Greatcoats: The Casualenining
Greatcoatgay back again
You may remember I posted a thread last week with an old soviet civil air fleet greatcoat
I had the sleeves tapered, then I changed out the brass buttons for regular black ones and ironed the coat
Very happy with it now, and luckily the weather is getting below zero again this week
Coat looks great but it clashes a lot with jeans
i’ll be real with you anons i got brown shoe polish on my black wool trousers and the only clean bottoms i had left were these jeans
put some black shoe polish on them
Big fan of the sillhouette it creates, and it’s warm as heck
Also able to impress girls with it by letting them hold it and appreciate the sheer mass of the coat
it looks good on you but for the love of god never wear a greatcoat/overcoat with hecking jeans.
Hilariously stupid looking larp, not only that but it makes your hips look like a tranny
Your face here is hilarious, trying to look serious in the middle of a shitty office with a thrifted coat and jeans
You don’t have to scowl to look good in a photo, if anything it makes it look like you have RBF. Just chill out a little bit dude
Mirin thick child bearing hips. I mean look at how hecking wide they are, they go way way past the shoulders width. God damn my Venezuelan grandmother would be jealous of such feminine figure
Hey looks cool as long as it makes you feel good man heck these people
you look so hecking horrible that you’ve restored my self-confidence, christ what an abysmal outfit you’ve put together. that coat is doing you zero favors by the way, like it actually looks terrible and i’d do whatever i could to get a refund on that if i were you.
>jeans with a coat like that
>jeans that skinny
>jeans that make your feet look hecking massive
jesus christ, op. and to think you’re proud of this? why? nothing about it is good, like at all. there are literally no good things about this. everything about you screams "insecure, trying to be unique yet trying to fit in, moderately edgy" and it’s vile
that skinny
Skinny jeans are /fashion/ fatty, that said OP looks like shit i agree.
Looks feminine, looks like trash.
>posts the same coat
Nah. Op wear a female coat.
t. zoomer
Long coats come from the military.
Alright doctor who
>Also able to impress girls with it by letting them hold it and appreciate the sheer mass of the coat
lol
>Big fan of the sillhouette it creates
lol what the heck, the silhouette is massive pear shape, it makes you look like a victorian lady
That’s what men wanted in the past.
looks nothing like pear shape, their shoulders are twice the size of their waist unlike op
That’s an entirely different kind of coat. Op bought something like pic related that is supposed to give a more blocky masculine silhouette. Op probably sent it to an amateur tailor who Frankensteined it to look like a skin tight dress removing all masculinity from the coat
>is supposed to give a more blocky masculine silhouette
No, I think it’s blocky because it’s military and the military isn’t paying for a tapered coat. It’s cheaper to keep it a block, for mass-production.
I wish I could buy that, it look very good
>jeans
>cheap shoes which don’t match coat
>probably not even wearing a waistcoat underneath
>no top hat
>no necktie
ngmi. if you’re gonna larp you gotta do it right
>Also able to impress girls with it by letting them hold it and appreciate the sheer mass of the coat
They’re likely digging it cause it’d make a great dress.
POV: You’re in a mass shooting
Looks like a Matrix gay porn parody.
It is too shapely and gives you a feminine silhouette
you’re just jealous of me because I have the better clothes and a job
go back to slaving away, peasants
massive gay vibes
not even me
i dont want to have to use a trip
going on a date this morning lads
i will be wearing the coat
will be changing the trousers though
nothing that can be done about my feet looking huge, i just have massive feet
will post the fit in a bit
for all the people who said jeans dont work with it: why? i legitimately dont understand, you can barely see a few inches of them
>for all the people who said jeans dont work with it: why? i legitimately dont understand, you can barely see a few inches of them
That doesn’t really matter; if you’re going to the trouble to procure and wear something this unusual (this isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just objectively quite different from most clothes people wear today), it’s expected that you get the basic details right, like not wearing jeans, especially in a fairly ugly wash that doesn’t go at all with the rest of what you’re wearing, and in a slim fit that ruins whatever silhouette you might be going for with the coat. If you were a normie I wouldn’t be surprised you need to ask this, but you’re someone who’s bothering to wear and modify a soviet greatcoat, so it’s odd you’re not autistic enough to know better.
