Recommend me a winter coat

[Orang Utan]

Not a skiing jacket or sports coat. A coat to wear with shirt, sweater and trousers - I have to wear one at work as I am working outside for part of the day.
This sort of thing, maybe?

couple of hundred I guess. I'm a large

Get a pea coat I reckon - not as formal as that chesterfield so much more versatile.

How about this one?

well, you're missing a trick imo

Ah, sorry - I get almost everything second hand, I forget that doesn't suit everyone.

Everyone makes a peacoat, so you'll be able to find one that suits if you like the style, but at 200 quid it'll most likely be a blend or made in china.

Community Clothing do a nice one for £195 - Men's Merino Blend Peacoat Navy

 

[moody]

yeah, new you wont get very much quality but if you spend 200 second hand, you can reach the outerlimits

Quality designed timeless pieces for buttons !!

I always have a sniff around on eBay, although currently trying to downsize my clobber

I used to buy top end xxl shirts for two or three quid. Take them to a local seamstress and get them tailored in for me

 

[peterkro]

Armorlux:The long one is €270 from Armorlux but looking around online will find cheaper.I bought the pea coat for £140 last year

I’m a bit scared of eBay - you have to do a lot of digging and I’m not good at that as I’m too impatient. Can’t do auctions either. Need to buy outright. Then when you do buy stuff, you get pestered for feedback. Stresses me out massively.

Good thread.

I went looking for coats yesterday, my five year old wax cotton Fat Face job is too distressed chic now. Couldn’t find anything I liked. The closest was a proper Barbour, with the wool liner but they had bloody black plastic elbow patches on.

I’ve got a decent goretex for walking and if it’s really cold and wet round town.

I’m 5’11 over weight, recommend me Hive Mind.

A white coat would be a disaster for me!

And then it might not fit! Can’t cope with sending stuff back so would end up with a wardrobe full of ill fitting threads. Which I already have tbh

Its fine ginge, ebay isn't for everyone. Buy something new.

Bit smocky. Might make me look like an elderly Provençal boules player who has pastis and Gitanes for breakfast, which on reflection ain’t a bad look

My coat is about 5 years old and Fat Face. It's completely lost the waterproofing it had, and is definately shabby now - I'm going to get at least one more winter out of it though, particularly as I won't be doing much this year. I'll give it a good spray with something to keep me dry at football.

Is it a waxed jacket you're after? I've seen a few nice looking ones on sale recently - not sure they're strictly winter coats but you can layer up to make them so huh?

this Gloverall jacket in British Millerain is lush



I really like this Kestin Hare coat (fabric is from Halley Stevensons, the other british wax clothmaker)



And this North Face / British Millerain collab is great too



Or this jolly orange YMC coat (this one seems to be wool lined)

at least have alook at the sellers link I provided, honestly it's all top notch and 85% is brand new, really good deals, this guy just deals in high end suits and jackets/coats.
