Wearing a winter coat near the equator

Despite living in this close to the equator (Sapporo is on the level of southern France, so by Swedish standards this is very far south), I bought a winter coat today.

It was super expensive, and since I work too much and never have any time to spend my money, this seemed like a good opportunity. My friends who were with me commented: "And the coat also looks very 'Jonas'". Meaning "weird".

It has a python pattern, but is not made out of snake. It seems very warm. My friends who were not with me today reacted to "I bought a coat" with "I do not believe that. Pics or it did not happen!", so here is a photo.
