hey guys, im looking for coat ideas, anyone got some good looking ones that they can recommend?
You could always look into something like a Navy Peacoat (doesn't have to be the Navy style one, either; any member of the Peacoat family should do just fine). Those are long toward the bottom without looking like you're headed in the direction of a trench-coat. I've also seen some versions of these that have a hoodie attached.
For shorter ones, something like the first one I was thinking of using is the Dickies Eisenhower. You can get it lined (which will make it a little puffy, but hold in body heat nicely in cold weather) or unlined.
For the military look, perhaps a M-65 jacket?
Something to take into consideration is the build-up of layers. As in, do you intend to wear a hoodie underneath? Or are you going to have a tactical belt go over the waist? Things like that. If you're going to have something like a drop-holster on a leg, then the latter detail isn't much of an issue, but if you want to have a hip-holster for a pistol, you're gonna want a coat that has a short tail portion on the bottom (like the Eisenhower or a well fitted, or possibly hemmed, M-65).
