Peacoats in 2009?

[idunno09]

What do you all think? I bought one a week ago and it still has the tags on it and I'm not sure if i want to keep it. It's a black cK double breasted 60% wool 40% poly, and it has an offset gold zipper about 3" to my right when i wear it. So my question is keep it, or return it and buy something else. see the coat here: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/pon/img10174224140.jpeg

Return it. Cardigans will be big in 2009.

Not to mention that the CK peacoat is a dime a dozen.

I should mention that it only cost $120, I'm not attached to it and defending it by any means I just thought that it might be worth mentioning. I do need a jacket though for fall/winter and it gets kinda cold around here but mostly wet.

Cardigans and peacoats are both worthy for 2009. if you think you can fit into a large in this brand, you may want to consider this coat: http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/sto...9512&langId=-1 It's purely a fun, casual piece. I think it's really great, but alas my size was the first to go...

If it has a zipper, it's not a peacoat.

An out-of body-experience is one thing ... but an out-of-coat zipper sounds quite unique.

dunno, my humble advice: trust your better instincts and sell that thing.

that's an ugly peacoat. that zipper is hid-e-ous. if you want a pea coat, get a pea coat.

e.g., go to sierra trading post and sign up for their dealflyer. watch the sales and prices on this guy

if your color does not sell out because the jacket is so dope, i bet you can get it for $150 before too long. generally 30% of what they list as the MSRP will happen if you wait and watch. 20% coupons are pretty common, so if you can get one -- these days you have to wait for them to give it to you -- that $223 would be $178.

about ten days ago i bought the gloverall duffle coat -- please look after this bear -- for $131 after coupon. i am pleased with the coat & more so with the price. the pea coat was probably the same price. now that cold is coming on, it might not get that low again. and your size/color might sell out. but who knows. good luck. if the gloverall is not your pea coat, good luck finding another without a hideous ******* zipper on it.

That pretty much looks perfect.

Go to the surplus shop and buy a navy peacoat. Change the anchor buttons out if they bug you.

Or eat ramen and hot dogs to save up for the Spurr peacoat.

Or whatever, it is a peacoat. It was "in" before you were alive, it is "in" now and it will be "in" after we are all dead.

What? I thought people only wore suits with no lapels and silver hats in the future!
