No. 1: Navy Overcoat 'Jort'
- Slim Fit
- Brown velvet collar
- http://eu.suitsupply.com/en/coats/navy-overcoat-jort/J304.html?start=25&cgid=Coats&start=14&sz=14



No. 2: Navy Overcoat 'Trento'
- Classic Fit
- http://eu.suitsupply.com/en/coats/navy-overcoat/J292.html?start=11&q=navy+coat



I've narrowed down my perennial search for a top coat to the above two from Suitsupply.

I like the Jort (w/ brown collar) but I'm concerned that the browness of my collar along w/ my brown gloves and brown Allen Edmond's will be a 'fashion No'?

Personally I think it would look sweet but I welcome any thoughts.

YOU appear likely to wear it so YOU should choose. The opinions of everyone else are irrelevant.

(sigh)

I wouldn't create this post unless I believed it to be relevant :)

The first link isn't working. Assuming it's made of decent material, it's probably less versatile than the other one, due to the velvet collar.

The 2nd because it doesn't have the extra detailing of the first (silver buttons, brown velvet collar).
