I know its early, but im on the hunt for a winter jacket. I dont have time to shop once classes begin, so id like to get this sorted now. I dont really know what im looking for, im open to all options, as long as its warm :) Heres a few i found on ebay, just searching around, but am open to other options, and opinions on these two.

I wouldn't recommend a VS coat. I got the plain pink wool version of that tweed coat you posted and was really disappointed. The fit and quality were very poor IMO, and I returned it.
Not to be too practical or anything () but how cold does it get where you are? I like the shorter one better - the BR - because I love that length coat for the weather here in Texas. I can get much more use out of it than a longer coat.

ITA........my camel coat (sounds funny) came from BR. I love it!
I love J Crew coats. They only have a few on their site now but I'm sure if you wait a month or so, they'll have more selection. You can get this one lined with thinsulate:
I also really like the BR pink tweed coat you posted.
