Green Suede Jackets

Does anyone know where I could find a green suede jacket like this one pictured in The Sartorialist? (I've looked everywhere, and can't seem to find anything close aside from a vaguely similar jade harrington at topman)

Green is a great idea for a jacket and a refreshing change from browns and blacks. But perhaps select a green that is a little less bright and more sage or mossy would wear better and be more versatile. I would be concerned about getting tired of the color after a single season. You know?

Ironically, given my wardrobe, that shade of green would be more versatile than a more traditional subdued green. Being a redhead, my wardrobe is 90% green, gray, and blue.

TOJ is a little out of my price range, although I may resort to them if I can't find anything cheaper.

Dude it's a suede jacket, 500-600 is about as inexpensive as you want to go. If you're paying less than TOJ prices what you're getting is going to be crap and will look like you paid nothing for it. Buying a cheap-looking bright coloured suede jacket is a bad enough idea that it ranks right up there in the long and sad history of bad sartorial ideas.

Is it just me, or does the dude w/ the green suede jacket remind anyone else of Pauly Shore?

I picked up a green suede jacket almost identical to that pictured on clearance last year from What Comes Around Goes Around - gotta say I prefer the bright forest green to the usual khaki/army tones every other brand does. It's really a fall item though so doubt you'll have much luck finding anything similiar in stores now.

Yes, and I think that's Mario Lopez he's giving his phone number to.
