The Commuter Coat
I have to confess, this is a new one on me, turned up whilst trawling Ebay Com. for a decent polo coat (at a decent price - nothing much doing so far, especially as this fucking government insists on levying $40-plus dollars for the privilege of allowing it into the country). The first commuter coat I saw was made by Ralph Lauren (in Macao, I think, so I wouldn't be interested anyway) and looks to my weary, wary eyes not unlike a chore coat. I'm probably talking bollocks but has anyone on here chanced across such an article?

Re: The Commuter Coat
I’ve seen plenty of coats described as commuter coats. Usually they’re like a hybrid mid length trench/parka.
Cut and collar like a trench, with medium padding and a hood either grown on or foldaway.

Re: The Commuter Coat
Is this a new hookline for a car coat perhaps?
Marketing coats as car coats died off as soon as cars had decent heaters as standard.

Re: The Commuter Coat
Thanks, chaps. I think Woof has a point^ about car coats. They do not look especially alluring.
