It's a long story. Suffice it to say Robert Stolz's customer service is stupendous.

The Austrian Hunting Loden Coat I ordered arrived 2 weeks ago. The 40R was too large. So they sent out a 38R and 36R at no charge.

Some USPS difficulties and here I am with 5 coats, a 40R, 38R, 38S, and 2 36Rs.

Robert Stolz will send me a free return label for
The 4 I don't want.

For fun can you wear the 36, the 38, and the 40 all at the same time? Now that would be proper protection from the elements.

This is an example of stellar customer service and a positive shopping experience.

The 38R

 

[Mr. B. Scott Robinson]

Loden, my favorite fabric!

Cheers,

BSR

All loaded up on loden! The 38 looks great!

^^Indeed,
the 38R appears to be a winner! Enjoy that decidedly handsome coat.

Is the black and white check a vest with lapel? Nice!

 

[momsdoc]

Yes. A black and ecru houndstooth lapel tweed waistcoat.

 

[Fading Fast]

Even its buttons are impressive.

How warm is the coat? It's currently 0° here in Rochester, although it's usually warmer. I wouldn't often wear the coat over a jacket but was thinking of ordering the one with the removable lining so in a pinch I could remove the lining and not look too bulky over a suit...

 

[momsdoc]

It seems warm as it’s very dense. But it’s at the tailor and I can’t say. The manufacturer claims his lined Shiver No More is the warmest coat he’s owned. I do not expect to ever wear this coat without at least a sweater underneath. It’s sized for layering and the style doesn’t appeal to me unless over layered knitwear or sports coats.

I have similar Loden coat from a different Austrian manufacturer and, wearing either a sweater or a sports jacket, my coat is good to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit if you're outdoors for an appreciable period of time. Zero degrees could be a bit of a brisk challenge.

Does Robert Stolz make a 40L?

 

[momsdoc]

Yes

I found a Loden sports coat at a local thrift store. I would have bought it even if it wasn't the day before St Patrick's Day!

(I do not like the collar of the shirt under the sweater - I was just trying things out.)

 

[eagle2250]

^^Nice jacket....
and perfect timing with the purchase. I can't think of any other rig that would be more appropriate for wear when sitting down to enjoy the annual feast on corned beef, cabbage and red skin potatoes!

PS: Nice shoes from what I can see.

Oh the green shoes! (or boots?)
What's the brand?

The boots are Allen Edmonds First Avenue boots. Originally they were walnut (tan) and I dyed them green.

 

[UteLawyer]

That is dedication. How long did it take you to dye them?
