Looking for a Good wool or herringbone or houndtooth jacket. I know EG and Woolrich Woolen Mills got them, but they are out of my student's budget

I picked up a nice one from varvatos with some leather trim and leather elbow patches.

Vintage Brooks Brothers. Have it re-cut for $40 and it'll last forever.

Check vintage stores, in my experience a lot of those old tweed hunting jackets, sportcoats, and overcoats hold up better than just about any other pieces of vintage clothing, so you can actually find a decent variety of pieces in more than serviceable condition.
