Anyone have pics of this coat? If not a description will do.

^ The silhouette is like a chore coat but it's got 4 snap pockets - 2 on each side. It has a collar that you can pop up and button using a chin strap that may or may not be detachable (WWM-style). I think its brown corduroy underneath the collar and black british millerain on the outside. It also has some quilted lining that helps with warmth.

Ughh I still can't decide..I for some reason am having a hard time justifying J.Crew over EG. I've been eyeing the bedford for a long time but the langham jacket is really really good too.

Recon Green (best color imo) is one sale for $138. I'd get it if I didn't have my eyes already set on the fatigue jacket.

Sweet tie. Yeah, I could see it paired with certain westerns from RRL or NdG. Either the solid-color poplins or the busier-patterned ones.

I could also see this tie with a shirt that has a subdued floral pattern to it.

The Langham one is a new jacket that just came out I think. It's not the same one that's on j.crew's website.

Very strong no on the first, so-so no on the second, and a perhaps on the last. What is it?

Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Still not great with working ties into my wardrobe.
