Love these. Total art teacher-wear, hides my body, has pockets, can turn the collars up in a pinch. Best item ever along with long-line V-neck cardigans.

At least one of my 3-season coats is actually one of these. Very tailored, 4 front pockets, one with flap. I want an identical one that's lined, could keep it another 20 years.

They're mostly the same guy so that's not completely outrageous.
i am seriously tempted by that ridiculous houndstooth jacket but i am not sure i can pull it off
i would pay cash money for it right now if it came in like navy or green or charcoal or something sane

I require hand-area pockets. Prefer full-on patch pockets to those diagonal slashed ones but require SOMETHING.

I just asked for the houndstooth one for Christmas since I can't find anyone stocking the Corcoran field boots that I actually need.
Goal until spring: dress like a paramilitary lumberjack.

these usually seem to be more expensive than any shirt OR jacket I would buy, yet not as warm as an actual jacket

Most winter coats are way too warm for me in the body, I just need sleeves and neck/ears to be covered.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Thursday, 29 November 2012 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
I ADORE the look of fitted formal coats on men and women both but I give up on wearing them--I beat the shit out of 'em carrying shoulder bags and swinging my arms and sweating in them, and I am ALWAYS sweating if I have to walk more than a couple of blocks. Ideally would want a winter coat with zipper vents under the arms and in the middle of the back. Will settle for houndstooth.

I had a beautiful cross between a striped button down and a jeans jacket presumably from the mid 60s. I boughty it around '85 and lost it on my interail trip. Shame always wanted another one like it but have never to my kknowledge seen one.

I emailed my mom that houndstooth jkt for my Christmas list and she had just bought that exact one...for my brother. Now she's getting us the same thing.

Would really like to find out more about that button down collar jacket thing I had in the mid 80s. I got around to googling it over the week but didn't have any luck. Looked like it came out of a '66 mod/freakbeat photoshoot. So I wonder if there were many of them made or if it was a short-term fad out of Carnaby street, Lord John or something.

CPO or cruiser jacket, right?
i think the cruiser coat is a little longer and has more pockets. thats supposed to be a 'hunting shirt' iirc.
i have been eyeing up the wwm flight jackets in blue tho. i kinda like the trend of making really heavy fitted blazer jackets like that, theres a nice boo two button tweed blazer jacket thats (unsurprisingly) steeply marked-down in my size that i want/have on my mental xmas wish list

I have been into things that are definitely shirt-jackety of late
although I don't think that they integrate well with my other jacket interest that I discovered a couple years ago: the napoleon pocket

i own a shirt jacket without hand pockets and every time i wear it rediscover the idea of having a tailor put hand pockets in it
― lag∞n, Friday, 1 October 2021 15:34 (two years ago) link
tho the shirt jacket depicted on aigle dot com is way on the shirt end of the shirt jacket spectrum so maybe you could wear it more like a shirt and it wouldnt be a problem
― lag∞n, Friday, 1 October 2021 15:36 (two years ago) link
yeah. i ended up there because i wanted to show you guys an aigle SHACKET yes i said it again lag∞n that i actually have, which is really one of my most treasured things now. it's got the side pockets and it's slightly quilted. god it's the best. the only slight downside is that the quilting can feel a little COLD on bare arms if you're wearing it that way but i just steel myself for it because i know it'll pass in about half a minute.

thanks! the socks were a christmas present - my parents know i love socks - with a ridiculously cute conceit - they come in a pack of two, one adult size and one kid size for your kid awwwww.
the side seam pockets are very comfortable, in fact i forget they're there. i don't usually like to keep big stuff in there for very long but it's extremely handy in, say, sniffle season

I like a slashed diagonal welted pocket myself but I acknowledge I'm particular. Or large patch pockets on the front, but that has something of an "art teacher/olde worlde craftperson" vibe. Which I'm also fine with.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Friday, 1 October 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
yeah i would prefer having some sort of further forward than the seam pocket were i to get my jacket altered, which im almost certainly not going to lol, but pockets on the seams seems like the easiest operation considering the jacket is all one fabric and theres not more of it

a few years ago my wife got me a stitchfix gift card thing as a birthday present. it was an interesting experience having clothes show up at my doorstep. they mostly look really good, but some of them revealed themselves to be shoddy quality over time (jeans esp). but i did get this nift shacket:

I had this great garment I bought in the 2nd hand clothing shop in Clapham that was like a button down shirt at the collar and had a bottom that seemed a lot more like a jeans jacket, I don't think I've ever seen another like it. Have thought of trying to create something more like it. Think it was pretty light but that bottom was weird for a shirt. Including the side jacket waist adjustment tabs you get on the back of jeans jackets and a waist band strip so I don't think it would tuck into trousers easily. Fabric a lot more shirtish than external jacket .
Unfortunately it was in a bag that I lost while interailing in mid 85. So can't check to see if it had labels or anything, whether it was a mass made thing or more bespoke or smaller boutique level numbers of production.
