you say about true ww2 duffle coats being to big on you… but this is total rubbish !!!!!! i own two. .one like above a 1943 version.. and a 3 toggle version 1941.. with brass studs in the hood. i a 6ft 1in tall and slim build.. the 1943 version the arms were a bit short by about 1 inch and it is tight to put over my back when first putting it on .. the 1941 version fits like a glove on me. so if you are reading this buyers of real ww2 duffle coats beware..!!! always ask the seller for the correct measurements as these coats are not massive at all… not any larger than other vintage coats…
As you may know, I have a substantial archive of magazines, books, and photographs related to menswear from the late 19th century through the present day. [more…]
