I just took a closer look at the trench I got for Tony. This single item alone reaffirmed my conclusion that the men's collection was infinitely better than the women's in terms of style and quality. The style aspect has been beaten to death by myslef and others but the quality issue deserves a few lines. Firstly, the men's collection was composed of many structured items as would be expected for any men's line. For structured clothing, like a jacket or pants, the fit is everything. If the item fits poorly, the over all look is bad. If the item is made poorly, it shows. Not only does it show, it screams poor craftsmanship. I haven't seen Tony wear this coat yet, but already I know it will look nice. The seams are smooth, no buckling at the shoulders (which often happens) or the back. The stitching is straight which is much more than I can say about the women's. The little tiny arrows, which came to represent the men's line, are aligned perfectly with eachother and this a testament to the draping involved. Lastly, this trench coat has a removable, thin, down lining. What more could you ask for at $200? I hope Tony decides to keep it. It would be almost tragic to see it go...
