I keep thinking a long, thick wool coat would be a good addition to my winter coat capsule. I would wear it casually - mostly over jeans and pullovers, but it would serve as my "dressy" coat, should the need ever arise.

These three are currently on my radar; do you have a vote as to which might work best for me? Or, should I keep looking?


I should add that I don't have an immediate need, and am not in a rush to buy; I could happily wait until NAS or later to see if something else turns up.

1. I like the military vibe of this one, but does the lack of shoulder seams make it look TOO slouchy? Bonus that it has an interior pocket and reviewers say it is really warm.

2. (Finds photo is wrong; this is the same toffee color as the others, and longer - ETA photo of the long toffee one). I like the high neck of this one. Not sure those hip pockets would do my own hips any favors.

3. This one is great, but I worry it is TOO dressy. The built-in belt may be too high for my long torso.
