Frankly, I'm more concerned with Melania's bare legs. I know she wants to be fashionable, but damn. It is December.

And stockings have made a comeback, bare legs were a thing more than 15 years ago.

Work got casual, and that coat was given to Purple Heart.

My winter class-a uniform coat was that length, when I was in the army, fifty years ago. Have military coats changed?

[link:http://hespokestyle.com/mens-style-advice/topcoat-vs-overcoat/|

The difference between a topcoat and an overcoat is one of weight, length and style. It’s very simple to understand. Let’s break it down:
– An overcoat is a long coat with sleeves that is worn on top of other clothing for protection against the cold and/or weather.
– A topcoat is a lightweight overcoat.
As far as length is concerned, overcoats usually extend below the knee, while topcoats end at or above the knees.

I live in the southeast of the Sacramento Valley:
We have no ice & snow, no wild fires, no rising seas, no rattle snakes, no poison oak and thankfully, no PG&E.

the adv blurb showed him and his 3 spawn, photographed from below.... so they all looked real tall and thin, and yes, his coat was like a duster...that long.

Goes to about the same leg placement as his wife's.

He's a fucking dick, but I'd take that coat in a second.
