Leather Trenchcoats
Mr. X ---> "Be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes!" Started conversation Aug 24, 2009
I have trouble finding these at an affordable price (for obvious reasons). Most of what I do find is for women, and/or has buttons up the front instead of a zipper. I've already been to several websites, including ebay, and I still haven't found quite what I'm looking for. Can someone tell me where I might find a leather trenchcoat (for a man) that has a zipper and an inside pocket? Also, if at all possible, under $100?

Gosh I don't think I've ever seen one with a zip instead of buttons!
London street markets are a good source. Not so good if you're not in London, granted.

Yeah, that's not going to do me much good I'm afraid.

Buttons only, I'm afraid

Trouble is, is proper leather costs a lot, straight off the cow (as it were). You then have to make it into something else, and the man-hours are expensive.
A proper leather trenchcoat will cost a lot of money. Secondhand will be your best bet.

Leather will go under a sewing machine, as my sewing machine can testify.

it's about 10yrs too late really. You need to wait for another communist country to go under and then you'll be ok. The glut of ex-military clothing in europe following both the soviet union collapse and the reunification of germany brought some very nice leather trenchcoats onto the market! I remember one particular CDT teacher at school who went for the full KGB look with his!
I guess there might still be some if you look at ex-military retailers? Although again unlikely to be zipped, but then you can always add a zip yourself.

swl I always wonder when you turn up with links like that whether you deliberately go and look for them or have them bookmarked?
