It looks like the Proenze Schouler coat, except for the toggles, which are light. It's very warm too! Anyway, hope this is helpful and good luck finding one :)<br>PS.

A nice change from the traditional toggle.<br><br><b>Anonyme</b>: Thanks for the input! I tried the APC duffle last Saturday at Le Bon Marché and it's indeed very nice but the tartan actually bugs me a little, I'd prefer one that's versatile enough and will work with most of my clothes.

I checked their store and found one, it looked really good and I was pretty excited but I had trouble with the sizing, I felt constricted in my standard size and the larger one well was to large... Too bad. Thanks and I hope you keep enjoying my blog!<br><br><b>q9y8</b>: I know!! I saw it and it's even more gorgeous in real life. It makes me think of what a "New Look" by Dior coat would be like in 2010.
