liking to the late medieval ages, the 20th century and our modern times
