Thanks guys, just took a second picture. I'm just pinching the back where I'd probably get my tailor to take it in slightly at the sides.

The shoulder seams are definitely too wide but I think that might be intentional - it fits more or less the same even for the model for The Bureau Belfast

late to this, but what is wrong with all of you? why would you not want to be a gundam? I keep wanting to buy Y-3 NOCI exactly for this reason

and to stay on topic, I don't need either of these, but a "rain coat" seems like a good thing to have:

I'm not sure which style you prefer or may go well with your wardrobe. On the other hand, I think waterproof cotton is not a better material than poly due to its synthetic waterproofed coating. And might not last as long after cleaning. Another advantage of poly is lighter.

I am assuming the second one is Dries from FW13. If so, I have it and really like it. I guess you can call it a rain coat style, but I don't recall that it is waterproof or water resistant.

Get the first one, better length and more practical.

Print on the second one is nicer though, also cotton might not be as waterproof but it wears and ages better. But the length sucks.

@Benesyed, feel like the Gazelles would go better with your wardrobe? I have the Spalwarts (like the two-tone ones you posted better than the solid colored ones). I like them with things like field jackets and jeans, but I don't feel like that's your thing.

This was more to wear with my denim and a tee or with my tapered sweats, but I guess the gazelles could fit with my Schneider stuff

That would be true...but I actually hate having two similar things unless its an extra of something I love like boots for example.

I think maybe the print looks nicer on the black background
