Looks like the double-breasted polo coat is missing from the Brooks Bros website...
I have one of their polo coats. you need a picture of it?
strange... a Polo coat thread on the wardrobe, a British Warm thread on Take Ivy...
What's going on?
There's one on eBay right now:

The camel hair fabric looks lovely and, as Chicagoan, I see the value of the plentiful cut of the coat. A fantastic coat to have for waiting for the train or a taxi. One of the things i rue is the fact that my fellow Chicagoans do not seem to enjoy the very heavy wool fabrics which have such wonderful body and texture. A pity because they are quite utilitarian as well here.
Bloody hell, where did you get a photograph of my grandad? A Shell pensioner if ever there was one.
It's a nice coat. He made one previously with a heavy herringbone donegal in pale beige that was very nice too.
