Thank you David,
I'll take some time to decide, I'm still wondering if it's better to leave it as it is,

The two coats on this post are stunning.
I hope that I would come close to this work

I'll pass your kind words to my taylor.
I know that, if I lived in North America, I'll be in the safest hands bringing a lenght of cloth to you,

Dear Screamin,

good to take your time. There are several such items in my wardrobe - when some tailor did not do what I wanted. Things happen, such is life. I have decided to make peace with such items as they make me remember that we cannot control everything 8)

Cheers, David

...I'm trying to post up my version too. Same tailor - and a familiar cloth!

I don't know if it´s just me, but IMO a bridge coat looks much better in a solid or heather color with a simple pattern like herringbone at the most. The texture of the cloth and the construction of this naval inspired coats is what should speak for them.
