Need brand recommendations
Any brands that sell these kind of jackets at mid - tier price point other than COS, Arket, Asket? This is where I've been getting most of my stuff from recently, but I'm trying to start leaning more into workwear/streetwear style. Looking for a more relaxed fit aswell. I usually stick to khaki, dark green, grey, black, denim colors. I know there's Carharrt WIP, Levi's, Vans etc. Anything else? Less mainstream brands and European brands highly welcome
What about Vinted? Do you guys buy outerwear from there?
sorry i don't know shit about fashion

don’t apologize for not knowing things about fashion that’s why we’re here in this server
Carhartt mainline is better for traditional workwear than their WIP line imo
Jackets 2 and 6 are commonly referred to as type 3/trucker denim jackets. They look pretty similar to the Levi's one (they might not be) but you should be able to find them for relatively low cost on secondhand sites like eBay/vinted etc
The common thing I'd say for the two in the pics above is you can see how far over the shoulder the seam is, so if you want it to look like that make sure to size up for that look
as far as chore coats go, you may find something interesting in parks project? though they tend to take more of a hiker’s angle
Honestly just search ‘vintage french chore coat’ on eBay/etsy
You’ll get a lot of the traditional blue but they made them in all colors

These ones in your pictures are just bigger sizes, probably bought secondhand, and that would be your best bet: go thrift shopping and look beyond your regular sizing and try stuff on. This aesthetic is literally perfect for thrift shopping.
Imho, you would be better going to any charity shop in your area, and also espending time trying stuff on, Charity shopping has been destroyed by resellers so is just not the same, but there are going to be a lot of different styles and some stuff will work better than others in you, is good to just experience it and get a feeling on how different cuts interact with your body and personal style. Dont go directly to Vinted unless pro sellers as returns are complicated and you are not sure what would be perfect for you.
