How is that a woman's coat!?
Gotta admit, 20 minutes to shave, shower and dress is a pretty impressive feat. I could probably just about do it, but it wouldn't count as a relaxing morning wake-up. 
Best ignoring comments like that, you know the type.

I'd lose at least a pint of blood!

You can't do that? Are you a girl?
Its easy. 6:30 go straight on the loo.
6:35 in the shower
6:40 out of shower, brush teeth, do hair
6:44 i am putting deodorant on, shirt on
6:49 I am downstairs grabbing my bag, putting shoes on.
Who needs more time than that?

Shave? Breakfast? Morning fap?

I'm in a daze in the morning, tends to take me about 5 minutes to put my cufflinks in.

Electric shaver, takes no time.
Breakfast at work
Fap at night
My most impressive feat was one time at uni, i was going home for the weekend, train at 8:18.
I woke up at 8:10.
I made the train

surpised if it takes me half that time
Very interesting jacket... too old-fashioned in styling and colour for my tastes, but looks like a nice piece nonetheless. Can't say i've seen one like it before though, and I wouldn't expect to find one anywhere "cheaply", especially considering it is 100% wool and obviously of very good quality. Maybe this is one of those instances where you should pay a bit of money, make an investment, and then have something that will last you years. It looks like it will last a good while.
EDIT - Plus with it being a limited edition you can be sure that you'll probably never see another one like it.
Alright thanks guys! I saw it was wool but it never really meant anything to me in respect to costing more
If that seems like a fair price then I am very tempted I also thought it looked quite unique too; have always liked old fashioned looking clothes but during my youth feared being ridiculed. Just don't like zips, or bright colours, trainers, plastic artificial feeling clothes/coats, large branded logos etc. Shiny looking jeans are the worse of all though and make me want to vomit!
How I long to be able to splash out more than £100 on a coat
My previous dark grey coat was £70 in a Burtons sale two or three years ago so

Just do it, there's really a difference (besides the obvious) in paying 70 quid for a jacket you think is ok, and 250 on one you love and have set your heart on. You'll get veery attached to it.

Good thread.
The op was very clear in highlighting that they were his views and not fashion lore or something. Not sure what all the fuss was about.

I picked this up not so long ago from YOOX.com...
Just thought i'd add that this jacket is one of the coolest I ever bought... Italian-made, great cut and styling, reasonably warm, and gets very nice comments.Composition: 100% Merinos Wool
Details: boiled wool, button closing, four pockets, with flap, long sleeves, buttoned cuffs, partially lined interior

Put a few badges on it and you could look like a German from WW11, very useful for fancy dress parties.

Thats a nice looking coat. Looks shaped for a woman from the front though!

That was my first reaction. It's cut very close above the hips.
