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!

Recommendations for crochet button-down sweater polos?
Currently looking for something like what Pedro Pascal wears in this ad. I checked Abercrombie but I didn't like their designs. Budget is $100 USD or less, and am open to online and physical stores. Thanks!

Bonobos in-store fitting experience?
I plan on making a 30-minute appointment with them soon at one of their physical stores specifically for chinos, as my other chinos are either too skinny (Jcrew) or too baggy (goodfellow). I hope to get the right fit/tailoring and was wondering how the overall experience was you all?

Long sleeve sweater polo recommendations
Any recommendations for quality long sleeve sweater polos for under $100? Preferably something with a johnny collar (but am open to suggestions with buttons if you think a particular one is really nice). I am in the USA, open to physical and online purchasing.

Looking for an athletic shoe for all-day walking (vacation)
I'm looking for shoes that are good for walking all day, offer all-white colorways, with a slim profile. I currently have a pair of (grey) Brooks Ghosts, and while they are perfect for walking all day (it's like walking on clouds!), they have a wider profile, and they don't offer an all-white colorway.
An example of a slimmer profile/silhouette is the Nike Pegasus (not sure if it's any good for all-day walking, can anyone comment?)
I've looked at the Brooks Glycerin, but they have the same silhouette as the Ghosts.
Any recommendations? I'm in the US

Dress shoes for navy suit @ fancy dinners
Looking to buy my first pair of brown dress shoes, planning on wearing them for fancy dinners and was interested in Allen Edmond's Fifth Avenue cap toe oxford. I'm not sure which color of dark chili, coffee brown, or mahogany is best for my needs. There was also the Meermin Expreso antique calf wholecut oxford that looked nice.
