I've been on the lookout for a versatile, high-quality overcoat that falls below the knee for a while.
Last winter I was in Vilnius and figured that a Baltic people must make a decent coat. A friend suggested that I check out 'Lelija.'
By chance I hit their store at the end of a sale and picked this up (50% wool, 40% agora, 10% cashmere) for something around the EUR 200 mark. The build quality is superb and it's very warm. After a couple of alterations it became my favourite thing to throw over a suit or smart-casual outfit in cold weather.
Your thoughts, please: where should I be looking for a second below-the-knee overcoat? Any makers you'd recommend keeping an eye open for new or used? Do I really need to countenance paying 1k+ for something that will be a pleasure to own for years to come?
Many thanks!
