Plain Wool or Cashmere Scarf or Beanie
Preferably a red scarf or a gray/green beanie (darker earth tones). Its a gift so my usual style doesn't apply, want minimalism here. <$150 pretty firm this time around, with shipping to Europe (Germany) required as well.
The gift receiver gave me https://www.asket.com/us/shop/accessories/cashmere-wool-scarf-beige
or
https://isto.pt/collections/knitwear/products/cashmere-beanie-olive
as ideas. Both these brands are rubbing me the wrong way so I'm doing my own research.

Black Overcoats
I know thrifting. But what about new?
Black overcoat, should hit below my knees, ideally has some type of interesting detail, and should be made of wool if possible. I'm asking for cool stuff and inspo as much as for myself so no budget, though if its less than $1000 that's a plus.
Y'all know my style and ideally this is congruent.

Puffers
Thinking I need a black puffer, preferably hitting around the waist. Also need it to actually be warm as my winters are consistently in the 20s F, with a few days closer to 0 F (so down filling is appreciated).
Obviously there is the TNF Nuptse. Stussy also appears to have a nice option for a similar price. Wondering what other options there are in the <$500 range, but preferably around $300.

Interesting Belt Recs
Need actually interesting belts of any material, with a particular focus on belts that are more than just plain leather with a basic buckle, eg: western and tech belts. I have some (cheap) plain leather belts that are working for me right now, and while I may need to upgrade at some point, right now I wanna see more interesting options. I'd probably prefer <$100 but don't let my budget stop you from showing me a cool belt.

Need a Fit Doctor
As many of the regulars know, I've been feeling a little in a rut over my fits recently. This thread is to help me gain a clearly idea of my style, and focus on using what i have instead of buying more clothes.
Brand Inspiration: The brands that speak to me the most right now are honestly ALD, Corridor, and 4S Designs, with some minor streetwear inspo (graphic tees) as well. Some of my inspo from their lookbooks (I don't find corridor's styling particularly compelling, though I really like their clothes).

Leather Watch Band Recs
My old watch band smells like absolute death. I have the tool to switch straps so in the market for a new one, preferably light grey or dark brown leather. Any good recs? Not sure how much I should expect to pay for this, so ~$100 or less, but <$50 is ideal.
I've gone to Crown & Buckle for NATOs before, and had great experiences with their customer service, but I'm not sure about their leather. Could also go back to my watch manufacturor but it looks like their leather bands are ~$70-110.
