4. Fur Collar Jacket
No idea how I’m going to style this since it’s super retro and dated, but it was in such good condition and just so cheap that I took a flyer on it. Poly/cotton outer, down insulation, and a real mouton lamb fur collar, all for <$50. There are tons of this style jacket on eBay by the way. Time for a comeback!

Trench coat sizing
Looks like first chart is in EU sizing and second is in USA sizing. First chart for a size 50 has between a 41-42l chest measurement, second chart for a size 50 has a 25” pit to pit measurement = 50” chest measurement.
To convert from EU sizing to US sizing, you typically subtract 10. So EU 50 typically equals US 40.
So I would get whatever trench coat has a chest measurement an inch or two larger than your blazer measurement.

Safari Jackets: What brands to look for vintage?
Thanks for advice everyone! Did a bunch of research as well today. Looks like the best vintage safari-style jackets (or bush jackets as they are often called) are from Abercrombie, Banana Republic, and Willis & Geiger, especially the last one. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any vintage ones from those brands in good enough condition, in my size, and at a reasonable price, so I went for the RL one basics. Paid ~$100 on eBay, which felt reasonable enough for the condition and details.
