Some (Over)coats


Remember, the term "coat," while now in modern parlance a real word, is actually a shortened form of the word "overcoat." This is very much different from the "waistcoat," which in these days pretty much just means a button-up shirt.

Anyway, here's some really good Zero-era overcoats:



Not quite sure what the fellow is up to with his groin region, perhaps he is trying to hide a massive scrotal hernia. The coat is magnificent, and his whole outfit is grade A zero-era style.



This is an excellent period-less coat this lovely woman is wearing. I like the cut and especially the big sleeves. Those boots are not very zero-era, however. Personally, I have a deep hatred of that style of boot. They'd be great if they were flat, but that stupid pointy heel is like a spike driven deep into my soul.
