One of the original pieces of the newly released Nu-Man Collection by Top Rank Vintage, This Swedish military overcoat had been taken from just an empty incomplete canvas, meaning it came in plain construction with no buttons, just white X’s from white fabric where the buttons go. This was our moment to not only make one design but we were inspired to create three designs so far .This particular design evokes a blend of a simple yet universal peacoat design coupled with the addition of epaulettes and the raincoat style rain flaps at each shoulder corner. The sleeves were also slimmed for a more fitted look

OUR INSPIRATION :

Well, in my journey to curate the most fashionable and unworn military clothing since i started TRV 5 years ago, i would run into garments , where such as this one, were unparalleled in quality and grade of construction , we got ourselves a lot of these plain incomplete coats with no buttons that we couldn't resist because of how amazing they felt and their unique color that you’re hardly going to see anywhere else...and that's when my designer instincts erupted into creating something out of nothing with these timeless pieces of quality, workmanship and history . This lot of Cold war era Swedish military gabardine wool Overcoats being some of the first to go through several designs.
