DC, thanks a lot! I love your style and trust your recommendations. I've been eyeing the slim trench and reading reviews today. Right now I'm torn between the burgundy and the navy. My style tends to be classic/preppy even when I'm casual. I wear black, charcoal/grey, navy,
camel, pink, white, cream and burgundy a lot. My coloring is a medium dark maybe like Kerry Washington.

All the info is so you can choose for me. I guess I'd add last that I have a navy stadium cloth empire coat but I don't think they'd serve the same functions. Thanks.

Hands down it sounds like the burgundy would work better for your wardrobe. That is what I would recommend! I love navy but if you wear a lot of black that wont work as well. I think burgundy is prettier than navy with charcoal, too, most of the time.

My vote is for navy. You can never go wrong with classic navy. It works well with every color, including black.

I k ow some people can pull it off but whenever I see navy an black together I always think it looks weird, specially if it is a may cost with black pants or something that drastic. I think navy/black only really w orks when it looks like it was intentional.

Navy is my favorite color. I wonder which color is more timeless... Navy or burgundy?

Navy is my favorite color too, but I have found that every time I buy a navy coat I don't wear it as much as other colors. Like I said, I don't like navy coats with black pants or tops, and I always end up picking a color coat when I wear jeans. I have an olive coat I wear almost always and I imagine burgundy would be similarly versatile. I don't think either will go out of style soon so you should get whichever one you like better!

I think they're both equally timeless. Just today, my mom pulled out a burgundy leather coat from the 70's. looked great with her outfit and I thought it was a recent purchase.

Decisions, decisions....

You can't go wrong with either color.

I have a quick question for everyone =] I tried in the majesty coat in deep violet instore in Canada and really liked the style but wanted the sandstone color instead. They didn't have the sandstone color instore so I ended up ordering it from the American site. I got my jacket in sandstone today and the material doesn't feel as thick as it did in the deep violet color. Is the material a bit different depending on the color or are they supposed to be all the same? TIA.

Anyone ever ordered from the Factory store before? What's the quality of those items like compared to the retail store?

thanks!

If you search this thread this has been discussed a lot before. The general consensus is that the quality is not as good. However, it really depends on the specific items. I find the blazers and outerwear to be thinner. I also find the t shirts to be of inferior quality- they lose their shape easily and don't wash as well as retail. The button up shirts are thinner, but otherwise okay for the most part. Sizing is completely different, too, so that is another consideration.

I have found that if I wait for sale, I can almost always get the retail version for just as cheap as the factory version with the benefit of better quality. The only time I would recommend the factory version would be if it is something you can't get retail (sold out, discontinued, factory original design), or if you are getting it for a steal.
