If they both fit you as well as they fit those models (admittedly unlikely), then for $100 a pop I'd probably get both. That is if this is the price range you are looking at for your clothes. If you're looking to up your price bracket in the future then I'd get the trench as you can better realise the price difference in peacoats compared to trenches.

sorry they're not 100 bucks each. I meant the relative price differences between each of them are within 100. The first two are just PS and APC though, so nothing really special but serviceable.

aeglus I wasn't sure about them at first but after I saw it was you that posted them I say yes. I can see them meshing with your aesthetic

Personally, the back zipper kills it for me. I think it looks even worse in person.

Thinking to buy one of each of these:

1. Superga: should I go with mids (Torino) or lows (Portofino)?

2. Chucks high: stick with the classic, or get the new slim style?

I definitely lean towards the navy. More versatile (could conceivably be worn in 4 seasons depending on weather). I like the contrast between the buttons and the navy, I like the placement of the buttons, and i like the pockets.

$1900? This looks like some wack post-Matrix fetishwear.
