I know- there’s a suit on the site as well that I’ve been considering, every time someone posts glen plaid anything I start considering it harder lol

Not SM, but posted to sell SM gear, so presumably welcome:

36R Rust Polo Coat.

Warmth
Was 13F, -1F with Wind Chill. Just being outside for 4-5 minutes I didn't really feel cold. Good enough for me!

Fit
Wearing a chunky cotton shawl cardigan underneath and a t-shirt.

The shoulders look a bit funny to me. Should I leave well enough alone or alter them?

Rooms for Improvement
These are mostly nitpicking.

-Increase length of coat by 3 inches
-Drop pocket placement by 2-3 inches, a bit awkward to use the flaps at times.
-I had to laugh at the coat being stuffed into a box rather than neatly folded.

Opinions!
I told myself I dress too casual for an overcoat, but I literally had 2-3 dreams of myself wearing this coat, so I had to have it.

I'm kind of in love with this coat and surprised it isn't already sold out. My pictures fail to capture how nice the cloth really is, with the orange, red, green speckles throughout. Hnnnngh. Thank you to Rick for putting out a couple coats that are more casual and rustic.

This picture is close to representing how it looks in person

This one is a lot more washed out, not accurate colour. I have hollow back so the drape may not be as ideal.

Of course I have to show the inverted box pleat in action. This coat is not constricting in the slightest, and I can comfortably reach forward.

I also like the buttoned vent in the back if you want to fully open it up. The length was better than I was expecting considering the only other pic I saw ITT looked short to me. So happy I snapped this up while I had the opportunity, I think it was the last one in stock.

I'm excited to see what kind of overcoats we get next year, because I've definitely caught a new bug.
