Awesome coat. This "action back" is a tremendous asset and prevents tearing the lining around the arm, something that happens more than ofter with my coats.
Cheers!

Well, I ordered mine today. Straight pockets (with overcoat-strength innards), self-backing collar, and a flap on the breast pocket. No tab at the collar yet. If the cloth is still in stock, it's going to be made from a 17oz Saxony.

Here's Henry Pooles take on the idea, based on an original example.
Also quite nice (although I think the embossed leather trim is a bit OTT).

Only the leather trim? :roll:
Now, I will be very disappointed if I find that Costi's jacket does not have an inside pocket for indexed spark plugs. :)

Hectorm, it has the towing company's phone number embroidered in the lining...
In cab yellow!
