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.

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.

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

gmku 08.24.2009 09:01 AM

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.

demonrail666 08.24.2009 09:14 AM

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

Here is something simple from Casual Male and it doesn't cost a arm and a leg. Most definitely order from a big & tall place if you are over six foot!


Yeah, that would definitely work.

demonrail666 08.24.2009 09:24 AM

 


Now this I really like!

phoenix 08.24.2009 09:26 AM

I had one of those when I was 4. ^

girlgun 08.24.2009 09:36 AM

i'm voting pea coat. always looks good.

floatingslowly 08.24.2009 09:45 AM

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

ithinkimissyou 08.24.2009 10:01 AM

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.

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 10:22 AM

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.
