Try searching "hooded scarf" if you want more options.

IMO, the KVA cargos look marsupialed (and definitely not worth the price). The only recent cargo pants that i've liked are the Julius ones (like BB1's) and the RLBL ones.

im into military looking stuff right now



I seen some amazing germany woollen black army 3/4 length trousers with leather on the inside of the legs - I bought the dark beige/army green colour (without the leather wah) as they didn't have my size in black. I wear thick cotton skinny jodpurs underneath them and a pair of black boots.

If you can afford them i think they're nice. Price means different things to different people but if we're just talking about should/shouldn't buy the specific piece, i say yes

I honestly don't like them. Seem a little overdone to me.

Julius leather. Color is labeled as charcoal, but it has a slight khaki coloration to it which I like. I have too many black jackets, so it would be nice to have something in another color that meshes well with black such as this.

Dries wool coat in light blue herringbone? Typical horrible Yoox photo. Can't tell if the shoulders are too structured for me.

Or Schneider light grey long coat? Much better quality photo. Fabric looks great. Largest available is size 5, which may be too small for me (I am abt a size 40, maybe a 41 in some brands). SS sizing seems inconsistent to me sometimes.

Would wear these with jeans/office pants and a shirt or light sweater, not over a suit like an overcoat.

I already have a MMM dark charcoal long coat that I am crazy about, but both of these are much lighter in color and would work on days I don't wear the MMM.

Yes I like long coats.

Your poetic way with words is always appreciated.
