Yes -- we have the greatcoat due to come back after the summer, as well as the inevitable return / restock of the peacoat.

The British warm, too, will likely be made in very dark navy next time around. A merino hopsack, probably, much like https://www.sehkelly.com/chesterfield-in-heavy-merino-hopsack-in-midnight/.

So that's at least three!

Any idea of the color(s) for the peacoat?

Yep — dark navy and khaki (a tobacco-like military melange colour).

Great. It's not the same cloth, but it is fairly similar — a bit hairier, more mottled, less green.

It is indeed a minefield.
Overtly military attire similarly seems a bit tasteless given current world affairs, but maybe I'm too sensitive.

To do some grave-digging in Kelly’s cellar here: I find that greatcoats per se are… great (there, I said it), and can be worn casually, but only if they do not look too militaristic, and Kelly has done a great job in recreating this staple of British classic.
Fwiw I have an RAF coat that can be worn on a daily basis as well, I have exchanged the brass buttons for horn buttons though. The colour of the super-thick fabric is just beautiful to me. Ok, the lapels are pretty wide.

That's a beautiful coat.

Yes — you can see that our greatcoat has a similar front, although the gorge on ours is lower.

We have a dispatch coat in (very gradual) development that is much the same, but has a full stand between the collar and the front, so it looks even more extreme.

I love these shapes.

Great looking Ulster collar.

Great looking Ulster collar.

Well, is that really what one would call an Ulster collar I wonder? To me the lines between those coats (Great coat, Ulster, British warm, Balmacaan) are always very narrow when it comes to collars. But I am far from being an expert in this field.

We call them Ulster collars in a broad sort of way — the same as our Ulster and peacoat. But the greatcoat and dispatch coat ones often have a steeper angle, which looks more smart (probably just by association) and are protective against the elements to the maximum extent. We don't have a name for them as such.
