Duffel Coats: Merona or Tasso Elba?

[blank]

I wish I could change the title of my previous duffel coat thread, but sadly, can not. Anyways, I think I've tracked down two reasonable coats online. One is crazy cheap and seems to have a fit that I prefer (short at the waist) and the other is more expensive, possibly higher quality, but it's hard to tell. I was hoping a superfuturian would have some experience with one or the other. The first ships from Target? I know their shit isn't great, but it's also not complete dreck.

hiya,

i actually have the merona coat in the greyish color. its nice and warm and fits me pretty well, so I don't have any complaints. ive gotten a good amount of compliments on it. the quality isn't too bad either, at least in my opinion. I would suggest going to Target and trying it on if your able though.

I picked up the Macy's coat (Tasso Elba) in a small, even though I'd normally wear a medium or large. This allowed for a slimmer fit, even though the sleeves are like 5CM too short (not a deal-killer). If anyone wants pics I can post them. This thing is real nice.
