Bespoke guards coat in bottle green with barchetta pocket.
Isn’t that a nice overcoat?
The guards coat
It has line and flair. I think the mottled bottle green cloth (W. Bill) suits the guards coat design very well. Blue, grey, black or brown are perhaps more common choices for the design, but the bottle green shade works as well.
Line and harmony.
Only a blue suit would be a bit difficult to pair with the shade. Grey and brown harmonize with the forest green shade.
Outfit specification

Sturdy overcoating from W. Bill.

It’s a handsome coat. The color on my monitor is muted; I’d almost call it a feldgrau.
You’re right, it’s close to feldgrau, though a tad more green in real life, I think.
Superb coat.
TRC, thanks
