Thoughts? I know not the traditional use, but what does everyone think about them? I really want one, but don't think I could justify the price without being able to use it for work. ThanksOriginally Posted by theyare
Sure.
The Sartorialist has a couple pictures (fairly recently too, I think) of some gentlemen wearing the duffel with a suit.

I hate to be one of those guys but, post pics and we'll know for sure.
Really though you should be OK. That should be enough confidence to wear it well.

When I was a young lad at Avon, we all did this given the location of the school in CT part of the freezing Northeast. I haven't seen many people do this since now that I'm in the Midwest. I think it is okay for boys or young men, old people who do this deserve to be slapped.
I have one. I sometimes wear it with a suit. I like it. Now, there is something a bit more "casual" about it.Originally Posted by epa

It's fine. It is a bit of a "younger" and more casual look, so maybe best for the under 35 crowd and not in the evening.
