Hi! I'm new to this forum.
I've just bought this navy parka from A.P.C. from their A/W 10/11 line and I think most of you are familiar with this piece as it's an A.P.C. classic released for every A/W season.
I really like this parka and I've wanted to buy it since 3-4 A/W seasons ago but I was always late (they're outsold pretty fast!), and/or bought something else instead each time.
Well, not this time. "This is finally it!" I said to myself and went down to my favourite shop and took it home with me for $560. I've not used it yet as it hasn't really been that cold in Denmark yet but just when I was rearranging my closet earlier today I found a minor flaw on the jacket and the stitching in some areas was not done quite well, especially on the removable fur lining.
I'm quite disappointed with the quality and I can't believe A.P.C. being this "casual" on a $560 piece. The jacket seems quite fragile and I don't think it will hold for more than a season or two.
The parka is going back for the flaws/defects I found and they'll give me a new one but I'm not sure if I'll keep it anyway.
However, maybe I'm too judgemental because how can I be sure when I've not used it yet? But then again, if I take it in use I'm not entitled to deliver it back so it's a dilemma.
Do some of you have any experience with this particular parka and have you had issues with it during your ownership?
