Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

[wagthesam]

Should I buy this peacoat? Its a navy repro. Anyone familiar with surplus clothes?

(75% Reprocessed Wool 20% Nylon 5% other fibers)

Whats better, quilt lining or satin?

have always wanted a day bag. looking for one to beat up while in europe + something that's not a briefcase but can still bring to interviews.

That looks pretty nice. Billy Kirk has a good reputation for solid goods. Is it a waxed canvas? Krane does something similar as well

 

[Vashin]

The local store has it labeled as "Oilcloth" and leather? so I'm not sure haha

 

[chronoaug]

Yea, it looks like leather on the bottom and on the accents. Oiled cloth/canvas makes sense. Looks nice though. Have you checked out the Krane bags since they're so similar? I don't know the pricing/quality differences but know both have good reputations. I think someone posted a pic of the krane one recently quick edit: found it http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...postcount=2574

Dunno about the band/string thing. Could be a little hippie. Would match the birkenstocks though!

I would buy something similar for less money than jil, if I were you. Jil Sander is more for unique stuff, so I wouldn't buy something simple like this from her.

Going to kop those two bags I posted.

Found the messenger / laptop bag without the pebbled leather on the flap, which is way better.

Anyone sitting on the fence on W+H T's should not be.

Got two today and they are worth the price. I'm done paying for T's that **** up after a wash that have average cotton.

Will be kopping more, ASAP, for summer over here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Jil Sander the definition of simple clothing? Also simple doesn't mean not unique, they're two different principles, these shoes are a good example of simple and unique.
