Men's Fashion Friday - Military Coats

Military-inspired apparel is a huge trend for menswear this fall.  From cropped military-trench coats to military-like vests, this "protective" look is a major statement and a must-have for your Fall 2009 winter wardrobe.

I came across this Black Rivet Hooded Military Coat at Nordstrom for a retail price of $150.  This coat offers a more modern military look but can still keep you on trend for the season.  This wool/synthetic blend has a quartet of outer billow pockets and comes equipped with a removable hood, lined with a plush thermal material for additional warmth.


Below: Buckle's Truth Armed Jacket is a style steal for the Military look!  Affordably priced at $69 this zipper-concealed, button front jacket also has a four-pack of bellowed pockets. Taking the inspiration a tad further, there are epaulet details on the shoulders and an embroidered wing applique above the left front pocket. The backside also features a shoulder-to-shoulder embroidery of the word "Truth"... Lots of detail for little dollar!

Back detailing of "Truth" embroidery hard to see in above photo. Visit link above for more pictures.
