Is it just me or does the uniform shirt feel a bit too much like cosplaying? I want to get it but I’m worried it might feel more like a costume than actual workwear. What do you guys think?

I have uniform shirt and don't feel like that at all when wearing it. Feels actually extra casual and easy to wear, I wear it with jeans mostly. A very easy to pull off shirt in my opinion, but I can see if you wear it with something like pleated chinos or trousers how it becomes harder to pull off. But with casual stuff, like jeans and even shorts in summer - easy pick for me and very wearable.

Maybe even easier to wear than my work shirt in navy military satin...

Epaulets always strike me as a bit costumey, I only really like them on trench coats because they’re part of the style. Of course, others may disagree.

Haven’t thought about it… seems really casual to me. As 13.characters said, if your pairing it with pleated chinos or trousers it might not work as well as with jeans.

At that price point it is a bit ridiculous, particularly considering that the brand that made it has its own products priced much lower than that (from my limited research). I need a similar coat for my climate but I would not consider it even on discount.

The new knitwear colours are pretty nice though.

I like how it looks, not the fan of super synthetic materials and a high-tech feel - the mesh lining, the inside pockets that looks like pockets of a hiking jacket. I think JelleKelle said it good - though I think it has a bit more elegance than the average dress sneaker.

The lines on the pockets and cuffs and lapels look nice to me, would be nicer if they had stitching though and the material was natural with some light padding/warmth, not just a single layer of tech fabric.

And the price is absolutely ridiculous for a tech coat to me. The guys will be matching Loro Piana with these tendencies soon. This is getting out of my budget I'd want to spend on that type of coat, unfortunately.

The Teclor has their coats at about 800 eur in their store, still expensive, but this is more than double...
