At bloody long last. It’s cold enough for coats and jackets.
Mens coat: Scotch and Soda. Similar from Asos (get 1/2 sizes up), Trousers: Trash and Vaudeville. Similars from Karl Lagerfeld, Mango or Asos, Creeper loafers: Mango. Similars from Saks, Maison Martin Margiela and Urban Outfitters Bag: Coach. Shirt: JBrand. Similar from Equipment. Giant Pin worn as a brooch: From one of my vintage kilts
This is a mens coat from the mens section at the Scotch and Soda sample sale earlier this week. It’s traditional looking enough to clash with anything girly and oversized for slouch.
I wore it with creeper loafers (love) and old T&V pants to check out a vintage shop I visit when in the area. It’s on 7th street in the east village. Shame those whiskey brown Docs were too small or I’d be wearing em right now as I type this.
ps. Thanks a mill Sinead for that comment posted under my ‘Tea Break’ post below (fingers crossed on the nail bracelet).

I feel you. I live for the Fall when I can wear my boots, leather jackets, and layers. You look fabulous AND comfy in your plaid, herringbone, and patent. I always love what you wear. XXOO

thank you Jean. I know finally we can pile it on. Course watch we’ll be complaining 4 months in about how sick we are of coats..

I love this look and the added detail of the safety pin on the collar. So cute! Loving patent shoes at the moment also.

OK question – how long is the safety pin, because i am so inspired by this post (i know, a year later……it lingered on my mind for that long) and wanted to do a similar style with one of my shirts. many thanks hunny!
