Where can you find the old style London Fog raincoats?

Answer 1

I collect vintage London Fog overcoats, in many styles and designs. These currently vintage trench coat, double-breasted with cape overthrows and belt; a blue herringbone window-pane plaid with round English style collar and an 80% alpaca- 20% mohair liner; several classic taupe/tan single breasted, covered button models; and a once popular, now rare 45% Dacron- 55% Cotton goldenrod single button overcoat. The label printing, materials, and style allow for a approximation of the coat's age; there is no current history describing the changing styles, materials, and designs for the years of the overcoats manufacturing runs.

The best source for vintage and contemporary London Fog overcoats are thrift stores with a wide selection of upscale clothing wear. Thrift stores with a wide selection of name brand suits will almost always have a selection of London Fog overcoats. The coats were the de rigueur complement for well dressed men, both personally and professionally. Due to their durability, most coats, when found, are in good, excellent, or mint condition.

Check frequently. Think of finding London Fogs as being along the lines of gold prospecting. Patience and effort are rewarded infrequently, but the find, when struck, brings satisfaction and excitement, a sense of accomplishment an pride, well worth the effort and time.
