That would be the absolute perfect jacket for what I want. Why can't I find one?

Nice, I'll check those out! Do you know what stores sell them? For something like this I'd really want to try it out before I buy, when possible.

A M65 type wool coat. If you hate the formalism of peacoats but want something with similar fabric, these are a good alternative.
I do like #1, but I'm not going to be in [or around] Japan anytime soon. Heh. #2 looks a bit too busy [or maybe it's just how the asian is wearing it]. I'm a [semi]regular MCer, simple is king!

Again, do you know what stores might carry MofM?

The wool one is probably sturdier than the cotton one I have, but I wouldn't pay more than $100 or so unless you see it in person.
Interesting. Thanks!
