October 25, 200916 yr So far my favourite is this one from French Connection. It looks reasonably practical, sober yet stylish. My previous coat was from FC and lasted tolerably well given the amount of use I put it to. Sadly it is beginning to go threadbare at most trailing edges My greatest concern with FC is that they design for fashion, and hence not short fat blokes. "It wasn't lies.

There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated.

October 25, 200916 yr Id recommend something that doesnt shoutout "sexual predator in the house" as much Good point. Yeah Wals that coat is a little crazy in the someones gonna get loved tenderly against their will look. I'd go with something more regular overcoatish that is longer than a regular coat but not tenchcoat long.

October 26, 200916 yr Length should depend on primary means of locomotion. If you walk and take lots of mass transit, get a long (knee length or so) coat. If you drive, get a shorter one. Long coats are great in foul weather, but can make getting into and out of cars difficult.
October 26, 200916 yr Author Length should depend on primary means of locomotion. If you walk and take lots of mass transit, get a long (knee length or so) coat. If you drive, get a shorter one. Long coats are great in foul weather, but can make getting into and out of cars difficult. Finally some sensible advice. Yes, I walk almost everywhere* and will aim for a longer coat. My main regret is that I no-longer possess my KGB officer's greatcoat which I used to own many years ago. The very thing for brisk weather, and no I think about it, ideally cut for the ever so portly. Sadly I fear it would be too outlandish a mode of dress for work or even going about town. *Hence, you will recall my rant about the inadequacy of the crotch in fashionable trousers. "It wasn't lies.

October 26, 200916 yr I keep two long coats. One is a traditional khaki-colored trenchcoat. This is for rainy conditions-- throw on a nice wool cap and you can get through light rain just fine without an umbrella. It has a button-in liner for seasonal variations, but it's still not warm enough for true wintertime conditions. The other is an dark grey (nearly black) wool topcoat. This is my primary wintertime outerwear. Paired with a nice thick scarf, it's as warm as a ski parka (with the bonus of being knee-length) and infinitely more fashionable. The cut of the coat is mostly a stylistic choice, although the single- v. double-breasted choice is important. Double-breasted coats will be warmer and more weatherproof. But they can also exacerbate the 'portly frame' issues, making you look wider across the middle. And a longish scarf, if positioned correctly, can address the problem of wind/rain blowing in between the buttons on a single-breaster. Edited October 26, 200916 yr by Enoch

October 26, 200916 yr Author Apparently being hung like a donkey is a problem. I wouldn't know about that. But I do know that being hung at all seems to be a problem. It did occur to me that you're supposed to wear them low slung around your hips, but I saw a man trying to run for a train wearing them like that. It was entirely hilarious. I have been investigating the russian coat option, and it works out to about 100 pounds, including shipping, but I can't help feeling I'm too old for such nonsense. i.e. I'm not a student or professor.
