Help me shop for dude coats?

[iamali]

Are you open to buying a used one?

$150 for two coats, one of them being heavy duty is going to be really hard.

I have no idea if this is warm enough (So Cal gal here):

This brand has a lot of options. DH has a winter coat similar to this one: www.dickies.com/mens-clothing/mens-big-tall/mens-big-tall-outerwear/Duck-Sherpa-Lined-Hooded-Jacket-TJ350.jsp

Lands' End has really warm winter coats.  They are full price this time of year, but I did find this one on clearance in big & tall sizes for $64.99:

Men's Squall Parka

That's a really good price!

Here's a lighter fall jacket from Lands' End in size 3XL for $44.99:  Fall jacket

And here's a fleece jacket I threw in if that's more what you're looking for, size 3XL for $39.99: Fleece jacket

At these prices you could buy all 3 for $150.  Shipping is free.

I was just going to suggest LE. They have great sales and discounts. Most likely the store won't carry the size, but online is good. They normally have deals- coupons/sales. Also, check out ebates or fatwallet for money back.

My brother buys between 2X and 3x and shops the sales at JC Penney, Sears and Sports Authority. He lives in Alaska and they just recently got Cabela's and Bass Pro so he might check those out this year, but he's not frozen to death to date.

Have you looked at farm and ranch stores? I see all sorts of coats there, often on good sales.

For what it's worth, I do know that Land's End coats are really good quality and warm.

So my uncle just moved up here and he has no cold weather coats. Long story but I am buying his clothes.

He needs a really warm winter coat. Like, super duper warm because we live in the tundra.

Also, a fall weight coat.

Want to spend $150 or under total on both.

He is size 3X big and tall.

Please and thank you.

That's not much of a budget, especially for a specialty size.

DH is XTXL, finding a coat is tough. And anything in his size is $$$.

I would suggest one of two options- Either a good system jacket that can be worn as a shell, liner or together

JCPenney carries this size, and at reasonable prices. I find, though, that sometimes their zippers are crappy. DH is really hard on zippers.

Or check Lands End for sale items in his size.

DS has that exact coat. In the hideous green. 

It's pretty warm. He's been unable to destroy the zipper and it washes really well.

What about carhartt? I see a lot of men wearing those jackets and they seem pretty sturdy.

I have no idea what they cost, though.
