Francesca, I’m new to Substack and just stumbled across your work - I love this! I’m totally looking into Forecaster of Boston now as I’ve been on the hunt for a long, menswear inspired wool coat for a minute. Would you by chance mind sharing the size you bought in yours? Vintage sizing (especially when shopping online) can be so hard to gauge!
Hi and welcome!! I know it is super difficult to gauge vintage sizes online. The tan Forecaster of Boston coat is missing a size tag, unfortunately, so I'm not sure. But the navy Forecaster of Boston coat is a size 12 and I would say it's bigger than the tan one, so maybe the tan one is an 8 or 10? Hope this helps.
Your mohair coat is such a treasure!
I'm a huge fan of vintage coats, too. There are so many gems in thrift stores! If only I had more space in my closet...
I know they’re the best and also take up SO much space 🧥 at least they earn it!
