I just purchased the black harbourne trenchcoat from burberry. When I asked my sister what she thought of it, she said she liked it but it didn't look close to being a 1000 trenchcoat. Now, I did get it for about 50% off, so I didn't actually pay 1K, but my question is what are your thoughts on their trenches? I can see how people would fork over money for the beige, as it's quite unique and I feel like its harder to find a good quality, good colored, well fitting, beige trench. I tried on the ivybridge and it overwhelmed my 5'5" frame - so I opted for the harbourne even though it's about 2.5 inches above my knee. However, for casual wear I think it'll be fine. (i"m in grad school so I feel like a full length trench on a daily basis might get cumbersome) Perhaps though, the ivybridge is worth more money? I don't know don't kill me but when I tried it on it looked almost 95% similar to my BR trench I bought for a 100 dollars. (the ivybrige) I guess I am dealing with classic styles - so I am really paying for quality vs. look here. Is the quality really worth $900 more (in theory in this case since I got one on sale) What would you do opt for a different style? there was a really cute single breasted contemporary type sleek black trench as well, or keep the harbourne? my initial instinct was i love it, but my sister's remark threw me off. Please tell me your thoughts!!
(Oh and if your wondering why I didn't get beige - it totally washes me out, unfortunately)
