i know merc quit making these a few years ago before they lost the lonsdale and fred perry distribution rights and went down the tubes, but i'm trying to find one by them or one of comporable quality in a XL-ish/46/48 chest size.

they were fucking heavy duty wool with a PVC subliner and a red plaid inner. you could get through a good rain with them, but would have to suck up the dry cleaning bill the next day. they made a version with exposed PVC shoulders and another with wool ones - i'd prefer the latter. the cut was superb and strong - not baggy and flimsy like most other ones i see floating around ebay.

this only really seems to be a popular style coat in the UK, stemming from workers, but if anyone has any clue, it'd be appreciated.

here's a few shots of other makes...i can't find any of the merc specifically:
