Crombie
Manufacturer of overcoats to the gentry and well-dressed suede-heads
Suitable for concealing coshes, hip flasks and the racing results the correct Crombie is black or occasionally navy blue with a scarlet lining and matching pocket square
It should have a black velvet collar, a detail originally added by English Gentlemen to show sympathy with their over-fed French friends who were losing their heads during an Unpleasantness with their peasantry, who apparently were reluctant to eat cake, and use soap
A Crombie is short enough that a chap can swing into the seat of his Jag without having to deal with yards of fabric beneath his posterior yet long enough to conceal a shotgun with only 6" hacksawed off the barrel.
Strangely this useful fact is not mentioned anywhere on their website.
The venerable company of Messrs J and J Crombie of Leeds have been helping to keep Gentleman warm since 1805
The word Crombie has become eponymous with any old tat of a similar length
This is to be regretted
If a chap's overcoat is not from J and J Crombie then it is not a Crombie - it is merely a coat
Gentlemen should seek out false profits and expose them
