Hi, the TS(S) easy lined jacket? What is the sizing like? I'm in between an M and an L - should I size up or down?

Not sure if right thread but I’m looking for a brown and black learner belt. 250$ range. I am not familiar with any belt brands besides Anderson’s. I want something with a unique buckle (western). Something that would go well with NMWA aesthetic.

I’m almost never unsure about purchases, but I’m thinking this coat might be to long. I’m used to coats in this length, but they are double breasted overcoats for winter. This is a ventile cotton raglan. Thoughts? I guess I can shorten it if I find it awkward.

Pin it to knee-length and see how you like it.

Macy's has 'em on sale for $95. I have $75 in Macy's gift cards from a survey I did + appr $57 on a Macy's refund gift card that has been sitting around. So basically I would not be spending much of my actual money.

I don't think I ever had a pair of J&M and I know that their standards have gone down over the years. These would just be an addition to the closet. Worn with jeans whenever.

Yeah or nay? Just looking to spend the gift cards and don't need any more white V neck undershirts, socks or sweats.

Those same boots from a few pages back, but in tan

I think I know who makes those boots and I'm not really feeling that brand for what you wear (or what I've seen you wear). IMO, I think you'd be better off with a more casual boot. Those have a dressier lux vibe.

If you have go go for one though, I prefer the black pebble grains you posted earlier.

Thanks. I’ll just buy it, and if I find the length awkward I’ll just shorten it a tad. I’ve wanted to try a longer mac/raglan/balmacaan style coat for a while, but this is the first time I’ve found one that suits me which goes below the knees.
