Big Black Coat
Looking for suggestions for a big black overcoat. Needs to be wool (or alpaca or whatever). Bigger the lapels the better, although a huge shawl collar works too. Updating the budget to $2500. I want something luxurious and open to super weird or avante garde, does not not need to be classic menswear. Not really interested in milsurp or vintage unless it’s a cool designer piece.

A couple months old, but there might be some relevant suggestions in the Smiles thread: https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1306776647827193888

I honestly vote milsurp
I used to have a HUGE greatcoat that was really good quality, had to sew the buttons on a bit better but the fabric and fit was great
Damn most of the links in this thread are dead 😭
But also, y’all gave smiles so many good options holy shit
RIP
I wouldn’t be opposed to this style but I want something easily available. I’m not sure if I really want to hunt for milsurp on this
For greatcoats, milsurp is a solid option
