Alternative to de Bonne Facture Grandad Overcoat

[ppk]

I absolutely love the de Bonne Facture Grandad Overcoat. However, I'm a 38R and the smallest they have is 44. Also, 1400 EU is beyond my budget. I've been scouring the internet for a used one, but no luck. My question is are there alternatives that folks would recommend?

I am a newbie and not an expert and I appreciate any advice.

What specifically do you like about that coat? It would help people recommend alternatives since nothing will be 100% identical.

the DBF coats are EU sized— if you are US 38 then EU 48 will be in the ballpark. Check measurements whenever you’re shopping online.

A number of long coats have been posted in this FS thread lately:

Also check out the seller LuxeSwap on eBay.

Thank you. I'll definitely checkout LuxeSwap. Also, thanks for the tip on the size. I forgot that they are EU.

I like that it is double breasted and looks good worn unbuttoned. I also like the lapel style and the belt. I travel to places with cold winters (NYC, Boston, and London) and I like the shape and styling when buttoned up and belted.

says "removed" but maybe worth contacting the seller?

We think alike! I sent a note to him after I saw your first message. 🙏🏽

That didn't work out. So back looking for alternatives.

Are there any other similarly styled, over coats that I should look at?

Thank you. I ended up finding an awesome one by SuitSupply on eBay that was very reasonably priced. I think it's an old model called Torino.
