Hey guys I could really use some input on picking out a coat. As I'm out of college long and longer I'm starting to feel embarrassed using a ski-esque North Face/Marmot jack as my outer layer during the colder months! So this will be my first real coat that I'm putting thought into. My budget is flexible but as I usually prefer to get something and use it for many years I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if it was worth it since a wool coat is doesn't really go out of style... I saw this while I was out and about and really like it so far:

Thoughts on this particular item? General suggestions?
I also searched and saw this from last year: http://dappered.com/2011/10/the-best...llwinter-2011/
I also noticed that most of these were not 100% wool and were blends. (not sure if this is good or bad)
So I'm sort of torn between spending $180 or so for a BR/Express/Jcrew or $520 (25% f and f sale coming up) for the original jacket I saw. I did some googling and saw extremely favorable review for the Storm System Lora Piana fabric on styleforum and fedoralounge. Any input would be appreciate! Thanks!
Also, if someone knows of a side that I could use to upload and crop out my face I could upload some photos I took of myself wearing it...
