Please don't abuse this newbie, oldtimers.
I currently have:
Jackets
What kinds of jackets do you guys recommend? And what colors go well with the stuff I mentioned above?
So I've been obsessed with Harrington jackets as of late and I very stupidly decided to order a Combat Harrington online. It came and the sleeves are ridiculously baggy, and now I have to return it and the whole things going to cost me like $50 because my dumbass thought it'd be a good idea to order something from overseas that only has like 2 fit pics online and without being able to try it on...
Well anyways, I really want a Harrington, but my problem with them is that pretty much all of the quality ones are from England which means insane shipping costs. Also, the cheapest reputable brand I could find was the Ben Nevis / Combat ones and I hated that one. Pretty much everything else is upwards of $80.
Another problem is the availability of the color I want. I've been looking for an olive one, but most of the Harringtons online that I've seen only have straight up from or some bastard version of it like peat green (what the hell is peat green). Yes, there's Jump the Gun, but I only just realized that they cost only $77 including shipping to the US. I should've bought their jacket instead...
If anyone is selling a decent, olive, cheap, slim Harrington jacket, hit me up haha.
I've also thought about getting a bomber because they look okay and you can get decent ones for relatively cheap. My problem with bombers though, is that eeeveryone has one. I know I'm kind of being a little ho worrying about that but yeah. Bombers are still definitely an option though.
So yeah, beyond those two options, I'm not really sure what else to look at. I've looked at some anoraks, and they're alright, but I'm not sure they're really my thing. I'll look at some more.
Any suggestions? I'm looking for something casual, in a college setting. Is there a magical, cheap, good jacket out there? I kind of like olive, and if not olive, maybe some kind of burgundy-ish jacket. Really any color that goes well with the pants I have above is find though. Also not a fan of peacoats.
Shoes
I've been thinking either CDBs or some suede / nubuck oxfords or derbys in some shade of brown
OR
Some all black vans or chucks.
What do you guys suggest? The CDBs/oxfords/derbys would be new territory for me because I've only worn sneakers all my life. Would those shoes in some shade of brown go well with the pants and tees I have above?

So any suggestions guys? I'm a student in uni, so I'm looking for more casual clothes. I'm just looking for something nice and somewhat cheap if possible. I have some ideas on what to get, but I'm also open to hearing some other ideas. Thanks for any advice you guys might be able to give.
Also, can someone tell me how to make a post on the buy & sell forum? I'm trying to sell that Combat Harrington I mentioned.
I currently have:
- Levi's 502's in graphite and true chino
- Levi's 512's in black slub twill and true chino slub twill
- Uniqlo Ultrastretch in beige and navy(not a fan because it looks more like black than navy)
- T-shirts in black, burgundy, and different shades of blue
- I'm planning to get some Uniqlo long sleeve t-shirts
- I'm also looking to get some dark wash denim
