New coat. Opinions wanted

[Callie]

Of the two I much prefer the one you went for.

Yep.

 

[8ball]

Yep.

Nah, looks like the interior of a jazzed up Ford Capri.

Should have stuck to your guns!

This lot on here will have you accessorising with pink fluffy dice before you know it.

Well after a lot of consultation I was put off the brown coat by a) all the adverse comments from urbanites, pals, my significant other, my daughter etc.

The nappaline finish made me wary too.

I ended up buying a similar coat but in black. More pockets. Better finish. No Big Vern channeling.

I’m excited. This is the most expensive garment I have ever bought. I have no flesh on me and feel the cold and it will be great to be snug.

That will definitely keep you very warm. Nice looking coat.

The coat arrived yesterday. I was and am a bit aghast at how much money I spent.

It’s very nice quality. A good fit. My only complaint is it’s got a wrong way round zip.
I will cope.

I am going to stick an AirTag in it.

I might have agreed 20/30 years ago but modern materials do a far better job of keeping you warm and dry nowadays with a fraction of the weight and volume. Layers are where it's at. A decent base, fleece, down jacket, and hardshell, will see you right from India to the Arctic.

Yeah, but you’ll look like a geography teacher.

At the moment he looks like a poundshop Ranulph Fiennes, sporting gear that'd be appropriate in the tundra or antarctica

You have spent how much on a coat that's flawed and would otherwise have ended up in TKMaxx, send it back.

The seps do that. It’s really irritating.

You'll need to make sure you keep it properly treated. IIRC you can get aerosol spray treatments for protecting the skin. I used to get it for my flying jacket and it kept it in good condition for the ten years I owned it.

Should be alright in a handstand

It looks like it needs brushing every week and feeding sugar cubes.

Do sheepskin coats need that kind of treatment if they live in a cupboard, unworn and safe from rain?

I don’t mean like that. I mean gender. Like for a woman

 

[Riklet]

I would never buy clothes that expensive online. You wanna try it on and walk around in it. Must be good similar options second hand...

It's hard to comment on the style without actually seeing you in it. Not sure.

Wear it inside out.

Why has nobody asked for pictures ? Urban isn't what it was

I am very happy with the coat.

I shall hold my breath no longer.
