    As the younger generation get more education, and are genuinely interested in the sacrifice their fathers and grandfathers made in conflicts such as WW2 in films like this, (where celebrities play lead roles), what these films do start, is start a mad rush on dress codes, and I can therefore see a mad rush on buying these "great coats" up ready for the winter!
