Came across two topcoats that are in my budget and have similar materials, color, and fit. I liked the look and feel of both equally so I wasn't sure which one to go with. Since everything is comparable between the two, and this board is a great resource for information, I figured I'd throw the dilemma to the forum for input. I know Hugo Boss gets a lot of flack on here so maybe this is a moot point, but I haven't heard much about Cole Haan's coats so please chime in with your thoughts.

Which coat would you go with and why? Thanks in advance for the input.

You may want to post pictures and the prices of the coats to give some SF members information for comparison. I'm not sure what style the HB and CH coats are, or the prices, but you may want to consider a JAB merino wool top coat. During one of JAB's 50%-or-more-off sales, one of these can be had for less than $300 (maybe less than $200). If you prefer a double-breasted style, JAB has DB camelhair top coats for less than $400 on sale, and www.overstock.com probably has Kenneth Cole NY DB coats for less than $250. Hope this helps.
