Great Expectations.

Your automatic response when seeing this coat might be to put it on during your trip to the Andes or your visit to the ashram in the American Southwest.

If you really want to break some rules, youll wear it to your nieces art opening in East Harlem or the college football game to which your coat appears team-neutral, yet the sheer decibel level of your cheering rivals even old man Caruthers, whos held his season tickets so long he refers to the coach four times removed as that idiot back in the 90s. Finally, theres the brisk, early-morning bicycle ride through the park. Get yourself an old beach cruiser (theyre not just for the beach) or dig out that rusty Schwinn from Aunt Eleanors attic.

Defy a few expectations.
