So I am looking for an overcoat mostly for business wear. Now I hardly wear a suit or even a blazer, but I would like to have an overcoat if the occasion arises and I would also like to upgrade my daily slacks+shirt combo with a decent outerwear.
I stumbled upon this coat on a BOSS outlet, 310 euros, color is probably blue-black while I was hoping for a gray/charcoal:

This is worn over a tight blazer and the fit is great as you can see I hope. What troubles me is the unique collar, which can close fully to protect from the cold, but is it dressy enough to be worn with a suit? Maybe the photos don't do it fully justice since you can open the collar up a bit more for a possible tie to show as shown here. Also, as the salesman added, when are you really gonna wear the coat buttoned up in Athens? (hot)
Now that's theirc-Sintrax model with "c" probably standing for casual. I am also considering their Sintrax5 model in charcoal shown below which should be slightly more suit worthy according to their site. The only difference I can notice is some extra fasteners(?) on the wrists. I tried it blazer-less on another BOSS store and it did slightly roomier although not enough to warrant a size down.

What do you think?
