If Abercrombie and Fitch is hell, American Eagle is probably more akin to purgatory. Sure it doesn’t smell like the over-scented A&F store a few doors down in the mall… but if you go in and head to the fitting rooms, you’re bound to notice that everyone standing in line with you was born in the 1990s.
A lot of their jeans and sweaters fit well, but they also pre-rip a size-able portion of their inventory. And their logo is loudly visible on everything that they make.
Except for this strangely well designed… and I hate to say it but… pretty sophisticated looking trench coat.
It’s classic with an updated fit. Khaki or black (looks gray to me) are your choices for colors. And the only logo appears to be the small one on the inside tag.
You might not have Zack Efron’s hair, but you sure as hell don’t have his money either. So braving the tweens and high-schoolers might just be worth it.
