After getting used to them yesterday, I'm actually more used to them now and they seem to be more comfortable. There's no way I could have gone a size down or a half size. I wear a 15, so I would have needed to go to a 14.

Got it at Urban Outfitters. It's from Kill City I believe.

topman has stuff like this but I assume this is for a costume and you don't want to pay $80 or something.

A Topman store just opened in my city and I'm thinking of buying a few things there. How's their products quality?

Not amazing but it could suffice.

They're right hologram jackets are the new hotness.

that's kind of a weird thing to say. Sure, maybe they have reached a critical mass in terms of fashion awareness on the internet*, but it's a pretty classic wardrobe staple, and it's not like everyone and their mom is rocking peacoats out in the wild.

jacket looks nice to me, doesn't try to do too many things at once and the cut look good.

Peacoats are classic. They never go out of style.
Also, field, that jacket up there is nice.

For real. One of the guys who said it - someone posted his coat photos and it was this hideous and long white semi-opaque travesty. I was like OK, I'm free to ignore him.
my last zara jacket didn't even last 2 months. exchanged it and neither did that one. the lining tore up. buttons fell off... don't have much faith in 'em no more.

I think I got best list of online shops in the OP right now. Anyone got anything I'm missing?
Don't see Everlane, which is a favorite of mine.

Short sleeve jean jackets? Where buy?

Why the long case?
Man, I have become really comfortable with wearing beeswax Clarks or brown Sperrys everywhere. But I really want to get some white or grey shoes. Maybe Nikes with a red label like this.
The thing is, I don't know how good it would look. And keeping white shoes clean probably sucks. I just want to stray from earth colors like I tend to stick with.

Went to the new uniqlo in Brooklyn today. It was small compared to the other NYC stores, only one floor. The selection was really limited outside of the things they were highlighting. Place was a madhouse too, but I got an ultra light down jacket for cheap and some good jeans for $20. I dig their cheap jeans.

As an aspiring director I really really REALLY want this Panavision jacket I found at a thrift store...
Except it's 140 dollars...

acne, aloharag, alpha industries

That looks awesome, dude. Might have been a hard price tag to swallow but sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and put it on the credit card.
I want one too, but I don't want to spend like $400+ on it. Hoping mac's recommendations come at a reasonable price.
$120, bingo. Thanks!
2 other neat variations on the MA-1: A and B
The reissue sounds neat since it's longer on the body but also fits slimmer.
This M-65 reimagining is neat too. For $45!
This site is pretty wicked for basic jackets like this.

Those MA-1s are nice but the fits on those style jackets can really vary. I know it says "tight fit" so hopefully it's slim in the body, but with that design you never really know till you get it.
With that said, I'd totally get myself one in maroon. Looks great.

Nothing wrong with a puffy jacket.

Yeah. I feel that's why the reissue version was made, after looking at the fit description.
I wish I would've kept the one my older sister bought in the '90s. I eventually inherited it but have no idea where it is now. It was perfect black/orange. Probably had the puffy fit though, looking back.

My dad has a jacket like that....
I've been copping some of my dad's older stuff. I guess I'm in that phase.
If you wear glasses and know your prescription and roughly what dimensions of frames fit you then Coastal.com is having a "up to 50% off" sale.
They have a lot of frames that are meh, but there are some nice gems in there if you look.
I'm looking at these for $35 or these for $80.
If you've never ordered there, you can get your first pair for free (comes out to about $15 with S&H). Way, way better quality than Zenni, faster shipping, and free returns if you don't like them.
The selection of the "first pair free" might not be as good as the "up to 50% off" sale selection.

Where's good to buy suits from in the UK? Budget is ~£300.
I started work recently and I need more than 2 suits. I bought a couple from next which I'm pretty happy with, £99 and £179 ranges.
But now I want something a little bit higher quality. I've seen SuitSupply mentioned, will definitely go and have a look but what are the other options? TM Lewin seem to be popular. I bought some shirts from Charles Thyrwhitt which I'm very happy with so I'll head down there and see how their suits are too. Anywhere else?

Totally worth it.
