I'm looking for an overcoat I can wear over a suit, and I've had my eye on J. Crew's Mayfairs for a while...

1. First of all, do you think this is a good style of such a coat?

2. I've been trying to research the value of Thinsulate, and without too much success; is Thinsulate worth the extra weight of the coat?

3. I'm 5'6" and about 125 lbs and a size 30 waist; do you guys have any sizing guesses/suggestions?

Thanks!



Thigh length overcoats generally make shorter guys look even shorter. I wouldn't get it.

Eh, more like coats that run past the knee. Thigh length is usually fine for shorter guys, and makes a big difference in warmth factor

I've been eyeing that julius knit or whatever for a while, I just don't know how I feel about the drawstrings hanging down the front

Silent jacket looks good, I'd go for it. And yeah, if I buy the julius my first move will be to cut off the drawstrings.

Hey all,

thinking about getting this shirt (RRL):



But it's pretty expensive (almost 200 euro) so I'm not sure it's "worth it". What do you guys think?
