Because almost no one is willing to pay the price this kind of high-quality product would cost and we are also so used to fast fashion, that a coat like this (which you might wear for several years and then even pass it on to others) would just not be "fashionable" or "interesting" after a while. Same with other quality clothes. And lastly, if the coat were damaged, most people are no longer used to actually mending clothes and instead just throw them out and replace them (again, fast-fashion). So the reasons in short are fast-fashion, high price and lack of mending skills.

If I had to guess, it’s about the speed of production. More actual, functional features means each jacket takes longer to make and requires more skilled labor to produce. Less work to make = higher profit margin per jacket sold. Over time, people forgot the functionality and only cared about the appearance, until we didn’t even realize some of those features were originally intended for a functional purpose.

Real natural wool from sheep, even woven in machines (old ones), in a proper well made textile, will last several decades if properly taken care off. My grandfather's WWII winter coat did save him from shrapnel from either a mortar shot or spielhabdgranaten that exploded a little away, but with damage (pretty tear up on the side facing the explosion), so he did gave away for a fellow soldier as a trophy or something since he didn't want to carry something that lost usefulness agains the cold winter winds in the mountains. The point is, not all uniforms got messed up (granpa's unit mate had a perfectlygood coat), some even hitting the surplus bins and not seing action. Not to mention the French had to surrender (both wars) and those coats might as well have been used in the civilian life.

It's from WW2 and has never been worn from what I can tell. I even found a paper in one of the pocket with the initial order, measurements etc.

Canadian Army still uses a greatcoat as a part of cold-weather ceremonial uniform. I can attest to the fact that warm air rises from your legs, torso, and arms, and gets stopped by the collar, therefore you feel warm. Plus the belt, and the double-breasted design makes you look really snappy! RCAF and RCN officers were jealous of me when I wore it. Best item of clothing during 11 November ceremonies.

@@JazzerciseJustice nike sf AF1s are styled after combats for example. camo patterns, bomber jackets on high end fashion brands etc. it can be 'made' to look fashionable with some effort by the person who owns it without needing a professional tailor. im a huge fan of military issued rain gear and coats. some variants have that down to business, professional look. subtle, tasteful and makes an impression. saw some during service but wasnt issued them because they are actually quite expensive and not essential to my role. civilians usually pay a $100-$300 premium if they were to get it from non-military sources. good stuff. military gear's real versatile if you know how to pick your outfit.

My Dad’s WW2 Army overcoat had all those features , plus it had leggings attached, that dropped down , wrapped around boots and buttoned tight. Like you said the back and front could be opened for more mobility. And they would also fasten around the leg. Also Dad’s was a cotton material that could be waxed to repel water. Also , the double breasted buttons can be buttoned left hand or right hand , depending on wind direction. To keep the wind out.
