New playa coat

I picked up this German military surplus overcoat a few months back; it was on sale at Metro for something like $20, so I bought two. One I’ve been wearing as-is – it’s a nice grey wool coat with classic lines – and the other was destined for fashion hackery. I decided to complement the flat grey with some shiny orange, relining the cuffs, insetting quilted panels in the sleeves, and lining the collar in similar mode. I might take another pass at it later and add a hazardous-materials style flame appliqué to the back, but it’ll do for now.
