My first post! Only recently started watching the show but my partner and I have devoured Seasons 1-7 and have already ordered 8.

Anyway, this thread is very timely for me as I've been wanting to smarten up a bit (I'm male and 36) and I love the stuff that Tom/Adam/Zaf wear, especially the single-breasted, mid-length black coats.

The trouble is, I'm a bit of a naff shopper, and am having extreme difficulty finding what I want - and I live in London! I've tried all the usual high street shops but this year it seems to be all short, double breasted/military jackets which are nice and everything, but not what I'm after.

I have actually found what I'm looking for in my local H&M (although it's not on their website). It seems to be just what I'm looking for: fitted, not too long (just above knee) and single-breasted. At £60 the price is good too, but I'm not convinced by the quality or how long it will last. The ones in the shop already look like they've been worn a few times, with loose threads etc....

Can anyone give me some ideas on where to get what I'm after? I guess I would spend up to £200.

Regards,

John

My man, welcome. Feel free to check any of my previous posts in this thread, as I tend to dress like Lucas/Tom/Adam/Harry (Smart casual) and have a coat like the one you have (it's a Dehavilland, and it's amazing!)

I shop around: Debenhams, Slaters, Suityou.co.uk etc, they all have nice shirts, trousers, jeans, and of course, jackets. Some are just too expensive, but I always manage to get the stuff I want relatively cheaply (£50 to £200) from the above sites and more.


Hope this helps!
