Help! Looking for 1) stylish spring/fall jacket/anorak and 2) decent peacoat

[lektrix]

Any recommends?? I live in Toronto, ON and I'm looking for something stylish to wear during the rainy months and late fall months before winter hits. As a reference guide, I'm a bit taller at 6'01" 175lbs and prefer slim or tailored fit 3/4 length jackets/coats to cover ******. I sport a Parajumper Right Hand Man Jacket during the winter (I appreciate their military inspiration and unique "parachuting rangers" style despite critics calling the jacket tacky). During warm Springs I sport a waterproof windbreaker type Arcteryx jacket but I prefer something less outdoorsy/trekky and something more street/stylish/work appropriate (like an anorak or really nice trench coat). Currently I don't own any peacoats but I would like one since my old Zara one from many years ago is just worn out.

Some ideas would be appreciated. I am able to shop and order from US websites . Not looking to burn my wallet for style but don't want to shop at GAP/Banana either. Please let me know.,

How about something from Norwegian Rain:
I saw this a few years back, and thought that the the cut, color, everything made this a go to piece:

If you want an anorak in the sense of a hooded, pullover coat with a large front pocket, then I'd get a ventile one from Hilltrek.

For a peacoat, I'd go vintage (there were tons of good vintage stores in TO. Are there still?) or new from Schott or Sterling. There's a huge thread on peacoats here:

What do you guys think of the brand "8" (Made in Italy) from Yoox online website??? Materials are quite crappy (nothing in the 90% wool range) but there's actually quite a few okay looking ones for under $200 USD which is around my budget.

For a pea coat, if you want a very nice (albeit expensive one) - I love my Crombie pea coat (UK company) - this is without a doubt the finest fabric I've seen in a pea coat. You really can notice the difference. I also like that it has horn buttons instead of the typical anchor buttons.

If you want more traditional peacoat - Schott makes great quality coats. Also a lot more affordable at about $360 USD
