Friday Fashion Thread aka The blind leading the blind

I need a new winter jacket, can the likes of @TheUlteriorMotive, @Nembo_Kid etc please recommend some of this years style?

down jackets are great. Warm, light, compact. Try uniqlo for some examples (under ultra light down). North face do nice ones too. Get the ultra light down variety and you won’t look like a Michelin man

If you want something dressier peacoats are always a good call. Can spend as much as you like but look at the Schott ones as an example

If you can pull it off Topman have a great sheepskin coat - proper Del Boy style

Could you throw up some pictures of each please, pal?

I was thinking of going for a peacoat as luck might have it

What about tweed? A good Harris jacket will last you a lifetime - can wear it anywhere too.

Got a very nice Hilfiger down jacket in Best Menswear Dundrum a few years ago. Reduced to under €40…fantastic purchase. Can’t beat it for standing around at GGA matches in the winter.

If you get a jacket that is actually down then you should never be cold again.

The uniqlo ones are great value for about 70 euro.

@TheUlteriorMotive

your thoughts please

Not great. Collar is awful and not really a pea coat.

Look at whistles.com or reiss.com for better examples

J crew has a lovely one

When is a pea coat not a pea coat? Please advise.

Should be double breasted, broad lapels and notch collar

The one in John Lewis looks like a cRdigan

Thats quite a clamping, please go easy on the Clare roaster, he’s clearly making an effort here.

In fairness to him John Lewis have described it as a pea coat when it is at best some reboot/reimagining of such and loses all the hallmarks and best bits of a peacoat. You don’t need to reimagine a classic - just need to do it well.

That’s the kind of thing Aaron Kernan wears as he desperately tries to stay in the GAA media limelight.

You have just sold me on it.

All of the above posts are wasted, sure chewy is moving in with his moth, isn’t he ?
She’ll decide what he wears. She’ll decide when he wears it, end of.

Why?

I treated myself to one of these last week from Zara, goes very well with skinny blue jeans and white nike air for that casual Saturday morning, having a latte look which I like a lot
