Good people of Dappered,
I am searching for a new coat for this winter (and late fall, I'm in Virginia.) I've only just recently begun my closet purge/core wardrobe build, so I don't have anything that fits me well. I have the opportunity to purchase Icebreaker apparel at a discounted rate through the retailer I work at.
I'm looking at either the legacy "trench" here: http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Icebreaker-Men-s-Legacy-Trench_10197549_10208_10000001_-1_
or the legacy coat here: http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Icebreaker-Men-s-Legacy-Coat_10197547_10208_10000001_-1_
These are both heavy merino wool coats. Both of them come out to about $140-160 after my discount. First off, I know the "trench" isn't really a trench, but I like the styling anyway. On the other hand, I think I'll have more opportunities to wear the coat than the trench; I already have a light Marmot soft shell in the same vein that fits me rather well.
I'm considering the trench because my school's dress code is business professional (I am an international relations major), but I like that the legacy coat can go from the town to the trail and function well in both environments.
Opinions? Has anyone seen these in person?