the date fit
this coat has already felt the warm embrace of a woman, which is more than can be said for many posters itt
i am a normie with autistic characteristics
i didnt get the jeans thing, but now that i’ve seen it with these instead i see what you mean
looks weird
looking good unbuttoned. i’m a fan of the silhouette. as long as you aren’t pairing this with any other milsurp or doing anything remotely LARPy, you’re fine
Did your date take this picture
>"okay yeah can you take a photo of me?"
>"who are these for? your friends?"
>"yeah yeah something like that"
>this coat has already felt the warm embrace of a woman
the only thing you are missing at this point is a fedora
>le quirky dapper numale
How hot was your date?
you could carry a katana in those pics and it wouldnt look out of place
embarrassing eugh
>for all the people who said jeans dont work with it: why? i legitimately dont understand, you can barely see a few inches of them
These military-inspired greatcoats aren’t supposed to fit that snug. Here’s mine.
Is that a Tagliatore coat?
Indeed, it is, good eye (I suppose the lapel pin gave it away). It’s from.. 3 or 4 seasons ago but they still make them, pretty sure the model name is "Aviator".
How long did it take to grow your mustache to that length? Im growing mine now and its taking forever
I’ve had a beard for the past 10 years and never shaved the stache off; I honestly don’t remember, probably a couple of months to get the fuller chevron shaped Magnum PI look (which is a lick longer than picrel). It does grow faster as I get older tho.
Yeah I recognised it from the lapel pin, I bought a Tagliatore suit around 2 years ago. Nice style, I also tend to wear turtlenecks with overcoats although I go with double breasted coats with large peak lapels.
I’ve also been trying to grow out a stache for the past couple of months, going for a Magnum PI style. I’m not quite there yet but I’m only 21 so I’m hoping it’ll improve in time. Excuse the mess near the chin, haven’t shaved there for 5 or 6 days.
Looks quite good
Thanks.
The back looks like this:
also stop samefagging it’s obvious and embarrassing
You look like you’re wearing a dress. Ridiculously feminine silhouette, triangle instead of an inverted one. Probably skinnyfat with wide hips, where are your shoulders?
lol this boy thinks he’s a tough suave gentlemxn
The post-modern usage of letter x as a replacement for vowels always made me chuckle.
missing belt maybe have one built in
what a hourglass figure, my mother would be envious
AFAB bone structure
>those jeans
ngmi
Wearing your sister’s coat who’s smaller at the waist than you are because you were running late for work, didn’t have clean wool pants so wore your 2009 skinny jeans with too much inseam so rolled the cuff but now exposed that they’re poor quality jeans showing they’re of poor construction
On top of your plastic coated elf on a shelf shoes
Get some Alden’s real leathlooks best
op here, first time i’ve posted since i made the thread
watching people roleplay as me and argue with each other is bizarre
the shoes are loakes stupid, that’s what polished leather looks like
loake are the lowest of the low tier shoes you can buy hecking poorfag
>wear leather shoes
>they’re leather shoes
>poorfag
welcome to /fashion/
>watching people roleplay as me and argue with each other is bizarre
it’s the same two spergs: iberian and tripfag
nice damage control,gay
>get some Alden
Lmao
Seethes about loake but thinks shitty alden with mexican-tier qc is any better
So this is what happens when the weird sperg in high-school gets a job. You forgot your fedora and katana bro and your anime t shirt
Imagine this loser walking in with a dull decorative Naruto katana to keep as his cubicle for “self defense”
why the heck did you wear rolled walmart jeans with that I can’t
I love the coat, outside of maybe the shoulder seams, but those jeans look hecking horrible with it anon. Like legitimately awful. Just about anything else would be better. Get some navy or black cotton chinos if you don’t want to deal with taking care of wool or think slacks are too dressy
Shit like this is ridiculously hard to pull off.
