Honestly, you can probably find something like that at Zara. If not this week, then the following weeks since they change collections so frequently.

I think that's a Marni or a Lemaire coat (Joachim bro, right?). You'l have to dig or check Yoox, or you could check out Undecorated Man for something more price friendly. Those types of coats should be around though, especially the last few/next few seasons. COS probably has something though the quality won't be great.
I believe it was Marni season 15 collection (can’t remember), I will around yoox. Cos do have the same coat for $200 not sure if it’s worth the price.

I assume it's Lownn, which is that guy's line.

Prob a lot more expensive than $400, but there are a ton of companies doing oversized black coats nowadays thanks to Vetements and whatnot.

Yeah I think you’re right after seeing the Instagram. I might just wait a bit till winter sale and see what happens. But I really wish to get SLP or CP Chelsea (debating)in somewhat this year or next

Since this is the "should I buy" thread, I'm gonna say don't do it man.
Can I know why? Not trying to say in rude way, but more curious about the reason for not getting a either brand Chelsea.

They're just hyped beyond belief and you'll look like a fashion victim. Also CP Chelseas already feel 2016 dead.

That said, if they make you happy I say go for it. I have a pair of Ozweegos and they're pretty awful in every regard, but I have fun wearing them.

I see, right now I’m look at boots only because I already have a MMM GATs, CP and stan smith, so want to stop with sneaker for now. What’s your thought on combat boots?

Chelsea boots are swiftly going out of style imo. All the normies/non stylefarmers I know who've bought them express deep regret. I never got on that bandwagon. Sidezips 4ever.

Combat boots are cool, but it depends on your wardrobe. This thread is inherently kind of about objects, like -- should I buy this object -- but it sounds like you're after the most popular and vetted objects when those objects may not come together as a look. Might be good to think more about the look you're trying to create.

I have some Chelseas and like them, but I wish the sand colored one was a Luchesse suede side zip.

Yeah, I’m still at the Experimenting stage, kinda here and there with my style. But definitely my waredrobe is more like Parisian men style (idk what it is called) and a bit oversized stuff when I’m feeling cozy.
I wonder having a side zip is a different feeling than owning a jodhpurs. Since, I’m like lurking around what boots suits me and definitely feeling sleek ones fits my waredrobe a bit better

Personally, I would look at safari jacket or military jacket that have a decently lightweight fabric. Kimono can be a good choice as well. I’m not a huge fan of vest in general

Honestly if you've worn them for yrs you'll usually end up finding out you own a bunch of boots including chelseas, zips, laceups and jodhpurs and none of them look/feel very meme-item.

note: still, don't buy SLP, very lame brand although let's be honest, many individual pieces are fine. I liked some of the ponchos, the leather are more than ok and some of the jackets were ok.

Chelsea's remain as stylish as ever, but the hype/trend is fading. Don't worry too much about passing fads.
