Wool coat/shirt/jacket advice..?

[Ricker]

I've looked on E Bay for the Swedish field jacket, wool miX one. They sag charcoal as colour, but look green in the pics. Those who have them, what do you say on colour and size, I'm a 46 inch in jackets.
What would you say, are they welll tight, should I go right up by say 4 sizes?

Anybody have any opinions about a Navy pea coat?

Swedish Army field jacket (not me in the photo!).
Button-up, heavy wool, big pockets front, rear and inside.

Here, open with a hat, a blue jean and a scarf it is a nice jacket.

But closed with its upper pockets and epaulets it looks like "Wehrmacht feldgrau". Not always a good idea in front of old people in some place. It is better to have one without epaulets and upper pockets.

Just looks like a wool M65 to me?

You are from Florida.

Here, old people had a lot of time to make difference between "Feldgrau" and "Olive Green" (OD). In the East of Europe, this is worse. Swedish wool jacket are often used to make WWII reenactment.

Good But one hell of a price for a clothing unless I used it 24/7

We actually make our sleeves 2" longer than UK standard pattern blocks. This allows your cuffs to stay where they are when your arms move.
No way would our sleeves be considered midget-seque.

Do you make the body (torso) longer as well? That's also a concern for some of us that have relatively short legs with long torsos for our total hieght.
