When I was 16 I received a Loden King Duffle Coat aka a Lodencoat for christmas, I have worn it every time it snows for 50 years. including the day after Christmas this week. I can't kill it. on the other hand i guess it does not snow all that much here in eastern Virginia.<br />JohnJohn Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512045620459824292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-64286361839884673232010-12-29T11:00:10.816-08:002010-12-29T11:00:10.816-08:00Mike- You near Hamburg?

I'm thinking of asking my tailor to add a Bemberg 1/2 lining on the shoulders and upper arms of the Gloverall. Worth it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-47992863760740914902010-12-27T07:40:58.949-08:002010-12-27T07:40:58.949-08:00I had an old RL duffel coat in a dark plaid from t...I had an old RL duffel coat in a dark plaid from the thrift shop. it was like IRON! weighed a ton. had to give it up when i moved abroad, as there was a limit on what I could take.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-74468365119731786302010-12-25T12:22:12.149-08:002010-12-25T12:22:12.149-08:00G.

Too bad, in Germany you won't find shops like the ones you buy your stuff (Or I haven't found them...). Thank you for your great work! All the best to you and your family!

Thanks very much for the...Have a great Christmas G.<br />Thanks very much for the joy I have discovered in your blog very recently. Who knew I'd enjoy reading about men's clothes? (I read your enthusiasms & miss my Dad, who would have been old enough to be your Dad.) Aside from loving your love of what-to-wear & all the info you share, your voice is warm & entertaining. And you have re-invigorated my strong Thrifting gene. All the best from Nova Scotia!<br />KathleenKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920922154575116718noreply@blogger.com
