It’s on Etsy: Camel-tan cashmere overcoat

Vintage 1970s Men’s Camel Cashmere Winter Coat: $63 shipped on Etsy – This looks like an absolutely fantastic piece at a steal of a price, and it’s also 100-percent cashmere.

Some advice on sizing: my actual chest size is 37", I wear a 38-39"-sized suit coat, which often have a real chest measurement of 40-41". My overcoat’s actual chest measurement is 42". So, I’d think you can take your real chest size and add 5".

This jacket has a 48" chest, so, if you’re a 42-43" real chest, this should fit. Or you can maybe be smaller and have your tailor take it in quite a bit along the seams. The main thing to consider would be the shoulder measurement, which will be a much-more limiting factor.
