If you buy something expensive don't tell anyone on here whatever you do as you might upset them.

Buy what you like, wear it with confidence and ignore what others think.

Perhaps you were using British English, try the American "this fall" wink

Reiss for high street, Zara for cheaper (but still pretty good) High Street.

If it's classic English tailoring you want, get one made.

Canada Goose - about as winter as a coat can get. Team it up with some matching trousers and Sorrel boots when it gets really cold.

You can get wonderful winter coats at most theme parks, they are usually to be found in dispensers near the water rides retailing between £1 and £4.

just picked up one from Makro. £19 and its industrial material... nice warm, but looks smart too.

English Overcoats are the way forward..

I would argue that you don't need to get an overcoat tailor made..

I bought an off the peg number from Roderick Charles on Blomfield Street years ago, and it's still going strong.

Crombie and G&H also do decent off the peg overcoats.

Don't go for a boxy continental cut from Boss and the like... Unless you are carrying about 8 stone that you shouldn't be..

Is it not possible to trawl the highways and byeways and see if you can scrape up enough fox fur to make a nice coat? wink

I bought an Aquacutum cashmere coat a few years back and it is mega warm but too smart to wear on the weekends - still looks like new

Maybe a Crombie would get more use as you can wear it with both formal and more casual clothes
