Whoa that is closer to the yoke on the s.e.h Kelly trench I have than the belt.

Tho I wonder if you have not made some adjustments to the proportions of the trench over the years, as the photographs of the trench these days seems to place the belt slightly higher than how it looks on my coat. Still under the second row of buttons, obviously, but on my trench, it seems to split the distance between the 2nd and third rows of buttons pretty equally, whereas the photos of the tench on the web store clearly have it higher, so close to the 2nd row of buttons, so close as to almost be brushing against them.

Interesting observations but we haven't changed anything about the trench for eight or nine years. When it is made in different materials the measurements will be slightly different, however — e.g. woollen cloth tends to shrink a little during the production process.

We might have moved the button positioning, come to think of it.

Or you might have a size different to the one typically photographed (e.g. on the mannequin a size M).

A few additional instances of photographic evidence that the British warm does, in fact, exist.

I keep repeating to myself, "I do not need another overcoat. I live in Northern California." I'm not sure it's working.
