I like a lot of those Filson jackets but they're all too big

I think I'm gonna stick with my sterlingwear in navy blue this year. Unless I find something else I like that is.



Not sure what I was going for with that pose..

I think I have all my bases covered:

Theory stone colored snap-front shirt jacket
Zara black track zip-up track jacket
PS Paul Smith brown heavy cotton hip-length button-up
Zara mid-thigh length wool topcoat
Assorted blazers

Not really sure that another jacket is worth investing in here in LA, but if I found something really cool for in between the Paul Smith jacket and my heavy coat, I'd consider it.

The fit was good, but I couldn't move my arms properly due to the way that the arms of the jacket were sown. I'm looking for alternatives if anyone has any suggestions, cheers.


That jacket looks a lot like the Rag and Bone Combat shirt from last season. Might still be able to find it somewhere.

I just jumped on a Topman jacket. There are lots of free shipping codes floating around and if you're crafty, a 10% student discount - but I think you can only apply one or the other. They have several cropped peacoats, cropped trenches, and military style things.

I got the black wool mix with detachable hood. It's the beater I'll wear all fall and to the bars with outdoor areas. Still contemplating the winter situation.
