Looking to buy a coat

[isee]

So doing some windowshopping online and came across this:
VINTAGE BILTON COAT on Aquascutum website. But there is no price, or a decent description for that matter. Now I know that Aquascutum have a good reputation but not posting an RRP or product info is just marketing hype bks and makes my piss boil! Not posting a price on the menu or a product for me is a reason enough not to enquire or buy something.

I just cannot believe that there are that many people in the world who are so rich and careless with their wealth, that they do not care to compare the prices and would rather write a balnk cheque than do some elemetary maths in their heads for a few seconds.

Anyway, I do like the look of the coat and would really rather not have to go to harrods to find out wheter it is in my budget or not.

On a slightly different matter what do you lot think about

For some people, an item becomes desirable purely because of how much it costs, and the more, the better.

These people can be categorised as 'women'. Some of these people are actually technically 'men', but you're safe enough describing them all as 'women' anyway.

If a brand like aquascutum doesn't tell you how much something is, they are courting the 'women' described above.

The retail equivalent of a wink across a crowded room. You know an expensive dinner is heading your way.

Beware.

I have that exact same Boss coat, absolutely lovely cut, have you had a look at the CK and Armani? They've all got some similar styles this fall.

I was looking at this, mainly for work with smart jeans and shirt:

Probably in black or dark brown. Is it a bit dodgy though? FWIW I'm 45, 42" chest and 5'9".

I think for your age(no disrespect) it's a nice looking bit of kit.

Hmm, thanks, I think. I have a couple of more casual leather jackets - a USAAF A2 replica and RAF flyers jacket, but they're a bit casual for work.

Yeah, but only if you're short and squat. They don't make coats for tall and normal shape....

I like this one, but wondering if it might be a bit of an uninspired choice.
