I guess I'm just looking for a bomber-length coat—something that hits at, or just above, the waist. Bombers are cool, but I also wouldn't mind something with a ridiculously cool collar (see the photo below). This "need" is, I guess, all because 1) I pretty much don't have anything of an appropriate weight to wear for the fall, and 2) mad envy over Synth's TOJ b-ball and Cloak jacket.
ehhh... that Raf is cool but you kind of need to know what you're doing to pull that off, and it sounds like you don't quite have the wardrobe to do so.
that being said, if it's what you want then go for it, it's a nice piece. to be honest though, if you can hold out i'd just wait for ToJ (tentative) revival and buy an MA-1 from drew.
If they're wide as Urth says a 43 could work, but if they're the same as CP's they'd probably be too narrow.. Maybe I should just order them and see for myself.
