The one the second picture is I think a US marine jacket (I could be wrong) so maybe an Army Surplus store. I don't think you are going to find anything like it in a regular shop, and if you do it will be a designer rip off.

"Vintage" is your best bet,1999-2002ish smart ex military jackets like that one, or the British army red coat were part of the London indie uniform, mostly people bought them at crappy vintage stores, or at stalls at rock festivals. In the UK check out Camden market (there used to be a lot of this kind of stuff a few years ago, couldn't say now). I saw some of this kind of stuff on the Haight (is that right?) in San Francisco.
Crappy vintage shops near military bases? I found some stuff on ebay just now

Well I guess ebay would have to another option (although I hate taking that chance sometimes) but I'll do vintage store searching

Looks very costumey, I would never wear anything like that jacket.

Plus, Coldplay sucks.
