  I would, but how did you get it to save your pictures? I can't seem to do that.

  And you did see this with ponyskin sleeves, didn't you? http://us.burberry.com/store/w.....earch=true

  Rae that's almost the same as mine, except I did a different lining (and obviously something else since the price was a bit less; no monogram for me, that might be it). Too fun ^^

  Ooh Fun. I ended up with a $8000+ Navy Abingdon with removable Finnish Mink liner. Awesome. Never happening. Could not figure out how to save photos. I'm not a fur gal, but it was Finnish (which I am) and imaginary so why not?

  I just took screen captures of the images, no saving required. :)

  K, I love the color of the coat in that link, too!

  I love the term "throat latch" - it sounds like something a knight would wear into battle. Will have to share mine -I created an account and saved it!

  Obviously I'm going to have to postpone my retirement. Too easy to spend $5000, but if I live to 113 and wear it every year, my CPW will be only $100 a year...

  I do realize that I probably won't look much like the model, especially in the last few years of my wearing this coat but, on the other hand, a 50 year-old leather coat will probably have a few wrinkles and age marks, too! :)

  Can't wait to see yours, Una! I agree that throat latch is awesome.

  Gaylene, I love that you went with the full leather. With a coat like that, you would find a way to make it to 113, just to keep wearing it! ;)

  I couldn't figure out the screen capture but here's a link to my saved post:

  Hey, I'm all about the Euro-minimalist wardrobe where you intend to wear your clothes for several years. I've just never contemplated a 50 year stretch until now...

  Una, I love that coat--especially those sleeve tabs.

  I'ts like buying kitchen cabinets - every single change is a minimum of a few hundred dollars!

  Hey, everyone. To save the pictures posted here, you must first right click on the thumbnail, then on "Open Link in New Tab/Window". Once the window or tab opens, go to it and right click on "Save Image As".

  Hope this helps.

  Ooh, love it! Great color, and I love the double belt, even though I don't have enough waist to double-belt myself.

  Here's a screencap of Una's just to have it here on the thread. :)

  Here is mine. Not sure you can read the details, so it is:
  Wellclose zip 84 cm
  Black cotton gabardine
  classic check lining
  red cashmere liner (only available for some reason if you choose the classic check lining)
  classic check undercollar with throat latch
  leather overcollar
  wide belt
  monogram
  total just under $3000 - a bargain! ;)

  i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one who does this. every 6 months or so, i build my dream coat....then look at the price....google trench coats to see if there is anything out there that i might like at a price i might want to spend....and then give up...
