short peacoat thread

[verter]

got this one from philip lim

[nothx]

The phillip lim one is nice, but its navy. I bought miu miu peacoat from holts yesterday. Really like it.

[goldengloves]

Dries Van Noten (roughly $800-900)

[sunkenshoes]

f**k dior

For real? That the one from H&M?

[black.shadow]

Yes, Lad has a nice one this season

I really like the lad coats but, will they even ship to the USA directly from their website?

[cuddlysheep]

they wont ship . best bet is to get a proxy foot soldier to go the flagships and grab one for you,better hurry though..to get your size and color.

[bapelolol]

how much is phillip lim? can i get anything good for < 500?

[kenthenoob]

anyone have suggestions on peacoats that are much more affordable and look good? the kind of "stylin' on a budget" coats? below 300 is pretty much my budget until i graduate and blaah..

Yeah that was the original intent of the thread i stated less expensive short peacoats but, i honestly don't believe that many (or just about any) exist in this style in the US yet. Im guessing that around this time next year some domestic brands may have caught on. The only reason why i say this is because i was really into skinny jeans just about a year before they caught on in the usa and well now you can get skinny jeans at jcpenneys.

With $300 you could buy a real army peacoat from an army navy store for around $130 and then spend the rest of your budget into altering it into whatever short fit you want.

I have one that im seriously thinking about doing this to. Doing so would actually allow for the tightest fit possible since the coat would be pinned first. Knowing this also increases my waryness of buying without trying on, i would hate to spend $500+ just for it not to end up fitting as I like then haveing to drop more money on alterations.

check yahoo japan. you will find tons as the short peacoat trend was last year.

[solenstyle]

Cuddlysheep, how much did you pay for that Lad trench? That shit is sex.

[seven.homme]

I've heard, as of this past weekend, that everything from this season is in stock at the Harajuku Lad store - but you'll probably want to get it soon if you're planning on purchasing just to make sure you secure one.

[bapelolol]

how do you search for short peacoats using yahoo japan auction?

[mr fluffernutter]

google translator maybe

[baskew]

I got that ralph lauren rugby pea-coat from last season... It's nice.

[Leonard Leroy]

DD sold me his grey inapt peacoat which fits me perfectly. I think it's sold out though.

[breams]

^ Inapt pea coat has been sold out for ages - I think they were only in stock like a week after they were available. Those were a good deal - I picked up a grey one as well.

[ouss]

oh shit!

what size is yours cuddly? i think i'm just gonna pull the trigger early on this one, it's the nicest coat i've seen yet this season

[kirbenvost]

The only well-fitting coats I've tried on for under $300 are H&M. They've got a few styles this year, but I wasn't paying attention to the length. I'm trying to grab a longer one, but I know there were at least some standard-length peacoats.

I also saw one in Guess the other day for $200 Canadian. Didn't try it on though, so I don't know the fit or length.

[homi29]

H&M stuff is okay but soo boring and disposable

i think im gonna try to avoid their stuff for something a little more exotic/high quality

[eddyz]

jack and jones has pretty nice peacoat for us college students.. just kinda sucks that they have to put 2 zipper pockets up front which kinda ruins the simple look of a peacoat

[GoSurface]

Not really short, but here's Ralph Laurens fall 07 offer:

At Saks, in black:

You'd probably have to get it tailored though, since most RL stuff fits like a tent.

[jeepster]

any thoughts on the h&m ones? i'd like somethign that will last until after halloween in terms of keeping my warm. it gets pretty bitter pretty quick after october in the northeast.

I dunno, there's one H&M coat I'm after that's got some really nice details, hook clasp on the collar, epaulets, flap pockets, the whole nine yards, not just a plain peacoat, but I can see where you're coming from.

Jeepster, they seemed pretty warm to me, there was one made of really thick wool and the rest are decent too. I live in Canada so warmth is definitely a requirement. Though later in winter you'd definitely need a sweater underneath. I guess the best thing is just to go check them out.

[freecat]

There is also a really nice marine short peacoat at Zara. I may get it, in that case I would post pictures.
