I am looking for a tailored, wool coat (fit and flare/trench/etc.) to use both with jeans, as well as look good with a dress or business clothing. I have very few occasions to dress up, but I do need a coat that I can wear in the winter, as all I have are puffy coats, parkas, and leather jackets. I do think something like a plaid wool coat would look pretty stellar with jeans and boots, so it would not languish in my closet.

I would love to find something in a navy blue/green tartan but can't seem to find anything like that right now. Am I trying to shop too early? Does anyone know of good quality and reasonably priced wool coats?

I sort of like this:http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cu.....dsearch-pe..., especially the zipper but am not sure if it is tailored enough for my liking. I prefer the coats that have some seaming details around the waist and on the back.

This is why I wish I could sew (well)....

I get a very specific piece in my head and then I can't find it anywhere!
