I was passing by the show windows of the H&M store around the corner from my laboratory and saw a man's overcoat which is obviously meant to be in steampunk style. It's based on the classic navy peacoat, in black with some distinctly Victorian-style cut, form and detailing. Very dashing, it would look very appropriate aboard the Nautilus.

A well-rounded gentleman should be capable of reading and writing both Greek and Latin, being a fair hand with most firearms and edged weapons, as well as being adequate at maintaining his own steam carriage and making his own laboratory apparatus.

Right, the link didn't work for me as well.

I only saw two black coats in the mens section, and the main difference I saw was 1 had a sort of cuff thing and the other didn't.

Was it by any chance one of these.



I found it on the Swedish section of the H&M website.

Maybe I should introduce myself, too...

They both look super. I'll have to acquire them, or add them to my christmas wishlist.

Oh, and that brown one seems to also be available in gray and black. Smashing.

I was dissatisfied with how they looked in real life.
That's my report.
