Now that everyone is a week removed from electing into office his or her malfeasance-monger of choice, help me decide which A.P.C. outerwear selection I should pony up over half a grand for. First and foremost, In order to provide me with the most insightful advice, I must reel off my main trio of outerwear pieces.
Banana Republic Tweed Blazer/Coat with Epaulets and Such
Cockpit U.S.A. Horsehide Leather Jacket
Down Nylon Jacket
As you can see I lack an elegant wool piece, particularly something suited for NYC winters. Without further ado, here are the choices:
1) http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,978.html
2) http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,1056.html
3) http://www.stuartandwright.com/A.P.C...Coat_1899.html
I think choice 3 may be the woman's version of the duffle coat, but the men's version has an uncanny resemblance. All 3 items fit me superbly in medium and they are all close in price (so that is negligible). When I posed this question to the salesman, he said I could use all three -- and it wasn't a sales-driven comment, he knew it was beyond my means to purchase all three. It goes to show how my wardrobe lacks some essential items.
Early Gallup polls show the Duffle Coat is in the lead with the Short Peacoat trailing closely. The Blazer Coat is still in the mix but has some ground to make up within the next few weeks. I think the Duffle is most practical and very cool, but I think Peacoat flatters me the best but is the least warm. Let me know what you guys think, feel free to leave comments besides just voting. Thanks!
