The Perfect and Cheap Three Season Gray Coat

From Topman:  People’s Market Mac – $80.00 (reg. $160.00)

So you have suits.  That’s good.  But what happens when it rains?  You grab the umbrella of course.  But what if the wind should happen to blow?

That casual utility jacket or windbreaker won’t look right.  You don’t like trench coats because of the belt.  That’s fine, not everyone likes the belt.  And you’re not too keen on the double breasted look either.  Fine there too.  It can’t be cropped because you’d just look goofy with your suit jacket sticking out from under your jacket.  But you don’t want some almost to the ankles Inspector Gadget monster either.  What you want is a simple, single breasted rain-coat that’d look good over your suit.  And you want it to cost less than say, $150.

This one does all of that for only $80.  And it has just enough stylish details to keep it far away from boring London Fog outlet territory.  Trench details at the cuffs, perfect not too long not too short length, and the shoulder panels cut down at a great angle.

Sizes Small, Medium, and Large available.  And when it arrives?  Put it on over your suit, go see your tailor, and have them dart in the sides just a touch.  That’ll give you the athletic V shape without the pesky trench belt.
