HELP DRESS MY HUSBAND-Needs a new coat!

[tinamillsap]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this blog, community, etc. I consider myself to be pretty fashionable as a woman, but struggle with trying to dress my husband and he needs a bit of help!

He's "thin and neat" as he has been described by his friends.

I'd like to get him a military inspired winter coat in a charcoal gray color. I want it to be somewhat fitted, but not too short.

I've considered this one: http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=20020&vid=1&pid=639580&scid=6395800 02


Does any one have any thoughts or recommendations?


Thank you in advance!

If you're going for a military inspired winter coat of that length, nothing beats a peacoat

If you want a fitted Jacket either A: You have to get it Tailored, or B: He has to try them on. I think for the price of the jacket that you linked, it would be best to be 100% about how it fits for what you're looking for. A lot of jackets can be deceiving online. But then again, you can always rinse and repeat. A.k.a. return the item.


As far as my opinion on the jacket, I do like it. It is military inspired and can go great with a lot of different things. I just cant spend 280$ on a jacket like that personally. For that price, I'd prefer getting a cashmere / wool Blazer or Sports coat.

Here's the actual Navy Peacoat that Navy men wear. It's pretty cheap, but I'm not sure how well the fit is.
