The Bookster overcoat

Back in July I ordered a pseudo-Chesterfield overcoat from my friends at Bookster.  I’ve been impatiently waiting for quite a while for its delivery, but today was the day. And I was surprised that today was the day, seeing as how the package tracking insists that the coat is still in New York, which it clearly is not.

It’s a very dark, nearly black, herringbone Harris tweed, single breasted, peak lapels, velvet collar, fly front (four buttons, owing to my height), with a very vivid red lining.  In addition to the normal inside breast pockets, I had them sew in a “poaching pocket,” it’s a large internal pocket where the cell phone/cigarette pocket is in a normal jacket, sized to accommodate a cashmere scarf.  I think it’s going to work.

Now for the Wooster suit…  :-)
