Thoughts on this overcoat? I'd be paying quite a bit less than the listed price.

I *think* the herringbone style is in right now as I've seen it on the street.

It's not 100% wool unfortunately. EDIT: 55% Wool 45% Poly

Ludlow coats are like $130 after discount? Even within the same family, i can't imagine looking at this thing for more than $50.

What would you be paying? Factory? May not be the same quality.

The ask is ~100 but I'd negotiate, someone bought the wrong size & can't return.

I'm assuming factory.

Here's a wool blend topcoat for $99 regular price

(Yes that is regular price, I've bought those coats from JaB and Mens Wearhouse for $39 before, and returrned them because I didn't even like them that much at that price).

Exactly this. If it's not going to look that good it's not worth it regardless.

$50 would be my top end too, I'm just wondering if it's worth even taking a look or best avoided outright.
