Over the Shoulders, Under the Knees: Long Coats

[Synthese]

Do you like long coats? Do you have long coats? Do you want long coats? Do you long coats? Do you?​

Long coats: dramatic, unapologetic, sometimes creepy. Long coats: occasionally useful when it's cold. Long coats: they look cool when you walk. Long coats: post the ones you wear and the ones you want.​

I'm pleased with the two I own. I've been thinking about selling the Ann, but ultimately it looks so darn cool that I don't know if I really want to, even if I have to wear it with really over-the-top stuff and pretend I'm a steampunk protagonist (not hard). The casentino scratches some sort of itch, but can be worn in a way that isn't too ###. I hope. I like the idea of wearing light coats as outerwear with a tee, which hopefully I will be able to do at some point. The Peir Wu shirt/coat things are really cool, so are long blazers.

You'll note that some of SF's greatest also favor the long coat:​

Do you have that picture of me in the coat on the scooter, @Synthese?

 

[Synthese]

Yes but I hope you know it doesn't count as your contribution

Other pictures I have taken of people looking cool in long coats:

Synth I like that LBM coat

I want a bright-colored long coat so people go "damn, look at that guy in that non-black long coat"

Here's a picture of me in a long coat just so the only pic of me in this thread isn't in a Patagonia down jacket that I gave to my mom:

~bless~

I feel that the chest pockets of the Ann coat are what make it a bit - well - period-esque.

You picked the right moment to start this thread because NYT has deemed FW14 The Season of the Statement Coat. And they might even be right? Lots of good ones floating around.

This is sitting in my closet:

Being tall and thin definitely helps. A shirt jacket would create a smooth transition between outerwear and inner-wear.
