Timez have chanced so, the traditional winter Goose Down has morphed to the sleek looking wool and or cashmere pieces. They also come in blendz but, you don't have to go classic. Renditions of the over coat have arrived in various forms and varieties. For example, the military inspired over coat has made its way in the gentlemans must have.
If you were paying attention to your favorite sitcoms, videos and or even coverage on the Red Carpet. You can see versions of the over coat.
To this Fall/Winter grab an over coat and leave the leather bombers in the closet.

August 15, 2007—Valextra has become the luggage of choice for the twenty-first-century jet-setter. Now the Italian luxury brand has come up with a duo of nautically inclined bags for those moments when the twenty-first-century jet-setter swaps his Gulfstream for the Gulf Stream. Developed in conjunction with Argentinean yacht designer German Frers, the two-piece offering is made from leather-trimmed canvas, and available in either cream or navy. Befitting the marine theme, it's also completely waterproof (in case the onboard Jacuzzi overflows, perhaps). A sleek, 2.3-inch-deep garment bag can be folded and carried like a suitcase and features a lengthy side zipper for easy access. Even smarter is the soft trunk (available in two sizes), which contains, Voltron-style, up to nine freestanding compartments for shoes, grooming products, and clothes. (The outer bag can be unzipped and packed away.) Fittingly, Valextra CEO Massimo Suppancig and designer Frers developed the idea for the bags while sailing near Portofino, Italy. “The pieces must be useful, and they must be beautiful” was the pair’s objective, according to Suppancig. “In the end," he adds, "we were successful.” Tough to disagree, though isn’t there a saying about a man waxing his own yacht?
Valextra / Frers Design garment bag, $2,950; small trunk, $3,480; and large trunk, large trunk $4,790; available at Barneys New York, 660 Madison Ave., NYC, (212) 826-8900,
