This product is AWESOME. Yes it does smell of linseed or some such when you unpack it. Mine cleared up with about 2-3 days outside. Now hanging in my closet with no odor whatsoever. The 2X Tall fits me perfectly. (6"6" 250 lb). The wool liner is fabulous extra touch.

Great looking coat. I really like all of the new reproductions that you have of early 20th century items. Thank you so much.

Handsome design, rugged construction, medium is a good fit for me at 41" chest, 6''2", 34" waist. Hits at just the right sleeve length. Can probably wear a coat underneath. Cotton twill shell is heavy quality and in true khaki color; okay cotton flannel lining, serviceable woolen liner can be removed, oil cloth interleaf creates that army surplus store smell, but has a charm of its own for some of us. Largely goes away with steaming anyway. Knot the belt behind you to customize the fit at the waist and this trench coat will make you look as stylish as any Burberry could. I want to further tweak by switching the lowest two closure buttons and flaps on the front opening to the back vent so I can control flaring of the skirt, which is authentically generous. Tip: leather should be sewn on buckles damp so it will shrink to fit when dry. Not too bad, though. I''m well pleased overall. Thanks WPG!
