Jackets
 

I need a new winter jacket.

I'm useless at shopping for clothes though. I don't want anything too arctic friendly, just something I can typically wear over a polo shirt and jeans. We're talking smart-casual here.

Please help me.

not sure how I can help you try on or find a jacket. do you want links?

you're a guy right? what's yr style? what shape and height are you?

yeah, links. loads of em.

I'm a guy, 6ft, bit of a beer gut

Are pretty great, but I think you won't find my winter jack anymore.

if yr tall I'd probably go for something that finishes where yr butt stops, shorter stuff would probably make you look lanky and I think the longer cut looks nice on taller guys. my *personal* preference is for a nice tailored leather vintage look jacket something like this below(I prefer black to brown, or even any colour that is really dark like a nice burgundy. if you have a nice butt I'd choose the leather one.. I swear I have stopped what I'm doing and followed men around the city in winter when they've been wearing a nice tailored leather jacket with a split and a nice ass.)

or, a nice semi tailored wool duffle one like below.. again I like winter coats in dark colours only (except for reds or greys on women), and I think black is best in wool on guys. Wool ones are more casual but just as cool, I think. especially if its a duffle. they're charming and it looks like you've "accessorised" without trying.

now that I really like!

choose the right size :rolleyes:

wow Im glad I didn't post what I was going to say, that this one is the fugliest jacket I've seen in a long time and is clearly a joke, right??>! I guess if yr going to the snow, or somewhere dark..

Haha, yeah. sorry.I was trying to edit and deleted by accident, but yeah. That might be a bit too tight for me. and even if I up the size it's sort of designed for the more athletic types.

dont mind me though, I have have somewhat peculiar tastes in clothing.

Man, you are talking about my favorite subject next to sex and LPs: Jackets!

I would suggest a nice fatigue jacket. See J. Crew's version. Or get a pea coat. See also J. Crew but you might also find an acceptable version in an army-navy clothing store.

Military-influenced outerwear is very in right now.

yeah, i'd not thought about a pea coat. that might be just the thing actually

Yeah, that would definitely work.

Now this I really like!

I had one of those when I was 4. ^

i'm voting pea coat. always looks good.

I want a pea coat. it's too bad the family-clothing-budget for the next 10 years was spent on BOOTS!

I like M65 style jackets generally

I'd love a military wool overcoat/greatcoat but I can't find any locally and am wary of buying them online

sorry man, i don't give a shit about your wardrobe (i am not your mother), but i wanted to say that i wholly approve and am completely envious of your current location-- the fact that your jacuzzi companion is a 50 year old fox makes it even more appealing than if this had been the 80s.

Since you have admitted to wearing polo shirts, I don't think we can find any common ground and I am useless to advise you in this matter.

In New York City, everybody wears a variation of the same jacket made by the same company.




Even though the sight of North Face makes me want to ram my head against the table, I must admit, those things keep you pretty dang warm.

free-online-translation: "get back to me when yr looking for a leather g-string".

If you knew me at all, you would know how ridiculous this statement is.
How many times do I have to say "underwear is for suckers" or "underwear is a scam" before it sinks in?

I can imagine yr leather pants as smelling "somewhat slightly worse than a slipknot mask" (and I hear that slipknot masks smell TRRRRBLE).

not that I want to smell them, of course; that's more of a glice thang.

i would never be caught dead in that.

Satan - are you also from NYC? If so , then you totally understand how obnoxious those jackets are.

My bought one for me a few years ago as a gift....I try to avoid wearing it, but I can't really afford something warmer. I only wear it during the coldest days of winter, when I'm feeling like scum regardless.

yeah. if there's anywhere to see a cluster of fatfucks in those jackets it's at a starbucks in the winter.

haha, susanna says "hola"

Northface is also rampant on college campus. Most often sported in winter by people wearing shorts and flip-flops in 40 degree weather.

I have one of those but it's too hot to wear on the tube to work

your weird anti-polo shirt thing. did you once have a bad experience with a tennis player?

polo shirts should be outlawed

no they shouldn't

for winter get a pea coat, they are super warm.

where would casual fridays be without them?

not that I get a casual friday, but if I did, I'd be forced to wear a polo shirt.

yes, they should. i have proof.

pea coats never keep me warm enough.

idk, i hate winter so much.

black pea coat ftw.

they are warm and look good on practically any body type and will help to hide ur hideous polo shirts.

:eek: i loooooove winter.


fuck yeah to the black pea coat.

i also have a parker as well as a chequed pea coat but i would look to the military style when its winter as those things are made for that and they work and they are fairly cheap. leather is also good for keeping the wind out but not very insulating, layers is the way to go.
