On a side note, noticed Nitro really raised his Isaia prices a lot. Looks like the days of 350 Isaia tux is long gone.


Nitro's prices look pretty much the same. Also, he's been away for a month, so I doubt he's been raising prices in his own absence.

So maybe I just haven't checked him out in a while, I remeber his Isaia suits sued to be 900+ BIN with best offer, now its all 1199 BIN with best offer

Which is exactly what I'm after -- something that will stand out a bit from the sea of basic black/navy/charcoal single-breasted overcoats that crowd any financial district in winter, and yet not be too flashy.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

I love it. I can't really comment on the business aspect as I'm a creative and they expect me to wear topcoats like that.

LOL, at that price I would buy it just to have it for my freaky days. Sadly they don't have my size.

I also like it a lot.

As a practical matter, it seems like it would get dirty pretty quick - though that may not be a concern in places where people don't have the pleasure of dodging cabs and traipsing through slush to get to work.

I've been watching that one for months. I must've almost bought it five times now.

I've been watching the OP coat for 3 or 4 months and actually put two different best offers on it. Didn't seem to be enough...

Depending on where in Tennessee you are, that might be questionably heavy as your only overcoat.* I really do like it, though.






*So says the guy with a closet full of outerwear and no cold weather in which to wear it.

I'm actually going to be moving to Chicago, where the coat will get much more action than it would here....
