I would really like a coat like this, now that all the retired Colonels with toothbrush moustaches who used to wear them have died off. Crombie cloth too :-

Wrong size for me unfortunately.
It's a classic British Warm, very hard to get now except bespoke, at least in the states. I have one bespoke from Chipp, about 15-18 years old. As Chipp ordained, no epaulets-but certainly warm!