A coat with raglan sleeves, a non cinched waist and single breasted is better imo.
Picrel.
single breasted coats look like old man coats to me, and i specifically like double breasted coats so i can button it over either direction
raglan sleeves do look nice
>single breasted coats look like old man coats to me
Ironically, I feel the exact opposite, double breasted wool coats make me think of 60 year old businessmen, I like double breasted tenchcoats though.
What company is this? Have a link?
Its vintage on ebay.
Dont ever buy a new coat unless you go for some high end designer shit that is unique, second hand stores are literally packed full of long coats.
>clown shoes
you know what they say about men with big feet
This would make sense if you were a rockstar or something. Maybe even going to a techno club in Berlin, if you paired it appropriate.
You look like a dork half LARPing in steampunk clothes that give you a feminine silhouette for zero apparent reason.
The coat itself isn’t inherently bad – just very bold. It needs to be paired with all black, and minimalist clothing. This piece stands out, so it should be the only piece that does on the fit. The fit is androgynous, which makes sense if paired as though it was meant to be.
I’m about to put on my leather duster and go play magic the gathering, and I’d still be mogging.
Where to cop a similar corduroy coat? This looks peak comfy

Todd Snyder makes a more modern version that’s moleskin.
that’s a great coat anon, looking good!
where did you thrift such a coat even?
I’ve got a newer greatcoat myself and it’s made from part synthetics, wish it was just wool and cottoncotton
and disregard all the sexcore shitposters, they’re really funny
I love these, It’s a complete rejection of gen Z moron tier sports, or "street wear". It reminds me of the coat Alex wore in a Clockwork Orange during the record store scene. Most of the Mexicans on this board wear hoodies anyway and will never resemble anything more than a background character in a sea of shit
Go to sleep op
>gen Z moron tier sports
Have sex
>It reminds me of the coat Alex wore in a Clockwork Orange during the record store scene.
Might be a tad too much, unless your overall style is fairly eccentric.
Op what i you only buttoned the top
I have to be honest and tell you I think it looks silly. First of all, this looks like a 19th and not 20th-century greatcoat, which adds to the main problem of it looking quite obviously dated. There are a lot of fashion retailers that sell modernized great coats (officer’s coats) that are shorter, have more modern cuts, and have modern features. You should save your money to buy one of those if you like them or try to tailor yours to look more like them.

Notice how there’s only two sets of buttons, mimicking modern peacoats and overcoats and how this is slim fit but the silhouette is basically flat from armpits through hips, and also how the length is much shorter.
Why are your shoulders so narrow and why do you have such wide, curvaceous hips? Also no offense but you look like the Babadook sans the top hat.
why are you wearing a dress? lmao
Nice coat, but awful trousers. Stop wearing jeans unless you’re a construction worker.
I’d smell her beaver cloth if you know what mean and I think you do
>Skinny little chicken leg midwash jeans with tiny cuffs
>clown shoe derbies with polished captoes
This guy is actually not wrong about the skinny legs. I know you can’t do anything about having big feet, got the same thing, but you should really start going to the gym and lifting. You have a pretty narrow frame, very skinny legs and your torso is a bit small atm which is why some people here are taking the piss out of how your coat gets wider round your hips. You don’t need to get properly jacked but a bit of muscle would definitely go a long way.
>which is why some people here
It’s literally one samefag.
Nice dress bro
I hope OP’s at least partially joking
Why are your hips so wide
looks better on me
>sneakers
>crew neck shirt
reeeeeee
Apart from that, it does suit you.
i like your coat i think it would be cool if i wore something like that one day
sry for dirty mirror, its dried paper towel
Can you pull off a coat as a 5’7 manlet?
I don’t remember this episode of The Office.
Don’t listen to the haters op..
The extremely protruding pear shape looks quite iconic. Its based because it challenges gender expectations, while the skin tight jeans confront conservative backwardness. It perfectly encapsulates non binary orientation in a subtle yet effective way
gay
Get back to work, wagie.
I’m not paying you to take photos for an anime image board
Thoughts on this fit?
