YOU SHOULD OWN A GREATCOAT

The greatcoat is a timeless piece of cold weather gear. In our opinion, it's an essential part of anyone's wardrobe thanks to its warmth and style.
In this video we discuss the history of the greatcoat, the benefits of wool and reasons why we think a greatcoat is a winter necessity.

i got this as a youtube ad and now im convinced i needa greatcoat

[@The_trees_have_ears]

I’ve been wearing a double breasted wool peacoat for years and still get compliments now and then about how cool it looks. 10/10 recommend long wool coats in the winter months

[@loganfarty6045]

They colour grade like a Wes Anderson film (and I love it)

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

It’s ideal tbh

[@stoutyyyy]

I live in Upstate NY and walk to work, and a greatcoat is an indispensable part of my wardrobe because of it.

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

they're lifesavers in the winter!

[@shawnflynn1713]

Russians soldiers in ww2 were not issued blankets. And so they took German blankets as soon as they were captured. And they would use great coats for blankets and pillows in the summer. Interesting history. Personally I think these coats are fantastic.

[@unkono]

Great coats were meant for Officer Rank.

[@Mike-ukr]

no​@@unkono

[@homma84]

Just received the m60 Swedish coat and I’m loving it!!!

[@thenoblemarksman1370]

I just ordered one, it says wool fabric construction, do you mind letting me know if it is 100 percent wool or what other material it is made with, as the inner liner doesnt look wool, thanks

[@homma84]

@@thenoblemarksman1370 ahh idk these coats are made back in the 60s so I’m pretty sure it’s all wool

[@green93]

I got an old Romanian greatcoat and while it feels like it's made of sandpaper it does a great job at keeping me warm when it's cold and makes me stand out in a good way, lotta people compliment you for wearing it

[@unkono]

Quick tip for anyone here reading. Soak your Great Coat in Super Cold Water one time and let it drip air dry. This will help smooth out the wrinkles in shipping and make your big boy size coat slightly bigger and longer.

[@pigboy77]

It won't shrink?

[@unkono]

@@pigboy77 no

[@bagel_guy9495]

​@@pigboy77shrinking is caused by rapid heating of a cool wet garment. Letting it drip and air dry doesn't have such negative effects

[@pigboy77]

@@bagel_guy9495 Thanks. I didn't know that.

[@pregno1421]

I bought a 20€ used cashmere and wool coat two years ago it's beautiful, it's perfect for the winter it keeps me warm like nothing else and protects from strong winds my gf loves it, pretty much anything I have looks stylish af with the coat over it men, buy greatcoats, you can find old military ones for pennies and they will probably outlive you

[@Fizauln]

Love the way you guys have colorgraded this video

[@jackcountryman9192]

What does that mean? What's colorgrading and how can you tell its in the video?

[@FurinaDeFontaine42]

I commonly wear milsurp fieldcaps + my Great Granddad's WW2 Melton coat and get compliments all the time. The fieldcap that people notice the most is my M65 Finnish fieldcap.

[@m1_garand434]

God I love y’all’s company so much

[@YesYes-xb6he]

As a teenager in the 80's I used to do what would now be call as ultra-lightweight camping, everything in an old British 37 pattern largepack with a rolled up WWII British greatcoat on top as sleeping bag/foul weather gear etc etc. Epic pieces of kit but a git to get hold of nowadays, especially middle aged spread sizing 😅 In the 90's you could pick up Warsaw pact great coats for pennys, wish I'd invested in a couple of dozen.

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

that's some damn cool kit to be camping with! gotta try a greatcoat for fall camping

[@marcelnowak402]

sound so good

[@thorfarnworth6203]

Yeah, great job fellahs. This slightly longer format was genuinely interesting and enjoyable to watch. Stylin with stats!

[@OjSimpson7.62]

This video made me want to buy a great coat. I don't even need a Great coat. I live in Tennessee. There's absolutely no need for that. But I may buy one just because of this video. Also, I had to hit that sub button

[@unkono]

They are relatively cheap and good quality.

[@Robbie_03]

I live in a warmer part of the netherlands, and i have 3 greatcoats, 2 ww2 german ones, and a british one, and i love them!

[@Chili_Rasbora]

@3:02 Oh hey! it's the overlook at the Ellison Bluff State Natural Area! Yeah I'd definitely want a greatcoat if I were in Door County WI year round.

[@Barnie-pi7mk]

I might have to pick one up soon

[@LetoPartizan]

Id like to see a shorts vid or a mini video on how to maintain and repair said "drip" coats you guys sell. Would also help with those more intimidated by potential maintenance of owning one, that and some extra content. Love what you guys are doing! Also restock Vz95 Summercap pls. I want a medium but theres none available lol

[@Antiquefirearms724]

Awsome video. I love learning about the history of the stuff you sell!

[@joshmillard7029]

These guys get it. I could buy a wool coat with dozens of vendors. But with AP, I'm also buying a piece of history and an epic story.

[@youdontneedtoknow6621]

Oh god these do look amazing, I love how professionally you’ve done your videos they put Amazon and other big companies to shame

[@newo8886]

restock big boy size great coat man

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

Perhaps 😂

[@thomasbrogan8036]

Outstanding

[@zeos386sx]

I live in south Texas so of course you can expect an order for a baker's dozen from me.

[@Wingspan_5]

Plan to order one from you guys next fall. Hope you continue to restock these.

