You do see new toggles everyday, but as far as shit having multiple points of closure (i.e. button/toggles, zipper/toggles) I haven't seen that besides Uniqlo. Examples?
Here's my deal. I got this amazing navy orvis toggle coat a couple of years ago- before everyone and their brother came out with them. Mine has horn toggles (bad ass) and no zippers, buttons, etc. Basically, it's awesome.
What you got to ask yourself when considering a toggle coat is would these kids wear that toggle coat? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/gallery/2008/dec/09/top-10-school-films?picture=340474962 ) If not, don't get it.
If so, you're in the clear.
I think i'm in the clear with mine.
oh, and ps-
If I recall (I can't find a pic to prove it) didn't Kevin's dad sport a tan Burberry toggle coat in the airport scene?
He was pretty stylish, no?
It is a good point that the ubiquity probably has a lot to do with my dislike. Both Mr and Ms McCalister wore Burberry overcoats, I don't know if that makes them stylish, I think it was more about consistently showing that they were quite wealthy.
Angelo, you probably got me there on the McCalisters. In a way, this whole trend toward mainline companies and high end menswear companies has me bothered. Four years ago when I was wearing my ll bean katahdin engineer boots and flannels, it was just my style. Now, everyone's wearing stuff. I just know that in 3 years, I'm going to still be wearing the same stuff and people are going to be like, "Flannel is so 2009".
