hello

wondering where to get a duffle coat for ~150 dollars

slim-fitting, preferably

thanks

I'd like to know too though, doesn't have to be slim fitting.

Uniqlo. Size down.

I've seen them at RL outlets for $150 or so. You might want to try calling one if it's near you.

The best and most original ones are by Gloverall. And they are mostly rather slim.

STP has Gloverall's for $199.

Add the 20% code (51112) and use Google checkout for an extra $20 off and you end up at $139.

Now if someone can point me to a US source for short duffle coat (like the Japanese Avirex) or a hoodless short coat (hitting waist to mid-thigh) with toggle closure, I'd be most happy.

would a 36 gloverall fit approximately like a 36 jacket? and any other suggestions? EDIT found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-Saxon-Black...QQcmdZViewItem it's approximately the fit i'm looking for, does anyone know of the brand? (oh and i'm ~5'10", 145 lbs (slim)) thanks

Most duffle coats run a bit large because they're built to go over other clothing like sweaters, jackets, etc.

They are nice, but they are not at all slim.

I have a brown one that's slim in the sense that it's not sack-like. It may or may not be the so-called Original model. Of course, it's no Slimane slim if that was what the poster was looking for.

My friend got a Duffer of London coat in brown, size M almost brand new. I'll post some pics if you're interested

oh and please post pictures if you can

i'm seriously thinking of getting a gloverall coat, but i'm looking for a shorter alternative, and as slim as possible

thanks again

thanks

I had one made for me, in a wedge shape. One of my favorite, everyday garments, during cold weather. I find a wedge to be much more comfortable to wear and to sit in, than a very strict, straight line cut.

I think if you want it slim to go down two sizes. STP has a great return policy. You could buy two different sizes and return the one which doesn't fit. FWIW - I wouldn't go the ebay route if you've never tried on a Gloverall.
