Thrifty (cheap) people like me often buy things
well out of season in order to take advantage of the outrageous discount. This requires patience, forcing one to wait sometimes months to debut the new finds. And then there is instant gratification...I am, after all, American. Today was cold, tonight was colder, and so the duffel coat made a quick premier:

Let me tell you, it's nice to have a knee length coat option that works
in a casual setting.

Worn with a Brooks Brothers cotton cable knit sweater, Ralph shirt, and a $2 silk ascot.
This coat is going to get a lot of use this winter, guaranteed.
