Based on a special 1950s GPO (General Post Office) Workwear Coat found in Sheffield, this would have been worn in the sorting offices as a practical solution, with lapped seams creating extra strength. Detailing such as a top pocket which has a pen pocket built into it with curve for easy access. Keeping it as true as possible to the original, we have made minor updates to modernise fit and shortened the length to make it more wearable.

 Cut from durable cotton canvas from renowned British mill Brisbane Moss, and garment washed for a laundered finish. Brisbane Moss have been specialising in canvas, moleskin and cord for over 150 years and are globally renowned for their guaranteed quality.
