Camel Coat Ideas

[rkearns10]

Good Evening Boys,

So I'm looking for a camel coat this winter.----- However, I'm a bit picky and frustrated in finding any jackets that fit the criteria I'm looking for, so I was hoping somebody out there might be able to steer me in the right direction.

I'm open to a pea coat or slightly longer, but not a full overcoat. ---- Ideally, I would like this to be slightly longer than a pea coat, or realistically a shorter overcoat. Understanding the limitations of this, I can settle for a standard pea coat.

I'm looking for something slim and tailored, without too much tacky excess (buckles, zippers etc.) and without an obnoxiously large collar. To top it of.......... within a $200-$500 price range. I'm having some serious trouble yielding results here.

Thus far I have found this jacket from Michael Kors:

I apologize for the novel, but I'm thinking if bought a size down, and possibly tailored, the Michael Kors jacket is an option. ---- BUT, I'm a bit leary of the zipper pockets and the buckle around the collar. Any of you gentleman have any opinions on this jacket? --- Or better yet, any ideas that might steer me towards some examples similar to the below?

Much appreciated.



Some near perfect examples of what I have in mind:

It is far from attractive. MTM?

Charles Tyrwhitt has one that is 3/4 length. It also has a ticket pocket, not sure if that bothers you.

Comrade,

Can't say I wouldn't mind it!

----Muslinski,

Thank You for the reccomendation but that looks a bit darker than what I had in mind.

I came across this from J Crew:

http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/topcoats/PRDOVR~05660/05660.jsp?color_name=saddle

Looks pretty close to what I'm looking for, but I'd have to get a better feel for the color. It's called "saddle" and looks a bit on the khaki-er side of things, but relatively close. The color swatch on the site to the right looks a bit more camel so I'm hoping I can get some better pictures from them.

Sometimes website portrayals are deceiving and I hope this is the case!

Too dark?

It's $600 on sale so you'd have to bump up the ceiling of your price range but as far as quality goes you can certainly do much, much worse than this.

camels don't need coats, they are used to the cool desert nights.
