There is Jet's requisite snide remark. I have no idea why everyone gets so worked up when I pose a duffel coat question, while there are boring 1000-page threads on raw denim fading or 50 thousand queries in the ToJ thread if he will put out such and such when he has emphasized he will not. There has never been a thread comparing these two specific coats. I didn't start this thread to entertain anyone, I've been vacillating over these two coats and came here merely for honest input. So if you don't have anything to contribute, please leave and stop hijacking my threads. I appreciate the feedback from those that do have something to contribute.

A.P.C. = Ukraine (well this particular item)

Radiation-free air > nuclear fallout

I'm tempted to the pull the trigger on the Gloverall, but I'm just not certain how it will fit. There is an assortment of different Gloverall cuts and lengths, this cut seems to be as contemporary as they come. The A.P.C., on the other hand, I've had the privilege of trying on and the fit is good. It has a rear vent which provides shape. As of right now the A.P.C. is about 170 dollars more than the Gloverall, but the A.P.C. may be half off in three weeks.

With respect to the duffels or my riposte to the criticism of this thread, Edvard?
