those coats aren't manly enough

 

I can't imagine someone kicking ass and murking mad shadowspawn wearing something like that

Thinner material, blacker, shiner, and it would be perfect.

Well, i like them :P

I always thought they were like Mat's on the Fires of Heaven cover, but black.

I think RJ had more of an image of a Civil War style southern cut in black. Not so much ripoff Dolce. However, I must say that were it black and not gray and not so thick, and mentioned above a bit mote...shiny, yes, I could see that working.

put someone more manly in it, and it'll look more manly. :P and they have it in black. anyways, i'm pretty sure that Asha'man coats varied per country the man was from, and also what class (thicker wool, to finer materials...), and what taste in fashion. hence the difference in our opinions on if it looks acurate :) I'm from the true north (so wool will do nicely), and a tad more manly than the boy wearing it in the pics, and i ordered black, so i think it'll work :)
