Man old age must be starting to kick in officially, I purchased some velour for the first time since late 90's, very early 00's. Lawd...

on purpose..?

Haha, yup. Copped the Monitaly combo below to get back in touch with the Italian lineage..guess I'm getting nostalgic? If I start abandoning slim fits and quality clothing after this for pleated Dockers, Members Only jackets, Champion sweats, I'm in trouble.

@smittycl posted some nice ones. What type are you looking for, SW&D or CM style? I'm also looking, but in the SW&D realm and I have my eyes on yet another Monitaly piece, the Harry's Coat. I've been feeling a lot of the last few season's from Monitaly actually and the Vancloth stuff is nice. Here's my vote (comes in olive and black). Looks so damn comfy and warm: https://www.monitaly.com/shop/harrys-coat-vancloth-oxford-olive

I'll see if I can make the Monitaly outfit look good, guess this will test my swag juice. Was poking around Instagram for in the wild shots trying to decide and this shot right here of the Old Dog Blouson sealed the deal for me from "Edit Store":

This season, Haider Ackermann did some really good long coats. Probably too long for me, but would work for OV.

@tonio028 I mostly just curious what everybody is liking. I typically look at the same handful of designers so i'm just wondering what else people are into.
But in general not a parka or trench

@bry2000 the Haider ones are nuts but just too much money.

Massimo Piombo looks promising, styling is kinda meh. But fabric look top notch.

I'm sick of my kilt options being limited to tartan or drab solids. What'sthe difference between men's kilts and women's skirts?

Four off the top of my head this season that I like:

1. Lemaire, but's eye watering expensive. Like legit crying expensive. Also some photos of this same coat look questionable, but it looks great here.

2. Kaptain Sunshine Traveller coat. I have this in navy, but it's available this season in tan. A little more CM-y, but also in that slightly remixed Americana way. Photo here is of @Newcomer

3. Drake's tweedy raglan coat. I really like this one too. It's made from a green herringbone tweed-y fabric woven at an Austrian mill known for it's Loden. Looks nice and slubby.

4. This Margiela looks interesting but some close-up photos of the coat suggest the fabric is kind of smooth. I would prefer something a bit more tweed-y. It also comes with a rope belt, which will either look really cool on the right person or really bad on most everyone else. And since it's a designer piece, it's also expensive.

that kaptain coat would look great with your wardrobe @OccultaVexillum

 

[bry2000]

Also Raf Simons has some good long outerwear this season. Also quite expensive.
