If someone swings by the store in Antwerp I'd really appreciate it if you could verify that the large coat exists in navy/gray, and also what the price is in-store!

Ok, which one of those jackets would you get/do you like more?
Have to make a decision...But I am still undecided, so a few more opinions would help.

Same cut, but different fabric/color.

What's the first one? I don't recognise it
edit: That's what the Alpaca jacket looks like when closed? Damn, that's gorgeous

That's probably the first pic I've seen of it closed, looks great. Can hardly wait for mine to get here. It's 95 degrees here but I NEED IT NOW.

The first one is the same cut/jacket as the second one, but in another fabric (100% cotton I suppose).
Picture is from some Japanese online store.
I already have two black/dark grey jackets from Schneider, so I'm leaning towards the light grey one.
I also like the contrasting knit collar, whereas the other one is black/black.
Although the fabric of the alpaca one seems to be nicer..

So most people here prefer the second one, right?

The cotton one looks a little flat to me next the alpaca. Also, the light grey lining offsets the lack of contrast between the coat color and the knit collar I find. Stephan cotton stuff is nice but wool wins, always.

I'm assuming they aren't the same price though ?

Thanks for your opinion and yeah, the wool one is 155€ more, I think.

Still undecided, probably will go for the wool one, since all my other Schneider jackets are cotton already.

And you're right of course, the wool one has definitely more texture.
Just look at this closeup from the women's version, really nice fabric:

Btw I've now seen about 7 different versions of that jacket in fabric and color all over the web.
So the whole collection is definitely more than just the lookbook.
