Yes, actually. I assume whoever you work for sells them, yeah? How much, then?

Ah yeah, forgot about those guys...prolly what, somewhere around 1000 kuai or something? A bit more than I'd really want to spend, but I guess you can't get everything cheap here.

when you've found a nice place let me know. i've been hunting peacoats on taobao already for days, but im kind of sceptical about buying clothes on taobao. even more so since i'm not the same build as the average chinese guys, so it might turn out that i dont even fit the coat cuz of different bodybuild.

As the previous guy recommended, Jack Jones might not be a bad choice. I randomly wandered into a market near my work a few weeks back, and one of the vendors happened to have a Jack Jones peacoat for 300 kuai. It's a little big on me, but I layer underneath it and it looks fine. Really warm too - anyway, yeah, scope out Jack Jones and see what you think.
