British Army Green Authentic Great Coat by Crombie

Posted on | Leave a comment

Crombie

Frustratingly, some of the best winter coats (for men at least) are also the most expensice. As this  Crombie British Army Green Authentic Great Coat demonstrates. But all might not be lost.

It certainly is a stunning item, an authentic recreation of a World War II military coat from the Crombie archive, originally supplied to the War Office for officers of the armed forces.

This slim-fitting coat is packed full of detail, including handcrafted chalk-filled brass buttons that feature the Crombie crest and raw wool cloth discovered in a mill in Yorkshire which is 'faithfully replicated in military hues'. £795 is the price right now, but Crombie is known for generous sales, so one to keep an eye on over the coming days.

Melise Faux Fur Coat from Boohoo Pink

Melisefur

With faux fur coats all the rage once more on the high street, most designs have focused on a mid sixties look or earlier. If you're feeling braver in your vintage look apparel, this Melise Faux Fur Coat from Boohoo Pink taps into a later sixties look to bring something out of the ordinary.

The coat's oversized cut, along with longer fur fibres, creates a more extreme silhouette. Tapping into the decadently trashy aesthetic of Edie Sedgwick and Nico, this coat speaks of a later sixties retro appeal that's less often seen from mainstream brands.

Get it online from Boohoo, as part of their Pink collection, for £70.
