Would've bought a size XS. I'm all you mentioned except tall. Indeed it looks interesting.

Yeah, full retail is my only hesitation. I know I could cop from Europe for less but run the risk of customs fee's cutting into anything I would save.

It isnt really that warm but DH outerwear fits me great and you point about it being a staple piece is exactly why I want it. I would get a ton of wear of it this winter.

It's pretty damn heavy, wool fully lined (if it's the one I'm thinking of)

Here are some more pics of the coat from LVR so you can get a better idea if it is the one you have seen. It is warm but it's not as heavy as it thought it was going to be in person. http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.as...seasProdID=52I The LVR model is wearing it way too big and I didnt like it at first when I saw it online but its pretty awesome IRL.

I'm looking for a decent brown leather belt, something similar to this Levis one:

Any suggestions?

The pic is of the levis one. Are they of decent quality? They are pretty cheap.

Of course not, but you can't pay for high quality so that shouldn't be a huge concern of yours anyway.

Okay, so I caved. Metallic blue rafstros or the vinyl blue and black raf highs? Both my size, only going to get one. To be honest, I prefer the vinyl blue and black rafs, but they look too much like my CP achilles mids until you actually get to the strap. It'd be a bit of a better fit with my current wardrobe, but the rafstros are...cooler. I would steeze out in them if I actually had the steeze to do so. Also would need to get a better pair of black denim, but someone copped those arcadius on sufu