Greatcoats; The woobies of the past

[@not_the_useless_cake856]

I really need a crimson one to match Coriolanus Snow’s.

[@not_the_useless_cake856]

@robinswords would love this video.

[@Youngstown529]

I would agree that men do love WW2. I don't care about cars though.

[@jdgomez775]

Y’all got any fat guy sizes? I want one but it’s in practical in most of California.😅

[@bushwoogie]

The only time i hate being a big guy is when trying to buy surplus

[@unkono]

I got lucky on a big size.

[@Crazy_boots]

Gang it I was going to wait until I got paid this friday to get a Large... They're all gone!

[@varun009]

I'll be buying a greatcoat online in a few days. The last one I was buying I missed by just 2 hours. Really quick, can you tell if I'm a size 40 (chest measurement) and I want a greatcoat that fits over maybe just a thick sweater, how many sizes should I go down?

[@MrDedpool1]

One day I will own a vintage milsurp greatcoat before it sells out

[@danmorgan3685]

I find your comment about greatcoats declining because of car use amusing. I rather like wearing my greatcoat while driving because it isn't as bulky as my parka.

[@Maxcom12]

yeah its an ad, but I agree so I guess you win.

[@peraltarockets]

You need to do a co-brand with @YardActBand

[@citizenVader]

Still use the one I got in the navy. It's actually in better shape than I am now 😂

[@ultimatedijon3247]

Get some XL in and I'd but at least one! Make my wife happy and let me buy more mid-century!

[@epidemicstudios]

I fuckin love this channel

[@JJones-gw9vy]

I love AP. Not only do they sell the stuff I'm into (milsurp) but they make badass videos, and this one especially- it's very informative. You go above and beyond as a company. Thank you.

[@magaz]

I don’t need a great coat… I’ve got two reasonable good jackets… On that was terrible. I think the market for great coats dwindled a little since they added full body scanners at cinemas to stop three toddlers standing on each others shoulders in a great coat sneaking in to movies they weren’t old enough to see. Sad times really.

[@SchroediNr1]

I got two, one of the soviet Tank Forces (the ones tghat were stationed in East Germany, where i got it. Cause i am from there) and one from the East German Army from 1980 Something.

[@LiveFastRaceHard]

I ordered your last italian airforce greatcoat and more, it's been 6 days and you still have yet to even ship the order. How long does it take you to fulfill the orders?

[@bashkillszombies]

You never have anything in stock when I check, even after announcing you've got a heap of stuff in. Idk whether you sell out THAT fast or what, but I'm 6' and nothing in stock ever fits me, it's all for 5'6" manlets.

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

yeah, all our larger sizes sell out same-day. after that we're left with smalls and mediums unfortunately

[@lmuluch4469]

My urge to wear a great Coat vs global warming making it to Warm most of the year

I love what yall are doing as a business but fuck yall for making this entire video an ad.

[@iac4357]

I don't have a Greatcoat. Several very good, or excellent Coats however; I do own.

[@InquisitorMatt]

Comment for the algorithm! And hey, Door County!

[@americanapipedreamapparel]

Thank you!

[@JerichoTheCity]

I want one, but winters are getting warmer and shorter, too. It just wouldn't be worth it for me in my area.

[@briankamp1584]

Greatcoats sre the way

[@pujo28]

I ordered a Large Greek greatcoat. Has a #3 on the inside. Measures 23” across the chest from seam to seam under the armpits. Fits me snug. If the #3 is considered a Large then they run small. I’m 5’10” 170lbs 42” chest

[@knightbane2857]

I bought one from you guys, I love it!

[@ObsidianB8]

i would get one, but i live in 115 degree 100% humidity Texas where it snows once every 15 years a light dusting and the cold months are more like cold weeks or days here, then back on to summer

[@nextfuture5285]

Where’s the green coat from?

[@harissafaridis5681]

Wonderful Video! But I have one question, where could I find a greatcoat like the. Greek one? Like not similar, I would love it to be a Greek Greatcoat. My father didn’t want me to buy the coat on your website.

[@mickymcfarts5792]

Def gonna look like a 1980's street kid.

[@samuelleask1132]

I ordered one of your french navy coats a couple weeks ago boys and it arrived two days ago. It's now my all time favourite piece in my wardrobe

[@Crayoneaterprepper]

Anybody know the music used at the of the video

[@OntarioFreshwaterFishing]

I’ve always called them trench coats. A good one will last a lifetime

[@luchadorito]

based on my research of living in the netherlands, the knee length North Face puffer is the new greatcoat

[@richardsawyer5428]

A random but very interesting video. Sweet. Wool also locks up carbon. Another added bonus.

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

would be interested but the only great coat that has these eyes, is the polish great coat. the best looking one. I only hope the one i ordered has the height right, since everything was to size but height was a few sizes short. Now I just need to find a polish trench coat to go over the great coat

[@unkono]

I have one! A green polish great coat!

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

@@unkono how nice is it, because mine shows up tomorrow and i can't wait. because that thing is a work of art

[@unkono]

​@@ALegitimateKZbinrits really good. My size. The color is OD Green. There is a secret pocket in the left cuff for a pack of Cigarettes. The coat is from the cold war era.

[@unkono]

@@ALegitimateKZbinr I would check out the Portuguese Black wool Parka too.

@@unkono might look into it but currently have the polish parka and that once again the poles delivery with amazing quality gear.
