So many greatcoats got cut down to British Warms in my day.
And what an abortion they looked compared to the original army style. The RAF just didnt get the idea of the British warm and insisted that they had rank braid on the epaulette, and RAF buttons, whereas the army version doesn't have rank and has leather buttons and can therefore be worn in civvies. All in all a complete waste of a bloody good coat and I really wished I had never had mine done.
