Definitely. I'd have a hard time wearing it here in Florida, but it looks beautifully made.

Thats actually a US Army issued item, from WW2. I have one, and it has a Quartermaster label in the pocket.
The one in the auction is only the second one I've seen. I believe LW makes a repro, as well.

and, it's for sale. I had new buttons put on, and it's been pecarded to bring up the highlights, but, the leather is in fine shape, as is the lining.
I wear a pretty regular size 42; I need 19 1/2" across the shoulders to be comfortable and this coat is. I just don't wear it much.
$220. PM if you are interested.
