probably Outlaws of the Marsh. I thought it would be a pretty boring slough just for it being world literature but not even one hundred pages in and a main character punches a man to death in three blows, and runs from the law by becoming a monk. He gets kicked out of the monestary for getting drunk as fuck, destroying half a pavilion, fighting off fifty armed monks, then throwing up in the meditation hall.

It's cheaper to get a surplus one adjusted than buying a "designer" one
Plus a lot of "designer" pea coats look ridiculous themselves and don't function as actual coats. And wearing a coat that's not a coat is a pseud move

Not that guy, but the key in any case is to get one a size down from what you usually wear. Peacoats fit big, and that's why it looks like a big dumb tube on some people.
