I just went to Lord and Taylor and they had a really nice houndstooth coat similar to this one!!! I thought of this post right away! It was on sale for about $240 I believe and it was just like this one except that the houndstooth pattern was a bit smaller, meaning the black and white markings.
It was by PORTRAIT and I saw that the contact was gallery@jgallery.com I think!
fyi - its NOT the one that nordstrom.com has on its site either...really different actually...
