hey Gents,
The bane of my existence (he said with no hyperbole) is that I cannot find an affordable coat that I can wear with a suit. Now let me qualify that: I am looking for a WARM coat. One that I can wear over/with a suit. Something trim (with room for the suit jacket natch). Something stylish- but functional. Functional: warm, mayhaps a bit weather resistant. Wool? Under $500ish? Would love a longer P-Coat style- I like the way they button up- I have the express one in black from last year. Great coat- not the warmest- but it's all I got right now to wear over a suit (that and a very thin BR trench that fits like a garbage bag- man I need to get that tailored). So I picked up a suitsupply suit in Nov (great experience with them in DC btw- the suit is awesome) and took a look at their topcoats. Beautiful. Thin. More "fashionable" than functional. And at $550- not willing to spend that to still be chilly on my often long walks to/frm wrk. So I welcome your thoughts… and hope you all had a wonderful holiday/christmas/day off.
