yeah thats the one. i could return it but not exchange bc there is no smaller size. also the shoulders are a little snug for me to size down. it seems to flare out too much. a belt would do some good me thinks..

there is a sz small in blk at some other stores tho. not sure if i want blk, i need some contrast.

That's a medium? If you want to dump it, I might be willing to take it off your hands

yeah..its too bad. oh well on the buy and sell it goes

real question: im thinking about the toj fishtail... assuming i order a 44 and taking into account the slouchyness by design, would it look just as big?

i think the drawstring at the waist might help break that "dress" syndrome i have going on with the apc duffle. would the suppression help?

Snowman, have you looked at Krane? I have the Mathias parka, and it is awesome. Really warm, slim cut, nice details.

 

[shibbel]

Arent you like 5'7? 5'6? I would be very careful with the fishtail, you could end up looking like the penguin...wouldnt be much fun walking around having to worry about batman trying to kick your ass.

yeah i was looking at the krane stuff, really nice. i contacted ken asking how high the neck buttons up on the mathias and iirc its more like an overcoat, it needs to be worn with a scarf.

i do like that design but i wanted to go with a wool as well.

My favorite fit for a long time.
The pants looks great. Dont think I have the legs to pull those off like that

LOL

thats one reason why i went for this. how long is the fishtail?

When it gets cold out, you need a scarf pretty much no matter what coat you're wearing. Even if it buttons all the way up, you need a scarf to keep the warmth in. And what's wrong with scarves?

BTW, I'm 5'8" and my Krane has a fishtail back. It looks fine to me. Longer coats can be a good thing.

i just received this. trying it on for some critiques. its basically a toggle-less duffle.

there is some good news, i took zissou's advice and i think the pics turned out alright without going outside.

I like a larger fit on coats than most here, but that drowns you even to my eyes

The idea and combination is good though.

Snowman, APC is definitely try-before-you-buy for shorter people. Nearly everything they make is too long for people like us.

Here's a shot I took thinking of stuff for spring (going to be working in more professional environments) and a fit I wear for going to the gym/shopping crossposted to here, feel free to hate all you want:

I'm actually feeling the fake dicks (nohomo). Can you post a close up pic? I know they won't be perfect but curious to see what they actually look like, I've toyed with the idea of getting a few fakes just to see what some different aesthetics might look like on me.
