Looking for a casual gray overcoat!
I will mainly be wearing it casually. I want to get one that will last a long while, but not sure where to look, here are some of my criteria that may help with the search:
- Budget $1,000 USD, but willing to go to $1,500 if I REALLY like it
- Must be available in brick-and-mortar stores in the Bay Area or Chicago (I hate the process of waiting for long deliveries and delivery returns, I'd rather just try it on in the store and call it a day; honestly this might be the hardest criterion to meet). I prefer not to buy second hand
- Color: looking for gray, medium to light gray. Open to herringbone pattern!
- Single-breasted, notched lapel
- Knee-length, so a proper overcoat, not a topcoat or car coat that's mid-thigh
- Plain style, without much going on, for example I do not like belts, huge cuff adjusters on the wrists, many pockets (especially if they have large and thick flap covers)
- Material: wool, wool-alpaca, or wool-cashmere blend, with acetate or viscose lining
Thank you!

You could/should check if de bonne facture or Wythe has stockists in your area, their coats might be up your lane.
Maybe try suit supply. I'm not familiar with clothing shops in SF however
second suit supply, you can go with wool (https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/coats/light-grey-overcoat/J845.html) or cashmere (https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/coats/light-grey-overcoat/J834.html). I have the camel cashmere and love it. You can customize it to get it longer to knee length within your budget

$1000 is pretty good budget. Definitely a lot of online places well withing that price point
Berg and berg is one, but i know you want brick and mortar. Don't forget brooks bros. Perhaps they have something. They do mtm as well
I'd also try searching Google maps for menswear shops in those cities
Chicago def gonna have something
Honestly I’d just go to saks or Neiman Marcus and try on a bunch of overcoats since your budget is quite flexible
I'll definitely check out all the places you all recommended, thanks again!
