Atten: Style Gurus. Overcoats

[Fittster]

Rather than adding another grey/navy/black overcoat to the world what’s the general opinion of this Prince Of Wales check job:

Link to the coat in question

Dashing, or a bit too much?

[Plotloss]

If you have the body of an Armani model you'll pull it off.

If not, you'll look like a spiv.

HTH

[whoami]

These are my very favourite types of thread.

[mft]

Isn't it a little 'Sir Humphrey'?

[Uhura_Fighter]

I assume you are not gorgeous so no. You will look like an ugly tt in it.

And that's worse than an ugly tt in black overcoat?


I feel you are a conservative bunch, what about camel overcoats?

do you have liberia's defecit in your sky rocket?

[KingJeff 4th]

Depends on your shape. Only a tall trim type would really pull off that level of check and high lapels.

Nice jacket though.

[Plotloss]

Now I do like a camel coat.

In fact, bugger it, I'm coat shopping.

That needs doing as well.

Anyone got Gok Wan's number?

Might as well go for the full makeover.

[collateral]

I'd quite like a black M-65

[Famous Graham]

Go Burberry. I've had a coat of their's for 18 years now (plain black, not that appalling check ste) and the quality is unsurpassed).

ETA - the Burberry "check ste", not the OP's one. I happen to think that's rather nice.

Made me think "young investment w**ker" for some reason, I quite like it though!

[okgo]

Its ok, that!

I have a Turnbull & Asser number in a not dissimilar colour, it looks pretty good, but then I am 6,1 and not fat, so as said above it would suit that body type.

I do see the bore with black overcoats, but Hugo Boss and Paul Smith certainly do some nice ones that can sometimes look a little different.

Either way, wait untill boxing day and you will find that they are suddenly half price. And guess what, they still make a pofit
