Belstaff jacket on Depop for cheap
I’ve been eying this for a while and I’m almost ready to buy, but I’m a little worried it might be a fake. I know Belstaff isn’t as popular in fashion circles as Barbour but I figured I’d ask https://depop.app.link/AgnKplpDDQb

Versatile cold/rain boot suggestions
So, I've been looking for a pair of boots that will work for the snow or rain while still being versatile for different outfits (i.e., not duck boots or something "gorpcore"). I bought the Sorel Madson II Chukkas from my employer (I work at a Nordstrom Rack and get 33% discount at full line Nordstrom), but I'm not sure if they're weatherproof or durable enough. I like how they look (although not so much how hard they are to put on), but from what I can tell they're not very weather resistant because where the gusset begins is pretty low. I also read they're not super insulating in the cold. For context, I live on Long Island, so while it doesn't get super cold and snowy often, we do get seasons, and recently in particular the cold has been intense.
Anyway, I was curious if there are better options in this category. Budget wise I'm limiting to around $130 (what I spent on the boots after discount), and willing to go secondhand
(Also if it’s relevant I do have a pair of Timbs as well)
Edit: also, they don’t have to be chukka style, just not technical looking like duck boots or full-on snow boots—more mild looking
