Now, I've been complaining for years about how hard it is to find a decent, well fitted men's parka at trenchcoat length; I've seen plenty of them for women at stores like REI, and they only get nicer every year. However, when it comes to men's outerwear, people think that men are content looking like idiots in waist-length ski parkas. I have said that any designer who comes out with a trenchcoat length parka for men is going to make a killing.
Unfortunately, it seems Liam wants to do more than make a killing, he wants to commit price tag genocide. Do you want to pay $800-$1000 for a parka? The one thing you can say about going to the Army Surplus and getting a fishtail like you wore to the Jam concert in 1983 is that it's affordable, even if it does look rather juvenile for those of us older chaps trying to lean more "ace"-wards.
It exactly fits what I was visualizing though, so if Liam wants to (a) personally apologize for how expensive they are or (b) send me a prototype, a second, or even an off-the-rack piece, I'll take it. Whoever manages Pretty Green should comment or email and I'll give them my postal address. Thanks in advance.
