World War 2 Leather German Coat - Waffen Elite Officers Military Uniform Coat - WW2 Fur Collar Black Long Trench Leather Coat

Okay, as per the leather, itself; when they advertise it as "cowhide leather", they are actually dead serious. The leather quality, I would currently say, is Top Notch. But what is NOT EVEN CLOSE, in my opinion, is the buttons and the thread used to attach them; the buttons feel both cheap and almost dangerously sharp (I nearly cut myself on them, just unbuttoning the coat, before I even put it on. If they're not plastic, they must be pewter (and I do NOT advise using either one for a coat like this. You're insulting the very design of the coat you're making.). I greatly advise something at least close to the original metal(s)).Now, the thread used to attach the buttons... Breaks way too easy, even for a new coat/"unbroken".Mind you, I spent about a month, thinking mine was stuck in transit, right out of the manufacture area. It just arrived, earlier, today.I've already had to precondition it, just so I can break it in correctly (which I highly advise for anyone else who buys this thing), and I'm already having to fix the terrible work on the buttons. The button holes also came unfinished, so I've already had to fix That.But overall, I can definitely say that, though it was shy of complete, it is an excellent quality piece of work (just don't use the pewter or plastic buttoning or cheap thread). Something like this is just too good for that.And as for the sizing, people need to remember that these things WERE originally designed for soldiers who were essentially insanely fit. So, keep that in mind, when you order one of these.

My partner usually wears a 2xl but is barrel chested with large arms so I went up a size to 3xl and it was still a little bit too small. After wearing it for a while it did relax some. Perfect length for over 6 ft people, arm length is on point.

long coat. nice leather but button fell off first use. had to buy better buttons

Starting with the good, I bought this coat as my 2nd attempt to purchase a similar garment. The first time I tried a different seller who misrepresented their product and sent me a different trench coat that looked nothing like the one in their photo. Thankfully, that is not the case with South Beach Leather. The coat is thick, genuine leather, absurdly heavy and very warm. Nice quality garment. It looks exactly like the coat in the pictures.On the negative, South Beach Leather claims to be based in New York, but their products ship from Karachi, Pakistan. I don't really mind, but this does mean shipping takes a while and I find it weird that they feel the need to lie about where they are based. Still, the product arrived, was accurate, and had quality material and craftsmanship. There were a couple of minor scuffs in the leather, but for the price I paid I'm not really complaining. The buttons are the only real downside: though they are brass and are cosmetically appropriate, they are rather thin and flimsy feeling. They are also somewhat loosely attached and I'm certain at least one will fall off soon. All of these collectively prevented me from giving an honest 5 stars but don't let that fool you; this is still a great coat. You just might need spend a little time, energy and money upgrading it fully.One important note: this is a full length trench coat. I am about 5'10" and I purchased a medium. It's a little less fitting than I would have hoped (I weigh 175 lbs or so) but it is comfortable and is obviously designed to be worn over 2 other layers so that's not a huge issue. It hangs down to my ankles though, so far that I am slightly worried about it scraping the ground and getting damaged or dirty. I am considering having it tailored to hang around mid-calf length instead, not sure what I'd have to pay for that service though.Overall, if you like what you see, buy the jacket! You'll get something nice at a reasonable asking price and the few issues are fixable if you're willing to spend a little extra aftermarket.

This coat is even better looking than any photo can give it justice. Even though overall too small, the length is spot on. So if you are an XL to 2 Xl the coat is for YOU!Yeah Guys, you will definitely be getting some looks stepping out wearing this, so make sure you dress the part to do this coat justice!The button holes are tight but to be expected with a new garment especially one of this quality. It is heavy as well. Kind of like an old khaki canvas firemans coat but not quite.The fur on the collar detaches but the liner does not. It breaks my heart having to send this back. UPDATE!!! I dropped the lbs-kg, ordered another and it fits WELL!

It won't button for me yet even though it's a XXXL but that's cause I grew a bit I'm losing weight and so it will be just fine in a couple months, definitely recommend this for anyone that has been wanting to buy it just do it!

It fits perfect for me, I am 6.2 ft tall I ordered medium and I can tell it fits just perfect in my shoulders chest and waist it is a little to long but I am very tall it does not bother me, also If you need that length fixed south beach leather have very friendly customer service and you can customize it as well. Just a coat worth the money.

I purchased this coat after years of extensive searching at multiple stores and web sites. This is the most accurate and period correct reproduction of the Waffen Elite SS long coat that I have ever seen. It is impeccably made with the utmost attention to detail and quality of manufacture! The fit was perfect, matching exactly the quoted dimensions for the XL size on the chart.I am so very impressed with the amount of quality, accuracy, and attention to detail that the makers put into this item that I am actively searching their company website for other leather items to add to my collection! (Like the matching SS officers hat)I'm not at all a person who gives 5 stars on a rating unless the product just totally exceeds my expectations, AND this is one of FEW that absolutely delighted me to have purchased. I'll be getting one for my 17 year old son as well since he won't stay out of mine, its just that awesome...
