Lol if I may ask what was the point in stating that the Wolverines aren't seconds?
Humblebrag.
I know Alden =/= AE but I've received and seen some Alden seconds which I don't think should have even been sold. Because of that, I refuse to buy any seconds regardless of brand and especially if it is footwear since I will be wearing them all day. Plus, I got the 744 for pretty much the same price as seconds so I'm happy.
You have no idea how bad I've been wanting that coat. How do you like it?
It is noticeably slimmer than J.Crew or RL peacoats. I always felt like I was trying on Dikembe Mutombo's coats with other brands. This is unlined however but it doesn't bother me and I've always been warm wearing it. Since the collar is much more modern than the usual oversized collars of peacoats, you won't look like a vampire if you fold the collar up. Overall, it is an awesome coat and probably my favorite purchase. For $695, you get a 100% wool coat that is made in Italy which I think is a great price. I do understand that the price is kind of high but I don't intend to purchase anymore coats in the future.
And yes, the coat did sell out quickly. It was intended to be a limited release but due to the response, it will be sold annually.
