The Coat

There is no wargames content in this post at all. If that's what you came here for, find another post.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a query about a greatcoat I'd bought at a market in Sydney. Since it appears that I have a couple of fashionistas in my readership, here it is, with its new front buttons.

They are basic gold-coloured buttons with an anchor design; the cheapest thing I could find with the right look at of the right size.

The red lining adds a nice touch of colour to the proceedings.

It's taken me a couple of weeks to get these pictures because, having put the buttons on, the weather warmed up to such a degree that wearing a coat was a complete no-no. Today was the first day that it was cold enough to justify it.
