Greatcoats - The Fedora Lounge
2015年11月23日 · 4,086. Location. Cloud-cuckoo-land. Maybe you'd be better off looking for a long wool ( vintage) overcoat on the bay rather than a military greatcoat, otherwise you might end up with a ' Jack Harkness' look rather than that of Sherlock's urban chic.. Last …
Any way to soften a stiff wool greatcoat? | The Fedora Lounge
2010年3月9日 · I just acquired a WWII RAF WO Greatcoat (also a really cool Belgian Greatcoat). It's awesome but of course VERY heavy, stiff and scratchy. Is there any way to "break it in"? I've read some posts around the net about soaking wool in hair conditioner but I definitely don't want to try it without getting some first hand advice first! Thanks!
How to properly clean and care for a 1950s greatcoat?
2014年11月15日 · Welcome to the Lounge, Earl. A 1950s heavy overcoat, and a C.D. Greatcoat at that, is not an antique by any standard. I'm not saying this to contradict you, but to put your mind at ease. C.D. Greatcoats of that era are built like a tank and will outlive any of us. A good dry-cleaner will do wonders with a coat as well-made as this one, and I'm ...

Belgian Military GreatCoat Review | The Fedora Lounge
2007年10月9日 · The greatcoat itself is a very thick wool and quite heavy. In fact, the weight of the coat bent the hook of a wire coat hanger straight after it was hung up on it for a day. It will most definitely keep you warm in a cold blizzard. One surprise, at …
N.F.S. Greatcoat... knowledge needed | The Fedora Lounge
2013年11月14日 · A pea coat is much shorter - car-coat or even jacket length (it should, of course, cover the jacket if one is worn underneath). A greatcoat is long enough to cover the knee, so the excellent coat you have been writing about is a greatcoat.
Greatcoats | Page 2 | The Fedora Lounge
2015年11月23日 · I believe that a greatcoat may be suitable for more than casual wear, depending on the color, condition, and styling. I do agree that some greatcoats are too open under the neck, which requires a scarf or something heavy underneath to make up for it. For this reason, I prefer those with 8 - or better yet - 10 button configurations.
World War Greatcoats - The Fedora Lounge
2020年10月27日 · I've been hauling around a great uncle's greatcoat for decades and think I'll actually wear it this winter for once. Am incapable of posting photos but was wondering if someone could clue me in on whether it's likely to be WWI or II vintage-either is possible. It's camel colored, mid-calf length and fits my 5'7 frame perfectly. 5 rows of ...
My new 1947 French army greatcoat | The Fedora Lounge
2008年11月5日 · Hi all, I just bought this unissued wool M47 pattern French army greatcoat from an ebay seller, stored for many years and brand new, all it needed was a machine wash on a wool setting to get rid of the musty "army" aroma. The French military produced this greatcoat as an exact copy of the WW2 U.S. army pattern, mine has brass buttons with ...
