What kind of these things do people wear these days? I think I am going to buy a new one. Something plain, probably black, that will be really warm and is nice enough to wear out and maybe to work or whatnot.

What do you people have?

obligatory Northface post

11/17/2009 1:43:04 PM

Yeah I guess I should have mentioned that's not really the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Or is it?

I guess I'm not sure which is why I made this thread. I won't be buying North Face, though.

I have several fleeces (marmot, northface, mountain hardware), brown suede, brown leather (coach- really soft), a tan "canvas" (I don't know the term for the material) with chorderoy (sp?) collar and cuffs, and green wool (I think it is wool) jacket that has leather elbows (dad's old jacket he got when I was born but never wore- i actually really like it)... and some others that I'm forgetting I'm sure


I pretty much wear fleeces everywhere though

11/17/2009 1:45:03 PM

2 blue multitone windbreaker jackets (polo and nike i think..) light
1 black with white accents medium jacket (nike) not windbreaking though
1 black leather jacket, (roundtree and york) with insulation and liner ~1/5" thick
1 dark green diagonally seemed cotten? coat with insulation and liner ~1/4 - 3/8" thick(buttons)
1 thick stuffed grey and blue heavy coat.

i would probably like a really good light-medium-heavy shell based coat with a waterproof windbreaking outer shell, a fleece lined like middle/inner shell with some possible cover.

need: scarves (grey, black, blue, red), my hat back (red knit), a different newer large knit hat. another thick high necked fleece. some sort of pants other than jeans, sweatpants, or khakis. new pair of relaxed dressy shoes (my grey ones are coming apart inside, need something like some dark sketchers or ?), another pair of thinnish patagonia wool socks, a new brown, black belt. leather gloves. a few more close fitting thermal shirts would also be good (great undershirts).

sorry i went into more than just jackets and coats.

but speaking of coats i think i need to treat the leather on my coat with something, any idea what? mink oil? something else?

i do need some dressier coats though... i like that wool one, interesting ideas itt

I bought my husband a black wool pea coat from Old Navy for his birthday. It was on sale 50% off, and then I got an additional 30%. Total cost was $27.

11/17/2009 3:27:30 PM

waterproof columbia jacket with zip-in fleece liner

OR

alpinestars ballistic motorcycle jacket with windbreaker liner

OR

3/4-length rough leather jacket (russet-colored)

11/17/2009 3:27:38 PM

I've always wanted a Barbour jacket. Maybe I'll get one this season.

I had and loved a Old Navy peacoat for several years. My current peacoat is from Target, though.

I wear an Old Navy blazer when it's not quite cold enough for the peacoat.

11/17/2009 3:58:34 PM

I, too, like my jackets. I'll post up in this bitch later.

11/17/2009 4:03:39 PM

I got this DKNY jacket years ago that was normally $685 but they had that shit labelled wrong, got it for $135... its the shit. Bouncers used to borrow it from me at the club to look extra fly. Only thing is it only gets cold enough to wear it a few days a year.

11/17/2009 4:15:16 PM

Waterproof Columbia red/black with hood and zip-in liner, for casual bad-weather situations
Columbia liner, black, wearable separately, functions as a fleece/windbreaker
Old Navy fleece, orange
Croft & Barrow microsuede/faux suede with heavier liner, brown, casual cold weather
London Fog trenchcoat, tan, waterproof with zip-out liner--classic, works with nicer dress in bad weather
Chaps 3/4 length wool coat, black, extremely warm, again good with nicer clothes but works with casual too

The long black wool coat is probably my favorite, but it can really only be worn when the weather is <40 otherwise I'll bake.

I need a black leather jacket--have an old one but it's scuffed and looks like shit.

Gotta love a man in a pea coat with a hoodie.

11/17/2009 4:38:46 PM

get an LL bean jacket and have it for the next 20 years

11/17/2009 4:39:34 PM

I just bought a new winter jacket and decided to go with the Eddie Bauer 365 Primaloft Jacket. I tried on the EB800 coat but 800 fill down is just too heavy for the weather we see around here imo. The Primaloft is a synthetic down so it's not as expensive as a natural down coat but it's still VERY warm and light.

11/18/2009 1:22:43 AM

from now on i will bbehe instead of lol

For general cold weather, i wear something similar to this:


For really cold / windy days, or when wearing a suit and tie, i whip out the trench:



Also have a formal pea coat.

11/18/2009 1:08:11 PM

people who wear those freak me out....it's like I wait for them to whip out the machine gun and shoot everyone

11/18/2009 1:09:02 PM

exactly why i wear it.

11/18/2009 1:10:53 PM

slooowly backs away from thread.....

11/18/2009 1:12:04 PM

I really want a trench coat, but I'm thinking wool or something heavy. Probably can't afford the leather.

11/18/2009 1:14:03 PM

Just bought this the other day. It's really freaking warm and I've had good experiences with MH so far.

people who where trench coats make me Although I"m convinced that some people on TWW don't know the difference between a rain coat and a trench coat.



As for pea coats, go to an army navy store and get a real one. Styling is classic, and it will be warmer.

P-Coat and Beanie is how I roll. Or a black hoodie.

11/18/2009 2:38:05 PM

Go to a department store or some place like Jos. A Bank and get a nice wool topcoat, not that you'll ever need anything that heavy in NC, but they look awesome if you wear a suit to work every day.

I usually rock a peacoat or a really heavy leather jacket that I got many years ago.

I would like to thank GQ for this great slide show about the peacoat.

I get their emails and shit because I'm always shopping for my guy friends and dressing them lol. And I just love fashion in general.

pea coats ftw

11/18/2009 4:14:36 PM

I gotta get a pea coat this year. It's a purchase I debate to make every year, but then always end up going for something cheaper.

For dress up/going out I've got two corduroy sports coats that are very warm. A khaki colored one and a very dark brown one. I've also got a faded black, almost faded to the point where it looks like a dark denim color, sport coat. But it isn't quite as warm as the corduroy ones. Other than that I have a few Columbia fleece jackets that I wear a lot.

But I live in fucking Charleston. So combined, there's about a month out of the year that I can wear those coats. That's what keeps me from dropping a couple hundred on a pea coat every year.

Buy it then come see me when it's cold and wear that jacket ok?

11/18/2009 4:19:49 PM

Yeah, the $400 leather jacket I have gets worn about 10 days out of the year. NC weather is so weird.
