very true, i used to wear that kind of suits while i worked as messenger (using motorcycle) when was raining, apart of it, i skip it for another kind of jackets, waring some sort of military suit in public makes you be seen as some sort of fascist (sad but true, at least in my country), or a homeless...

Horrible fashion, the person is usually a giant nerd or giant tool. Being near them, you are more likely to be offended by the smell of their whitemans dreadlocks then you are to get shot.

I just want to hear your opinions on wearing trench coats in public. Are they OTT, not appropriate, what? Please give me input.
It makes you look like the kind of person who wants to pretend he might be hiding a weapon. Most people will think this is lame.
If that's a problem, I'd advise against wearing one.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Despite it being way too hot to consider a jumper, plenty of guys will wear trenchcoats. They'll tend to be in their early twenties, and many will have swords on the bedroom walls of their shared apartment.
Most of them will grow out of it before they reach 30.

One of my friends came wearing a trench coat with the hammer and sickle buttons and red lapels galore. He's a (wannabe) communist though, so I guess that's his thing.
On a completely unrelated note, for some reason I have a poster of Che Guevera in my bedroom. I liked that movied more than I thought.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I wore a jacket very similar to this for over twenty years,it's been retired now in favor of a plain black one.
Don't recall it ever being to cold to wear it...but then again..I was in New Orleans.

Actually Ram,if I have any real advice for you concerning "style of clothes",I'd say wear what you want to.
Basing the decision of how to dress yourself based on other peoples opinion is pointless (other than in attempts to be another round peg).
If your comfortable wearing a trench coat,and you like the way it looks...wear it.

Everyone conforms in one way or another,those of us who,back in the day,had foot high Mohawks and spiky leather jackets were simply conforming to a different dress code.
I'm simply telling him to wear what he likes.
